I want to thank Eric Wu from Rentwiki for the comment below. The lawsuit was settled out of court. We actually have the update over at mbrewergoup.
This is one to follow my friends and with so many far reaching consequences, it should be interesting. I will do my best to post the progress of the mediation and any subsequent actions that come out of it.
Yelp user faces lawsuit over negative review

Hi Mike,
Fortunately, the lawsuit was settled. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10139278-93.html
I definitely see both sides. As a business and property owner, I want my right protected against defamatory remarks. As a consumer, I want the freedom to read and express truthful, unreserved opinions. I would not want to be the FCC or whoever attempts to clearly define what constitutes an unlawful review.

Never a good idea to submit negative remarks on the internet especially in the corporate world. I totally agree with Eric regarding the defamatory remarks.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment.
What do you do up there in Vancouver? I lived in Seattle and frequented Victoria - love it there.
We moved our blog over to mbrewergroup.com - would love to have you over for further discussion.
