Hmmmm.  I didn't think that was how things worked.  I thought you could post
your opinion on things, as long as it is in a forum where the other person
could respond to your claims.  And, since the Internet is accessible to this
store (as they saw your post), could they not respond?  

Now, what you can't do, is print flyers, and walk down the street handing them 
out, as the store could not tell the people who took your flyers their side of
the story.

Anyone with a <correct> legal opinion?
