Can I get in trouble for this?

***UPDATE:

I'm not going to do this. I have another idea I'm brewing... It will be a surprise though. Something that won't detract in any way from LIW and something positive. And helpful!***

I have had personal experiences with some really terrible companies and posted my opinion about them wherever I could. Epinions.com, BBB, resellerratings.com, and my own blog even.

Seeing how some of you ladies have gotten totally scr*wed by vendors who don't stick to their contractual agreements, I was considering asking you to email me your situations to provide a web-based 'shame on you' type of thing. It's a way I can vent my frustration at the way companies treat consumers these days, and give people some consumer empowerment.

But could I get in trouble for this? I don't know what the legalitites of this is, if I only have to provide the vendors with a way to rebut the info I put up (which would be easy; I have a comment feature on my website). I wonder if they could threaten litigation, and want to guard against that before I decide what to do.

Any thoughts?

i think you need to be careful with that one! i would think there are definitly methods companies could sue for slander or something.. i would contacta a lawyer about do's and dont's if you want to do this!
