    I agree...and to that end the thread title has been edited to reflect that the issue has been resolved. Furthermore; the request to edit the thread title came from the OP once the issue had been resolved.

    As complaints against a vendor go this one was handled in clean manner. Not only did the OP edit the first post to note the issue resolved the members of Motoring Alliance did not jump in and condemn the Vendor, pretty much every post in the thread offered advice. There was not the mass hysteria either for or against the Vendor as so often happens on sites with a less enlightened membership.

    I don't know if you read The Oatmeal (a web comic) but that site's author recently went through a similar kind of thing. In the end, he won, the accusations were dropped and a huge well of public support went to him and a great deal of condemnation went to the douchbag lawyer who thought intimidation was the way to go.

    The original (and wonderful) post at The Oatmeal is here
    FunnyJunk is threatening to file a federal lawsuit against me unless I pay $20,000 in damages - The Oatmeal (NSFW language, possible imagery)

    The long and complete legal analysis is here - and is worth reading for the total insanity of the the lawyer involved.

    Oatmeal V. FunnyJunk | Popehat

    I recommend reading the whole thing from beginning to end.

    On what possible legal grounds? M/A didn't write the review, the customer did. Their issue would be with the customer in my view.

    That's not to say they couldn't put some sort of heat on him, but I think the first amendment should cover him nicely.

    I agree, do not back down, he's on a fishing expedition.

    Oh no...it's a "legal attorney" doing the heavy lifting.

    Wow.

    Presumably the rest of the letter to Nathan made sense. I thought that using a term like "legal attorney" was confined to those "Dear Sir/Madam: My name is Hiram Montague, Esq. and I need your help in transporting USD $2 million out of the country" letters.
