In article <%xU6b.5539$Mg7.5459nopsamw1no>, eBayJunkieNOSPAMnopsam.ca says... > I think that when you use a word like "criminal" and assert that Saab is > aware of a dangerous situation and go on accuse of a cover-up akin to the > Ford Explorer/Bridgestone example, you are drawing an extremely thin line > between what is "libel" and what is "fair comment." I don't think I am misusing the word "criminal" at all. I've explained exactly what I meant by the term and you have read my explanation. In fact, at this point I think you are inflating this nit so you can rationalize your own frustration at being unable to address the real issues my posts are raising. You don't want to read that Saabs have problems. ****** The fact remains that I had two blowouts in six months (less than 10,000 miles) on Saab's OEM-supplied Michelin tires, with good care and light driving use. This performance is unacceptably poor by any standard or measure. The fact also remains that you don't know squat about American Communications Law, the concept of "fair comment," or what passes for Freedom of Speech in the US. Perhaps you should confine your responses to Saab's very poor OEM choice for tires in the future. > > After spending a good 20 minutes reading all of these posts (and that's 20 > minutes I will NEVER GET BACK), I think I might find it funny if MB and Saab > ended up in litigation. It would at least add to entertainment value. No one asked you to read my posts, or anyone elses. If you can't stand to read a reasonable complaint once in a while, then maybe YOU're the whiner here; and not me. As far as litigation goes; .... well, your nieve comment just shows how very little you know about product liability law as it is practiced in the United States. I have no plans here. > That's not meant to offend MB, who obviously has, in his mind, a very real > issue he's dealing with. > > RiCK Here's the deal: I had two blowouts on low mileage OEM tires that should NEVER have blown out. It isn't just bad luck: It's a product safety issue. ... Not only for me, but potentially for any other driver of a late model Saab that might encounter the same conditions I did. This makes my post a good subject for this newsgroup. Because it involves low profile OEM tires on a smaller sedan; it also makes my experience a good one to share on several other auto newsgroups as well. The discussion here ought not to be about whether I personally am a whiner, a moron, an "arrogant prick," a poor sport, or am "slandering" Michelin. The discussion should be about Saabs; other small cars that are equipped with low profile tires; good and bad tire choices; tire care; and links to where all of us can conduct research into these issues and more. mb
