My PRELIMINARY answer to your question(s) is for general purposes and based upon what little information you have conveyed. It is based on such limited information that the general answer should never be relied as a reason for your action or inaction. My response does NOT establish an attorney-client relationship and such may only be established by mutual agreement, and the signing of a written retainer agreement, which will generally require payment for our services, as this is what we do for a living and, just like you, we must get paid for our work.. . less

Obviously this vendor has not heard of the First Amendment; however sometimes it makes sense to just to walk away; this individual appears to be mentally unbalanced. Just because someone is a business owner does not magically transform them into a rational being. So if you post anything uncomplimentary, he will likely retaliate.
