A while back, a company reached out to me for a business opportunity. They
wanted me to promote their products in my videos, which I do not make, but we
still thought there was something there, so we kept talking. An agreement was
made, and a deal was quite nearly finalized with a steak dinner. I’m a
vegetarian, so I lamented how that affected my mental health. The company
didn’t like that, so they pulled out of the deal, and I thought that was the
end of it. It’s come back to haunt me today. Now they’ve taken it a step
further, and sent me a cease and desist letter. They’re threatening to take
legal action unless I remove the posts that mention the issue, and release a
public apology. Honestly—and I recognize that saying this might only make
things worse—but they’re total morons. I have yet to tell you which company
this is, and I will continue to keep that a secret unless they leave me no
choice. If I apologize publicly, you will necessarily find out who they are.
Now, you might end up on their side because of that, but something tells me
that you’re going to continue to side with the lone blogger who was only
exercising his freedom of speech over a corporation with an amount of money
that I can’t even ballpark, because it would narrow down your list of
suspects, which I don’t want you to be able to do. But obviously we’re not
talking about some local family run shop with only one location. People tend
to not like corporate executives for being the biggest whiny babies in a world
that gives them everything they need and want. I don’t think that this will
end well for them, which is why I’m doing everything I can to help them move
past it. I’m trying to keep things civil, private and confidential, and
productive, but I think they’ve just seen how popular I’ve grown to be, and
they want in on that action. I guess they think that I’m a millionaire by now,
or something. I assure you, I’m not there yet. I may never be, as I’m a
blogger, not a movie star. I’m not too worried about where this little legal
issue is going to go. They’ll back down when they realize that even if they
win, they lose. Their reputation is so much more important than mine is. I can
fall into obscurity if I have to. I could live naked in the middle of the
woods with nothing, and still survive. A company can’t do that. So come at me,
bro.
