Josh - thanks so much for the information (you can bill me for the time )

My question is, what is the legal definition of what message board statements would result in a conviction for defamation? Without what was posted above, I would have thought that a claim that a company "appears to be a fraud" would be fine since it wasn't stating the company actually was a fraud; it just appeared that way. So is it problematic to use any negative adjective when describing a company?
