The defense (edit: whoops, i mean plaintiff) also has to prove they lost business because of the statement, very tough to do. So I think he's safe. I think he's just having fun anyway. It wouldn't be good PR for zftr to go after anybody and I'm sure they've got bigger fish to fry.
Well, his post is actually too garbled to allow a canonical parsing but it exposed him as a trolling sockmuppet.
As regards to ziftrCOIN, hallucinating conspiracy shapes in the clouds is mildly entertaining, especially when reality is quite so prosaic:

Yes trolls suck.
Good find. Though I still don't think it's as clear cut as you make it sound even though their dev says "both independently implemented their own versions of non-outsourceable cryptopuzzles". The blog post mentions testing, I'm not sure how ziftr could have tested and come to the conclusions they found without a testing network. Either way I think it's cool and proof of knowledge sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to see how it performs in the real world. I don't think 5% bonus is enough for the small miner to offset the small variance pools offer. Anyway like I said good find. I'm looking forward to see how S2M differs from spr, maybe spr can use some of theirs and vice versa. I'd say I'm 50/50 now.
