    Can't beleive that someone is allowed to openly slate someone else's business on the grounds of something that was written in the Daily Mail:eek:

    Er... I can. It was already published, even if it was a rag that published it. It's only "someone else's business" (and I presume by that you mean personal, private business) if the details were published here for the first time with nothing to back them up.
    Can't see what's so unbelievable or :eek: about it...

    But its another website slating the company not somebody on boards.ie, how is this boards fault?

    For clarity sake rodento, do you own or perhaps have any relationship with the business in question?

    Na i'm just a surfer who thinks that the thread with links attached is more than a bit harsh. The guy lives in another country and as such can be a easy target.

    Yes, the link is harsh, I think it was trashy journalism and it makes for unpleasant reading. But as I explained in my PM to you, I didn't remove the post because those reasons aren't good enough to do that. If it was some guy's blog just talking trash I would have removed it. But I can't really take issue with someone posting links to articles that were published in a mainstream newspaper (not that I'm a fan of the Daily Mail by any means).
