Rhonda – the issue is that companies come and go with obscure officials and agents of record. Not that I am implying that it happened in this situation, but I totally agree with you that heresay is not good when you make a statement of that magnitude.

Aren’t bankruptcy’s public record? If so, hind sight being crystal clear, shouldn’t the blogger have linked the BK to support his statement? If you’re going to make a bold statement, I think you need to back it up.

You beat me to it Benn – nice reporting!! I was just going to post the whole ordeal from the beginning. The guy was fired for stating his opinion then was refired when the law suit came up. It’s an interesting turn of events because we ARE liable for what we write in our blogs but at the same time it is also our opinion.
Do we have to write **this is our opinion** in every single line – maybe we should consider writing a release on all our blogs.

Benn, you are absolutely correct. The RE.net has grown to the point we can, and will, police those blogging within it.

I am actually planning to do a post on the “issue” as well, after I do the PR search.
