I would call it threatening. I took the line in all caps as though they were going to take some legal action against me. Ragfly, before this e-mail, I just said I was unhappy with one incident with their plugs, which I'm entitled to do. I'm not saying everyone of them breaks but that plug had been out of the package for less than 72 hours and it had a hook failure. By the way, once I replaced the hook, one of my other casts I had a bail closure and snap! For all I know, it could have been the hook manufacturer's fault. I really don't know.
Ditch, yeah I know that I made it public so nothing can be done but hopefully enough people will see how Gibbs treats it's customers and they will rethink their purchase. I think that letter was a "scare tactic" though. Fortunately, I've been threatened with a similar lawsuit so I brushed up on my Slander/Libel laws and even I could see this was frivelous although I am still pretty p.o.ed.
John, I just saw your post and maybe it was some joker yanking my chain. If that is the case, I guess I gotta apologize to Gibbs. here is the header to the email address:

Allright John, I took out the part about the "T" word. But I better not hear any words about, "Why don't you have a job?" because that is why I don't have a job.
