Being Threatened with Lawsuit for Writing Review

I'm hoping someone has had a similar experience and can tell me if I really have anything to worry about.

A few months ago I posted a review about a product called IBSoftshop run by Joe E. Clayton. (You can see the complete review at: http://www.internet-marketing-tutor.com/ibsoftshop.html)

The review wasn't favorable, but I tried to be very factual about my experience. Now I'm being threatened with a lawsuit if I don't take the review off my website. (You can see a copy of the threatening email at the URL above.)

I really want to keep the review up, if possible, because it serves as a warning to others before they get involved with the product. In fact, several people have sent me email thanking me for the review or expressing a similar experience.

Can anyone offer me some advice?

Chris
