Default What do people make of this?

This arrived in my mail-box overnight:

Dissuasion / Request for forbearance

We accept under no circumstances your malicious statements from Pro Cooling about our products.

You know you are not authorized to make such statements regarding our products.

You also know that you go with your statements far beyond comparative advertising.

Statements about other firms products, which do not correspond to facts or which affect the business are punishable. If you carry on behaving in the same unprofessional manner and you do not contradict your unjustified statements within 24 hours and you desist for the future, we will initiate all legal measures against you, which are common practice in these cases.

Concentrate for the future on your own products, instead of denigrating other firms products.

The block's base looks like it's been machined flat with a fly-cutter, and then electroplated with copper for a nice shiny finish, mostly covering the fly-cut machine marks, but still leaving that tell-tale ripple effect that fly-cut machining has.

In short - a very cheap method to achieve a nice "mirror" finish - but not exactly flat.

They're upset about my description of the quality of the base, and my opinion on the type of machining that would have produced such.

I'll post some pictures, which I wasn't going to do.

I will also edit the above statement to strongly reflect that it was just my personal assessment of how the base was machined.
