What's a little libel in the family?

Solomon has officially lost his mind over at HHI. In our decidedly non-legal opinion, he has committed obvious libel against Odyssey Marine, and perhaps Greg Stemm, in his latest post.

Referring to an Odyssey project that's a decade old -- the Melkarth -- the Angry Twit smears his slimy innuendo everywhere:

"History Hunters knows much of what Odyssey has done. Far more than the company has ever published. We know, for example, where the [Melkarth] shipwreck is, where the amphorae were stored on their voyage back to port, and what happened when Stemm lost his nerve. We even know where one of the amphorae is now - in whose living room it stands. We know what was said to whom, when, where and why. As we do for many other Odyssey projects. I don't think their facade will stand much longer. When it goes and the world sees the ugly truths behind the mask, one of the secrets to be revealed will be that of the Melkarth."

Mighty big claims there, Bartram. You better pray your "information" is correct. We're convinced the burden will soon be on you to prove these scurrilous libel and defamation charges in court. The separation of the Atlantic ocean is not legitimate protection or a defense, Jack Ass.

Once again, it's amazing how often the HHI scum claims inside information that comes at the expense of Odyssey's reputation and integrity. Is any evidence ever provided for these charges? No. Proof? No. Sources? No. Names? No. Documents? No. Anything? No. Just take their word for it, they've got something. Just like Solomon's recent "knowledge" about mass arrests in Spain involving Odyssey, right?

By the way, Bartram, you do realize your post has a copyrighted photo of Odyssey's used without permission, don't you? Got your checkbook ready?
