If it's based in fact it's not slander.
Clearly you've never read into English Libel law
.
But beyond that I just want to make my position clear so that there isn't any misunderstanding:
The A1 had critical flaws in it's chipset. This is now accepted and (fanatics notwithstanding) agreed upon by the community as a whole.
However, at the time Eyetech actively squelched any mention of these flaws and even went so far as to co-opt the aid of another forum (who shall remain nameless) to act as it's agent in silencing any negative statements. It could well be seen as aiding and abetting fraud imho.
At the time Eyetech were seen by many in the OS4 crowd to be the second coming and it was not unusual to see any criticism of that denounced as lies or otherwise libellous. My big fear here with you saying what you have (understandable from a legal standpoint I suppose) is that legitimate issues could be similarly silenced.
Amiga.org is a very easy going community and we try and not be forum police. Everyone can form their own opinion about matters and enjoy healthy debate about Tech topics. If it becomes hurtful or slanderous to members or compaines then a mod may have to step in. Common sense and respect for others goes a long way.
I hope so.
