Bub - you are right it is human nature to speculate (or comment/judge without the facts) and never more so on a forum were identities/motives can be hidden. This is true whether giving a judgement on a company or a product never heard.
This is not much different to mob mentality, when having heard part of the story a judgement is made, a bandwagon is jumped on, a demand is made for action and that the group concerned come clean. Next the mob bays for blood (figuratively or literally).
Which is more fundamentally dangerous?
A wise man once said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
Merlin - can I assume that:
1. You have a right to the 'full story'
2. You are a legal expert and therefore KNOW the legal position on 'taking action against forum owners
3. That you KNOW what professional advice Mana have been given
4. That you KNOW what JW/Mana's financial position is and if they could afford to take legal action even if they wanted to
