Apartment complex sues website over critical posts
This is ridiculous. An apartment complex in New Jersey is suing people who made anonymous comments that they sucked.
They are also asking the court to order the website operators to remove the critical posts — which they characterize as
unlawful— and keep users from posting negative feedback about their properties in the future.
Instead of suing people, why don't you actually address the concerns? Try fixing the problems or practicing quality customer service? Nah, that would be too easy. Best comment in the article:
What many corporations do not realize is that the negative publicity such punitive lawsuits bring them probably outweighs whatever benefit they would get from getting critical comments removed from a forum, or a critical site taken down.
So true.

Yeah but you can't really prove or disprove "Grande sucks," so it's kind of hard to sue over it. Any actual complaints were facts so I think I'm in the clear.
