since said douchebag has already been identified, despite not saying his name, the knowledge is present for those with relevant experience (having read the forums or shown up at BAM) and the statement is clearly about him.
That's a real stretch.. In your example, this is assuming that everyone knows you are that douchebag - that it's common knowledge. Unless the knowledge exists in this thread, wouldn't you would have to prove that the information located elsewhere in the forums were actually read and processed, or that you and your antics really are on everyone's mind or something? Possible of course, but - it's a stretch.

I guess by your logic, these and many other statements made by Paul could be considered libel by implication:

BTW do you have a urinalysis to prove this "high as a kite" accusation?

According to the Air Force Reserves as of last month I'm clean as a whistle.

No one threw you under the bus except yourself. I never directly accused you or anyone else. Congrats on being clean as of last month!

Now its time for me to get back to work!

Thanks

I do, however, remember a certain former employee of ours showing up to work "high as a kite" once. He was then let go and I believe he has now found employment at another local shop...

I believe it was you that developed/tested/packed/ and even franchised the business concept of using fear & scare tactics to grow a business.

Remember those crazy, heady days of S^2 and how you played a major part in ruining a shop's/tuner's reputation?

You perfected the practice of "analyzing" another tuner's work for drumming up business.

In my shop, you told several people that they were "driving a ticking timebomb." Maybe they were, maybe they weren't, but Sybir's 2005 STi was one of those cars.

And he's put another 50,000 miles on it after the first owner took your advice and sold it.

So before you go around saying someone...me...is making "inflammatory comments" you might want to review your past practices of doing the same.

Wow Paul. Way to bring up a 5 year old topic out of left field. I think that subject has been discussed to death and its clear that you and I have very different views on exactly what happened and what was said back then. Considering this, any further discussion with you on this topic is a complete waste of my time.

Thanks
