Let your lawyers do your talking.

Seems to me though, people who are being discussed here are not "companies" per se. Someone who begs for early payment for a new monitor or to pay the rent is not normally someone who is going to put a slander case together with a decent lawyer on a huge retainer, because of what was said about them on a message board .... especially if it was true! I agree with others, if it's worth mentioning a bad service it's worth mentioning who it is so we can all know to avoid them. That helps the bad guys lose and the good guys prosper.
I don't do a great deal of outsourcing myself - but I do do some, luckily I have yet to be ripped off. If someone appears they are living dollar to dollar then that is the biggest flag to me. I dont regard them as professional, they obviously can't manage money and paying them anything is clearly a risk.
