Slander laws protect you if you are stating the TRUTH... if you say that somebody is UGLY, that is your opinion, and it is a slander... if you say that somebody has one eye bigger than the other, a nose like on a gibbon, double chin like on a pelican, bowed legs, left side of the head is bold and the right side is overgrown, has buck teeth - as along as the description is correct and you are not drawing your own politically incorrect conclusions, you are safe...
so, if I say, that there is a long-standing member on the forum who claims that he had his truck serviced for oil change by a Blah Blah dealer and due to a mistake by the technician, the engine hydrolocked and seized, and that the dealer in 4 months has not resolved the issue - you are stating this to the best of your knowledge, and this statement is protected under the Bill of Rights... you let the reader draw conclusions, even though it was your intention in the first place to flame the dealer...
it is similar to the can of beer in brown bag - everyone knows that you are drinking beer in public, (which is illegal in many US jurisdictions) but it is covered, law is upheld and everyone is happy...
I still think that the OP needs to show that his patience has limits... unless, it is limitless and he is ok to wait for a couple of years... Which I don't think is the case...
