This is not to flame you or to start a flame in general, but if I were to say
that the company you work for is not a reputable company and that I was
personally screwed by you and your company (THIS NOT THE CASE), wouldn't you
have something to say about it.  If you and your company suffered damages
because I defamed your name, wouldn't you want to sue me.

I am on both sides of this issue.  I believe in free speech on the Net and
believe that advertising should only be done in the appropriate places.  I do
not believe that a Net user has the right to defame someone by spreading it
around the Net.  Social skills and diplomacy are of utmost importance here in
cyberspace.
