No need to fix anything.  ;)
It's impossible to know for a fact that an event of this nature did not happen. Therefore your statement can only reflect a belief that you hold.

So you stand corrected.
Work is what you do between vacations.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/31/best-response-starbucks-cease-and-desist_n_4524621.html?ir=Parents

For the other side of the story, the guy was using their trademark intentionally, and there isn't really any other way to tell him to stop besides sending a cease and desist letter. This isn't really the "big company harasses little guy who thinks up a cute name that sounds funnily like big company" story.

Why should they care to tell him to stop? He's not profiting more because of the name, and he's not causing them to profit any less. It's ridiculous.

They need to protect their trademark if they don't want to lose it.
Sure, if you look at any individual case it's just a little guy who's not costing them anything. but put them all together and suddenly you lost your trademark...

I thought that letter was awesome, but Starbucks did nothing wrong here, they're just doing what they need to do...

CV, I didn't know that you were the gullible type.
I guess I am gullible. I believed all those crazy stories about Catholic priest to.  ::)

ETA: Rabbi Smukler did the right thing by suspending him until the investigation is over.

Come on, all those other stories you are talking about are not like this.
I think you are missing the point. I don't think you want me to post a hundred links that mimic exactly what happened in the Catholic church.

When it comes to children I don't care if the accusations are against the Pope. I will side with the children until it is proven otherwise.

Really? Even if someone accuses the pope tomorrow of committing violent rape halfway during midnight mass 2013?
You mean like this: http://articles.philly.com/1993-11-13/news/25947071_1_steven-j-cook-sexual-abuse-cardinal-bernardin

In the end the allegations were proven false and the man recanted what he said. The Cardinal was made stronger because of this. I would hope so will this Rabbi if the allegations are also false.

What does that even mean? How was he made stronger? Would you like to be accused of such a crime, so that in the end you'll be 'made stronger'?

And if the guy didn't recant and the car is closed 'for lack of evidence'?

You would have to ask him but I take it to mean he was brought even closer to God.

As for your last question, no.
