This is just too funny not to share. I get a call from the Savannah Business Journal which is owned by the Savannah Daily News about some sort of “lists of lists”, I tell the salesperson I hear this kind of stuff every day and am not interest. Low and behold the publisher of both Louise D. Phelps calls right afterwards. In my opinion I feel like it is a scam of some sort to extract money from my business to bye in the “book of lists”. Anyway, she ends up arguing with me and I tell her where you can stick her journal and newspaper (you can just imagine where).
I write an opinion piece on the matter and out of courtesy I let them know about it and I receive an email with a threat of libel litigation and a cease and desist letter from Ms. Phelps.
Now you would think a person such as Ms. Phelps would understand the first amendment implications of my being able to put in print or otherwise my personal opinion. Evidently not according to her email. So I shall patiently await being served for expressing my opinion and soon afterward collecting a huge damages check for her and her publication violating my civil rights. I have been there and done that a few times, so I say bring it on Louise Phelps of the Savannah Daily News and Savannah Business Journal. Perhaps you shouldn’t have called the “Most Dangerous Consumer in America”.
Follow Up: Being that Ms. Phelps initial and subsequent emails made demands and litigation threats, I will not remove my personal opinions regarding the “book of lists”. Had she emailed me and politely asked me to remove the item, I would have probably done so. However, I take great offense to idle threats and demands, therefore my opinions will remain available for public view.
