What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
This is borderline ridiculous, but here it goes. We have a very aggressive Kirby Vacuum distributor here in town who constantly posts employment ads on Craigslist. Most of them are outright lies as to the description of the work. Anyhow, many people reply to his ads stating the job is in fact door to door vacuum sales. Well, today, I did the same thing. I stated it was a Kirby distributor and the job sucks, you won't get paid hardly a dime, they lie and cheat, their product sucks, they pray on the elderly and weak minded and basically do Satan's work (which is all true, save for the Satan thing, depending on your opinion!) . He replied back that he was going to sue me for defamation and contact the police! Colorado does have a criminal defamation statute. I took the post down within 15 minutes.
Does he have a case, or would the state have a criminal case against me?
