In light of the current legal predicament that MNHQ finds itself under, I was wondering about the legality of openly criticising a method that you do not believe. For example, on the weightloss section, there is a Rosemary Conley thread. If I followed her routine but found it did not work for me, am I wrong to criticise her methods in an open forum? If it worked for me, I would openly praise it and recommend it to others so what is wrong with the converse? Similarly, on Amazon, purchasers are encouraged to give their review on items they have bought. If you disagree with the content of a book, you give the reasons why and do so without impunity.
I am genuinely interested in a legal perspective on this. FWIW, I was a fan of the instigator of the current situation because the methods suited my situation.
