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 363 of 1057 | ANN.lu |

Because he said nothing, for Christ's sake! I want to know - I have the right to, at this point! - exactly what happened. I want to know the exact names of the personalities involved. I want to know that from him and no one else, if he wants me to give him any credit.

Because there are no *details* put in!

It's not my job to do any guesses, if he wants to me to give him support, he's got to be honest with me and tell me everything I need to know. I need to know who's involved in this issue, and I need to know the whole story. I don't have to do any guesses, it's his job to make names, not mine to make guesses. At making guesses one can also get it wrong, didn't you know? Then in the end he could say "well, I've never stated what you guessed", and then in the end the fault will be mine.
Before judging anything, I need to know all I have to know in order to make a judgment. SPECIALLY when it's something SO big.

Provided that he says the truth, there's nothing illegal in that. I can stake everything on that, I fucking know what I'm talking about, unlike you.

In the meantime, he's caused lots of trobles to Genesi with this thread, with people that now are willing to boycott the company. Other fuel on the fire, a fire that has been lit under Christian's feet.
Only a dumb wouldn't see that.

Sure? Tell me where. COME ON!

_what_ accusation should I substantiate?! |
