June 15, 2005Blogging > Responding to Some of My Threatening EmailFrom autoglock > Hello, I've deleted the comment with the address, just because that's inappropriate. As far as legal action, all legal matters should be sent to my pre-paid legal counsel. I can provide his contact information if you so desire, but you are not the first person to threaten me with legal action, and the other guys who did actually had their lawyers send me written notice. Email notices are bullshit and we both know it. Also refer to my terms and conditions: http://www.lesjones.com/posts/000456.shtml Violations of these terms could cause you to be subject to penalties of one (1) million dollars. UPDATE: I added those Terms of Use after receiving a threatening letter from Russ Whitney's lawyers for this post. Deb at SugarFused linked to that post as part of a Rocky Top Brigade Tailgate Party, and she got a threatening letter as well. That was over a year ago, and Whitney's lawyers have never taken any action against me or Deb, despite their ongoing legal battles with John T. Reed. Posted by lesjonesComments
I don't get people like this. Why start with the threats when you can probibly get more mileage out of a polite request coupled with the reasons you think something is unfair/inappropriate. You can always move to threatening legal action if your initial request is rebuffed. Posted by: Dave Justus at June 15, 2005Yeah, that's been my approach when people have stolen copyrighted material. I just shoot them an email and say "that's mine, here's the original URL, please take it down" and it's always worked. Posted by: Les Jones at June 15, 2005Les - You'd think that if they were going to threaten you properly that they would at least use some legal grounds or such advanced writing skills as full, complete sentences and proper punctuation. What you need is a former POW/attorney to handle threats, as we had at NRA HQ. In those cases, they may threaten once, but they won't threaten again.
