As you may have heard, SEI has chosen to defend its reputation and is taking legal action against Dr. Hammonds, a gentleman who made multiple disparaging and false statements about our company over the past several months on multiple forums. In many cases we give people the benefit of the doubt, but when an individual states that our products are not well-made, it strikes at the heart of the SEI business model – to make quality products to very high standards. SEI takes great pride in its craftsmanship, as many customers have noticed. Nevertheless, we gave Dr. Hammonds multiple chances to retract his false statements about our products and he refused. Reluctantly, after much consideration, we are turning this matter over to the courts.
It is important to note that Dr. Hammonds is not our customer. He has never bought anything from SEI directly. SEI loves its customers and anyone who deals with us knows we put customers first. If you see anyone saying anything about SEI that sheds a negative light, we ask our loyal customers to come to our defense and set the record straight. We now leave this matter up to the court. Thank you for the understanding.
Now, I am not familiar with the beef between Hammond and SEI, but seems to me that a lawsuit over internet forum ramblings will not end well for Smith.
