There's a need and time, even a responsibility, to publicize bad dealing; otherwise we are corrupted by the process. I find a lot of complaints tedious in the way they are presented here, more as cases of special pleading than information.
For purposes valued here, I think it's enough to describe a transaction concerning a gun or services: what you thought you bought and what you got and briefly your disappointment with the way the seller handled it.
I-said, he-said, he lied, I Sir Galahad are unnecessary. The reason for posting is to provide a heads-up for members. I opened a box of new Champion aircraft spark plugs without electrodes; the company apologized and replaced them. Enough.
If Champion or distributer sought a different remedy, I would have described it in briefest terms without imputing motives. It's plain-old consumer advocacy. A citizen's responsibility. Libel, slander, defamation should not enter into it.
