Businesses need to learn that while they definitely have rights to respond to online comments made about/against them it also pays to have a sense of scale. FAB was not vindictive or vexatious to the Plough Inn and to threaten to sue him is a completely inappropriate response.

Any court case they mounted is almost immaterial - there is no way they would survive the damage to their reputation online.
