People should be aware that there is such a thing as libel, which is
defamatory written speech. From freeadvice.com:
"Defamation, sometimes called "defamation of character", is spoken or
written words that falsely and negatively reflect on a living person's
reputation.
"If a person or the news media says or writes something about you that
is understood to lower your reputation, or that keeps people from
associating with you, defamation has occurred. Slander and libel are
two forms of defamation."
In other words, if you go using extreme negative words to describe
someone (see subject line), and it is later found to be false, they
can sue. You really don't want to be in that situation if (1) you
have deep pockets, or (2) they have deep pockets.
In other words, don't go around venting in public. If you want to
report a transaction gone sour, you can do it in factual terms. Let
the reader draw the conclusions.
