Commenters are solely responsible for the content of their comments.
I generally do not post comments written by parties referring to other parties who are both involved in an ongoing or pending legal dispute with each other such as litigation. Exceptions to this may be allowed for comments on a blog post that has a topic focused specifically on said legal disputes.

Consumers posting comments regarding their opinions of medical treatment they received are solely responsible for that content and readers should understand that such comments reflect opinions, not facts.
