Good for Lucas though! Despite losing jobs and a pending lawsuit, he continues to blog. Doesn't the developer realize he is adding to his negative press by suing a blogger for stating his and his reader's opinions. "Smear campaign?" Are you kidding me? Build a quality product and no one will be able to "smear" it. Absolutely ridiculous!!! Good luck Lucas and keep up the honest blogging. There is no other way.

I had no malicious intent against the condo developer, nor his condo development. The reason why I wrote the post was because I was receiving a high number of phone calls from people stating to me that they did not want to close on their condos at Opera Tower. About three weeks ago, a local newspaper unraveled the story that a class-action lawsuit had been filed against the developer by contract holders looking to get out of their contracts. This was something that I had known months before through the conversations that I had with contract holders. I, for one, believe that a blog is intended to share opinions and concerns. I was merely sharing these concerns with others who read my blog. I had no intention of conducting a "smear campaign" against the condo developer, as the complaint stipulates. I guess the court system will judge the outcome of this situation. This is a very difficult situation to be in right now.
