Not so much sure it's about 1st amendment rights or about malicious slander..... Expressing an opinion is one thing, but attacking a manufacturer based solely on others opinion of the company's quality is quite another..... Not sticking up for Streetbeasts, but in this day and age you can sue anybody for anything. Whether right or wrong, it's going to cost everyone involved a bunch of money.... IMO the site administrator showed a lot of irresponsibility in putting his attack in writing. When you do things like that, you'd better be ready to back it up in court!!!!!!
