Yes, but restaurant and film critics write within a specific guideline of libel law that permits it. There's a big difference between saying you didn't like the lobster (opinion based on fact) and saying you think the chef was trying to poison you (unsubstantiated statement based on previous opinion).
From my understanding of this whole mess is that people are basing opinion on an official report. What next, will RYR try and sue the BFU for daring to make the report public?
