And your implication was that you had information that indicated he may be a
Mets fan, when indeed you had no such information, except your own speculation,
despite the comments in the article from the registrant himself AND from his
attorney that indeed what you said was not true.

But on matters relating to IP, you have consistently played right on that line,
making implications of a case being much more severe then the facts actually
support.
