Being passed on my P3 has caused me all of the same.

" our man joe, indeed knows no shame,

to ask as he did for a carbon fibre frame.

i could, if i liked, call him lame,

but instead we will add him to our suit, by name."

customerjon @gmail.com is where information happens.

jmg,

You seem to misunderstand the law here (aside: whatever else you want to allege about me, I am not a lawyer).

If I understand what you said, the following occurred:

-- You chose to provide Cervelo (Gerard) with e-mails you received from Guru.

-- Those e-mails contained statements made by them -- not you -- which Cervelo believes are legally actionable as false and libelous assertions about their products.

And you're upset because, once the information you voluntarily provided alerted them to this fact, they chose to act -- without further clearance from you -- to defend their rights and interests?

You have to be kidding me -- what the hell did you expect? What would you have done if you were in their place?

Cervelo is not publicly traded. But if it were, and I were a shareholder, I would regard it as a gross lapse in fiduciary responsibility if Gerard hadn't taken the action he did.

Like you said - Cervelo is NOT publicly traded. I think that some action is just by Cervelo...however I think that maybe a better reply to the e-mail would have been putting that e-mail in an add and explain why it is false...



Add:

"Our competitor Guru bicycles said "this"..."that" is the truth...are our bikes to good the competitors need to lie to compete?" Makes Guru look bad with their own words...AND makes Cervelo stand out.

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Evidently, the quote function here allows one to reference and cite cyber-communication (once it's been voluntarily provided), without first getting the poster's prior permission to do so.

If he feels 'violated' by this, am I obligated to ship jmg my P3? :-)

Please advise.

What I thought I said was that you need to ship him your used bar tape as a settlement for this matter.



I have no idea why the post did not show up.

Uh-oh -- does this mean you now owe me yours?

I'm so [i]confused[/i]!

Hmmmm

Anything you write to any company can be used as evidence in a lawsuit. And Cervelo can't stop you from talking about it unless they have a court order that restrains you.

Cervelo's management are ethiclly obligated to put forward the best case they have to advance their position. The best lesson that one can learn from this is to be careful what you say, because someone may use it in an undesirable context.

Depending upon the type of case, you may have the option of filing a brief directly with the court to clarify your statements. Or you can contact Guru and suggest they call you as a witness to refute your own email. You should contact an attorney if you would like help sorting this out.


However, if I were you, I would stop talking to Cervelo and their attorney and I would just let the matter die. Nothing good can come of it for you, and your email evidence will probably not win the case for Cervelo.
