Right, but what about the "godfather" discussion with David Gray? That's hardly just a negative opinion and its extremely unlikely to be true (to say the least).
In reading the Herald article Wenzel says he just wanted an apology and couldn't get one. If that's the case, its really a waste of legal resources to pursue IMO.
