Courts don't give a shit about that kind of stuff unless you can show a significant loss of revenue caused by what the person said/did.
Even then it'd be a toss up.
After my Dad got nearly killed by a bar owner, bar owner was convicted in criminal court at a stupidly reduced sentence (plea bargin, DA didn't want to "btoher" with it), and lost in Civil Court, I have zero faith in the court system.

I had not noticed his ability to be a jerk until he started heavily bashing Engl's quality on a thread. When I was asked what I thought, I explained how I might expect a certain aspect of one amp's design (mounting an output transformer to a circuit board) to not be a wise idea, but that it depended on the situation (since it is evidently a smaller output transformer and might be mounted well to the board, as long as the board is good and the board is mounted well to the chassis etc.--hey, I'm not an Engl service tech so how would I know?) He then took my words out of context (recently) in an argument with Derek, saying that I'd "agreed" with him about "Engl's build quality being shit". I was going to reply on the thread but it was locked before I got the chance. I was not happy about that at all, especially when I defended the rest of the things he was slamming about the designs (which so many other companies using PCBs do the same, and don't have serious problems with).
That made me take another look at him.

I agree with this. As long you agree with his opinions everything will be fine.
If you disagree with his opinions, things can take a downturn quickly

Petty to you maybe not me and the guy has sent emails to every company I do business with claims that Im a drug addict and other things trying to ruin my rep and business. If you think any business can do that against other business's your completely wrong. He could of easily made his point clear by mentioning my business in his claims about Mojave without the whole buyer beware BS and ridicule that ended up making him look like an idiot. Even so his Mojave claims about me are BS too as he was never an official dealer cause he never completed his buy in as I did.

Wizzard of Lard is a Grade A jackass. Anyone that starts insulting someone's family over a friggin guitar amp needs to get their priorities straight. I still laugh when I think about him crying because he claimed that Derek "made him carry his own amp".

I've done alot of business with rock solid amps and can assure anyone that has doubts that there is nothing to fear. Everything that I have ever bought from DerekB has been packaged imaculately and had no such marks or tears on it. Everything was in new condition and had that new amp smell. It doesn't leave the Engl factory even in the condition Heinz5757 has said. I've talked to Horst Langer (ENGL Designer) and he has a lot of pride in his amps. If something did happen to an ENGL amp, DerekB and Horst would be on top of it until it was resolved. I bought a new cobra once from DerekB that went bad due to tubes and he had it replaced with a new amp the same week before I shipped back the bad one. Thats service. :\m/:

I can assure you there isn't anyone on this board that has any doubts.
That said, I'm sure we can all have doubts if asked to show up in court....
