    I can believe that a company would even try such drastic tactics. The legal action itself casts a bad reflection against the company. That's one! Number two is...we as consumers don't have the right to give our opinion any longer. Come on!!

    I think a lovely example of "nowhere to hide" is the current WrapIt meltdown.

    For those that don't know, WrapIt is a wedding list servce that went into administration at the start of the month.

    These disgruntled customers set up a forum http://www.wrapitcustomers.com/popular/all and *then* found links to a management conusltancy news site that alleges that directors got some loans paid back a few weeks before the company went bust. This information would only have been available to specialists ten years ago.

    You can't hide on the internet. Transparency is good for good business and maybe it's about time that some VCs were made to feel more accountable too.

    If I was inclined to nip over to The Funded now and leave comments about VCs, man, I'd be there all day ...
