Is it libel if it's true?

I saw a poster on STW, matther01, reading three pages of a thread and he wasn't any the wiser. He must be a bit thick.

Or did that not happen.

Could someone condense it down to a few easy bullet points so I know what to be enraged about?

3 pages on...and I'm still none the wiser?!

Al fell out with the coffee shop owner.

Someone posted on Trip Advisor saying he witnessed the event.

Someone else on TR said it was Al that posted the comment about the coffee shop.

Al came on here accusing it to be someone off here who identified Alistair as Al claiming it's libel.

Al said he posted as Alistair after all.

I think.

If Al is Alistair and Alistair is Al, who is Jeremy and why was he watching Al talking to Alistair outside the shop.

Who had the candlestick?

It really isn't worth the effort. This was really a storm in an Al flavoured tea cup. Al made the tea, poured it and drank it (he may have even stirred it with a carbon fibre flavoured spoon).

Move on. Motogp later, yippee.

I saw somebody condense it down, but I still didn't get any pudding

In the last few hours AlastairSn's post has been out liked by Jeremy P's post by about 6 to 1 - but still has a lot of catching up to do. Which will end up the most useful review - you decide!

cynical has either been hoisted by his own petard and his trolling has spilt over into the real world, or is trolling us even harder than usual and it is all a wind up, to wind up teh haterz as we may all be called shortly if that turns out to be true.

Nope, and "honestly held opinion" is also a robust defence against libel charges.

Are you going to sue if you find out who it was cynic-al?

Start by listing your enemies and the reason they might have wanted vengeance on you.

So Al did write the original review there? I'm confused.
Hang on I don't really care. It's all idiocy. The whole thing.

The mods tried to lock it, but a guy from the cafe came out and gave them a load of abuse.

One thing I can be absolutely certain of, it wasn't me! I live several hundred miles away, and I've never been north of the border.
Waved at it once, from Carlisle... 😀

Not me.
Can't say I've noticed al being nasty to people on here either,maybe I missed those threads.
As for libel, can't see anything libellous myself unless you're not a "self styled internet big hitter".Maybe it was someone off here trying to be "funny" and/or getting their own back for a perceived slight from you but bringing your employer/place of work into it is a bit low.

Life certainly is tough for some but suspect it's a might tougher for a few others around the world. What a sad thread.

Can someone tell me how to read the scandalous review. The link in OP post just takes me to some posts that I'm sure wouldn't be generating this response...

On a side note - if you had to choose would you rather wonky fingers or bulbous toes?

I have flagged the negative review with Trip Advisor and pointed them to this thread. I also copied in the cafe and the bike shop that was mentioned.

Hopefully now they can sort it amongst themselves like adults.

Meanwhile, where's Al gone? I hope he's not loitering outside that Cortado shop now, anxiously whittling lolly sticks into tiny blowpipe darts. 😀

Al's here, but posting under a pseudonym for his own safety.

The only one of the three that's willing to sort out his grievances "like an adult" By dealing with it directly with the person concerned, is the cafe owner by the sound of it.

(Although to be fair, there was a threat of "mild violence" involved, maybe rough tickling, or a wedgie? So not that much like an adult)
