Irrespective of the first amendment, one does not have the right to say what one likes if that is going to damage someone else. Of course, we don't know what the neutral said. There's also the issue of the score (seperate from the comment). Could one sue for loss of business due to a grey or red blob on eBay feedback? Perhaps one could, though I think it would be difficult because unquantifiable. I guess not, Dan, otherwise there would never be any libel/slander cases?
