Webster's defines defamation as "the act of injuring another's reputation by any slanderous communication, written or oral; the wrong of maliciously injuring the good name of another; slander; detraction; calumny; aspersion. In modern usage, written defamation bears the title of libel." With that said, methinks they doth protest too much. If their hold on their business is so tenuous as to be threatened by others' opinions or reports of their experience(s) in a semi-public forum, perhaps they should look to the core values (or lack thereof) of that business. Furthermore, it's been my experience that those with the most to hide often are the ones most desirous of quashing dissent. Soon we'll be burning books....
