Gary the webmaster boards often include some less-than-friendly banter of this type.
My advice would be learn how to work it to your advantage and bring yourself more business from it, rather than getting bent out of shape and threatening to call your lawyer. Doing that makes you look like a thin-skinned whimp. That will cause you to lose more business than *any* comment made by anyone, because people will wonder if they do business with you and something doesn't go your way - will you handle it like a professional man or will you simply turn around and take legal action?

However, if you can take the comment on the chin, handle it like a man and even make a joke out of it, you're likely to gain some business. Quite a few people do a ton of business from board pissing.

Long story short - KC's post is right-on. You jumped into a board piss, don't be shocked that you got pissed on. It comes with the territory.
