Write a letter on your web page saying what you want to about the situation and
leave it at that. Reading Further into this, its a fight that should be between
other parties and you have been caught in the middle just a bit.

I think you should just state your position on your web site and leave it at
that. Cause if it goes any further its a matter of choosing sides, which allot
of people here would not really want to do, since I think we all like the guys
involved.
