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 834 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by T_Bone on 08-Apr-2004 19:24 GMT | I think the problem here is, everybody knows Bill Buck is a loose cannon, and they treat him with kid gloves, and expect everyone else too as well. Someone needs to smake him and tell him to settle down. Let Bill Buck wear the kid gloves for once, and start treating others with those gloves he's used to being held with.
I'm guilty of this myself, I don't know how many times I've had to say "Well, he is the way he is..." when I've been talking about Bill or Fleecy and then someone counters with something said by Buck. We're treating him like a kid who doesn't know any better, and the blame goes to those who "should know better" rather than Buck himself for his OWN actions.
This needs to change, because there will be other Christian Kemps, there will be other Theo's, there will be other (etc etc) and the common factor in all these is Bill Buck. How is this continued behavior going to affect genesi in the long run, much less the short one? |
