<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2170235, member: 28107&quot;]This is not defamation/libel.&nbsp; First, truth (and a good number of the critical statements are accurate and true) is a good and absolute defense.&nbsp; Moreover, suing would open up Carr&#039;s coins to a legal adjudication and this could easily backfire on him.&nbsp; Second, people are allowed to express honest opinions.&nbsp; Only material misrepresentations of fact are tortious.&nbsp; And therein lies a crucial distinction.&nbsp; Opinions, even unfavorable opinions, are protected speech.&nbsp; Third, a lawsuit could potentially be met with a malicious prosecution countersuit and perhaps even a HPA suit depending on the members targeted.&nbsp; Bottom line:&nbsp; I don&#039;t think he has a cause of action and I think any attempt to pursue a lawsuit would backfire and potentially burn him badly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
