Why did you include emails threatening to blackmail Simple AI to get more money ("wondering what a fair exit package looks like ... and what I should post on Linkedin to update my network"), then indicating that after you received $20K in payment, you "wouldn't bother" them? All of this following a him-or-me demand email.
And then making this post? It's a pattern of self-destructive behavior.
The best possible course of action at this point is deleting the blog post. Note that the separation agreement you signed prohibits you from sharing any Separation Information—including consideration (in this case the $20K figure you reference is part of the consideration). Your blog post is public evidence and even this comment I'm making right now could end up in discovery if your former employer wanted. If I were you, I would not antagonize them further.
- andytratt 2mo agoexcuse me you are accusing me in public of threatening and blackmailing someone? that's pretty serious. sounds a bit libelous or slanderous or something aggressive. throwaday0451 as you characterize me as a blackmailer, are you sure you don't mean "negotiating" or "communicating"? if so your words are injurous and damage me. do you have a lawyer i can talk to about this public defamation of my language and mischaracterizing me on Hackernews?
- andytratt 2mo agoalso are you saying i'm antagonizing someone, if so what's your evidence? i'm flagging this comment. i think it's egregiously offensive and against HN terms of service.

- andytratt 2mo agoi'll antagonize whoever i deem to antagonize because usually when i do i ask questions and then they can respond and we call that conversation. that's my preferred form of antagonism is written speech on the internet. please excuse me while i continue antagnozing you who has nothing to do with the employer in question at all whatsover and never will good luck to you sir
