So if the award was capped at something reasonable to you, let's say, $100,000...I could go ahead and slander Eastern Shore Toyota, so long as the damage I did to them was greater than $100,000 in lost sales.
Are you starting to see the problem with that?
Punitive damages are the only kind of damages that businesses understand. I'll bet you that the idiots who slandered the honest businessman won't do it again.
