Exodus (last post)

I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out of the Exodus discussion. Their
corportate lawyer sent a note to me (with copy to my company's legal
counsel) that he found my "numerous notes" to be "offensive and harassing".

As far as I know, this is my SECOND posting to a public forum with
respect to my dealings with Exodus. I'm not sure how that qualifies
as numerous, nor do I understand how my initial note could be construed
as offensive or harassing.

I guess if you're an Exodus customer you're simply not supposed to tell
anyone if you've gotten poor service or if you've gotten spammed.

So rather than create work for their insufficiently utilizized legal
counsel, I'll just let it drop.

If anyone would like to discuss this with me offline, please feel
free to drop me a line. As far as I know, you can't be harangued
by a lawyer for talking to folks in private. *shrug*

Simply amazing. I thought I'd seen it all....

Heh. Point him to the Bill of Rights. :stuck_out_tongue:

Alas, the Bill of Rights only protects us from the government, not our
employers.

IANAL, but if they can prove anything he asserted as factual is not true -
and he knew that when he posted - can't they sue him in civil court? Or
something like that?

Of course, that's pretty hard to prove, but hey, OJ got off. :slight_smile:

TTFN,

Doesn't apply, unfortunately, but that's another topic.

Quite possibly.

However, everything that Chris said re: Exodus is 100% true, AFAIK. I'll
gladly attest to that. So, the point is moot.

Yeah, I know, that was a slightly tongue-in-cheek remark.

It was hardly offensive, and I don't think it qualified as harrassment
either.

It is, isn't it? It's a sad state that the internet as a whole has fallen
into.

Remember collaboration?

So they find it offensive and harassing...what are they going to do about
it? Last I heard, it's not a crime to be offensive in print media. As for
harassing, they'd have a real devil of a time convincing a judge of that.
Simple scare tactic..."Do what we want or our bogeyman lawyers will get
you!". You oughta tell 'em to stop reading it if it bothers them.

Says a lot about Exodus, IMO.

Spammers should be investigated by Ken Starr!
