Just so you know ... in the United States freedom of speech protects you if you express a personal opinion about someone in a public forum provided your statement is not an incitement to violence or a reference to criminal behavior.

On the other hand ... calling one's employer and trying to get them fired ... or calling firms they contract to and trying to get them to breach a contract is actionable and very large settlements have been awarded.

People living in glass houses should refrain from throwing stones.
