I am currently being threatened by my former employer (they are "compelled [to] take action against [me]") for the way I am running ANN, and how this allegedly violates my employment contract with them ("interfere _in any manner_ with any business relationship between the Company and any of its customers or business partners"). This might entail drastic changes to the relative freedom of speech ANN has always allowed its visitors, or ANN might close down altogether. Updated 10:00 CET.

Legal threats? : Comment 320 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 06-Apr-2004 17:15 GMT | In reply to Comment 273 (Amon_Re): > He worded it like that to protect himself
That is very convincing - not. The first forty messages of this thread a bizarre. "Wo was it? Fleecy?" "Try again". What's wrong with saying "bbrv has threatened legal action against ann because he thinks we don't behave?" Wouldn't have gotten him into hot waters, would it? And, let's face it, ann is full of threads that insult, degrade, lie, distort and backstab. It actually makes sense to take action against ann: If I was responsible for Hyperion, Amiga Inc. or Genesi, I would have exploded long ago. At some point, it starts to be the site owner's fault if he doesn't reign in the usual suspects (includes you, by the way). Christian tolerates threads that accuse companies of fraud, theft, mafia connections, cheque fraud, customer fraud, credit card fraud, law evasion, even support for shoe bombers. On a ritualistic basis, rather off-handedly, and often without the slightest bit of evidence or proof: The favourite way to start a diatribe these days is "I can only speculate that". Company people are addressed as "frauds", "scumbags" and other niceties. No serious company on this world can tolerate such a site. Warning shot, then sue. Seems to be happening. I speculate (grin) that what causes bbrv's cup to overflow is that the site's owner has started to participate. |
