Some businesses are suing bloggers for writing mean things about them.
Here is a free tip to such businesses: If you run an ethical operation, where you take pride in good customer service, you probably have little to fear from bloggers.
But if you run the sort of bottom-feeding, scum-sucking business that routinely has your customers filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau or the state attorney general's consumer protection office, then yes, you can pretty much count on that some blogger is going to mention you in a very unflattering post. Depending on who you piss off, it could go viral. It could be one of the top hits on a Google search of your business.
And if you sue a blogger, word of that will get out and that go viral.
If your business model is to treat people like shit and hope that word-of-mouth is slow to spread, the Internet, between bloggers, facebookers and tweeters, is going to play hob with that.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
I read the story and I think the company in question has made a strategic error. The kid can prove he had a valid permit. The company has a failing grade from the BBB with regard to its towing practices and resolution of complaints. These are provable facts; the assertion that the permit "was not clearly visible" is more of an opinion.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, if you sue someone for libel, they're liable to prove it.
Having caught hold of the tiger, they're scared to let it go. I think they got some bad legal advice from the get-go.
Fucking douchebags deserve to be publicly humiliated for shady fucking business practices.
ReplyDeleteI see a trend lately of people wanting to shut up the Blogosphere, that tells me we are doing something right.
Skags.
What part of the first amendment do you not understand and why do you think it is the very first thing our founders considered?
