Yeah, analogy -- thanks (was running on no sleep from travel). I just don't think it fits the situation, even though I know what he was trying to say. Submitt

Yeah, analogy -- thanks (was running on no sleep from travel). I just don't think it fits the situation, even though I know what he was trying to say. Submitting proof to authority that you had done nothing wrong (as a defendant) is not the same as exacting revenge, even if the authority didn't see the initial harm. Along with the other descriptors of his ex-customer, it comes across as unprofessional.

> Submitting proof to authority that you had done nothing wrong (as a defendant) is not the same as exacting revenge, even if the authority didn't see the initial harm. Its not about revenge, it is about justice. I explained revenge is not so much about the person who experienced the initial blow, more so than potential future victims. > Along with the other descriptors of his ex-customer, it comes across as unprofessional. I understand you feel that way but I disagree. It comes across as someone who stands up for his right when put in unjust situations. A potential customer should not need to fear him, as he is normally a solid business partner, and may even work hard in your advantage (for free). He mentions he goes out of the way for his customers, and his very example even proofs this. The people who read his blog regularly supposedly know his personality better. There's a conundrum in the fact that blog posts might be written for people who are more in the know, whereas everyone in the world can read it. We see the effects of that issue more regular, this is'd merely an example of the effect (is there a name for it?). He is also not posting personal details of the plaintiff. Not enough to identify them. That is professional. Then again, I am biased. I got bullied at school, and I generally didn't end up returning physical violence. I wish I did. I'd be more mentally resilient now. Not all is lost though.
