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 889 of 1057 | ANN.lu |

Because there shouldn't be a two way stone throwing match. Genesi didn't PAY him. Expect him to throw a stone, it was warranted! Why would it get responded to? Why should Genesi throw a stone back? As far as I'm concerned genesi should've flinched and said "Ok, we understand" as they felt the stone hit them and went about their business.
Sure he mentioned he didn't get paid. It was no big deal as far as PR goes, we heard NONE of you were getting paid, we heard Wayne silently left, Chris left, etc etc, and we expect to hear things from them about it, and it's something we've all heard before and have been dealing with for years, no shocker. What we didn't expect to see is threats after the fact.
Hell, it's amazing that anything Chris has said could even be considered big, he's pretty much talked in whispers and even the people responding to his moobunny posts where he talked about it commented on how CIVIL he was being about it. He's no Bolton Peck!
What could have been viewed by the public as an oversight due to regrettable circumstances that will be dealt with in good faith when possible, has turned into what looks like to the public as a black malicious action to shut up someone Genesi screwed.
What is it that Genesi threatened for? because people know Chris wasn't paid? Big deal. Wouldn't stop me from buying a Pegasos. Maybe I don't have all the information, I don't know, but it seems like if there was a tidbit that puts genesi in a better light, it would be made public to clear it up, although if Genesi backed off, that would achieve the same in my eyes. |
