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 358 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Fabio Alemagna on 06-Apr-2004 18:30 GMT | In reply to Comment 352 (Bill Hoggett): > It's only slander if it's a lie.
Ok, so you won't mind if I say you're a bastard scumbag full of shit, right?
> As for your other demand for an apology, you can wait until the cows come

Good, guess that means you can prove that I am in any way loyal to bbrv, and that this loyalty comes from the fact that he gave a peg to the AROS team.
Come on, show the proof. Be a man, Bill.
> I've never been bothered about what others think of my credibility and
> I'm not about to now.
Oh, it really shows.
> I don't know your exact reason, but you ARE defending Bill Buck's actions and

If you think that, then you REALLY have got problems. I'am NOT defending him. There's a BIG difference between defending someone and attacking someone else.
Bill, perhaps you didn't notice, but I am against both parties in this issue. I am taking no side, because all sides have their illnesses, this whole community is ill.
You show no respect for honesty, you want to jump to conclusions even before you know anything.
> is it right for Buck to threaten ANN with legal action citing

I DO NOT NEED to restate what I've already stated more than twice. Do your damn homework before jumping to conclusions. READ what one writes, before criticising him. TRY, at least, to intertain an honest discussion.
> If yes, was it right that the same Buck who now threatens legal action used
> (abused?) this same forum to throw insults at rival companies and individuals,
> not to mention make accusations against rival companies and their products?
If Buck has insulted rival companies on his own will (that is not in responce to other, direct, insults), then that's wrong regardless of whether he's wrong now too. The fact you put the two things in relation, as if one depended on the other one, amazes me.
> Stop mincing words and playing games.
I AM NOT PLAYING ANY F***ing game, for Christ's sake, and not mincing any words! I'm just making points that the lot of you can't even grasp! Luckily someone could, which proves, if anything, that I've not gone crazy.
> Why don't you come right out and accuse Christian of lying, because that's
> what you've been implying all along.
See? You put words into my mouth. I've not implied anything that I've not explicitely written. The fact you want by force to pretend I'm implying something just means that you want to believe things are like you say they are, but you have no damn proof.
All I want is Christian making names and telling the whole story, before I give him any credibility. Is that too much of a request? |
