“Your attempt to connect the Quartet Press participants to a Ponsi scheme seems actionable. I hope you have a good attorney.”
You know, I totally love it when people give me blog fodder. It really makes my day.
Kirk Biglione took exception to my previous post, and didn’t mind saying so:
Wow. Seriously?! Bernie Madoff stole money. Lots of money. Billions. Are you seriously comparing what Madoff did to the failure of a digital publishing startup? If so, you really have no sense of decency.
As someone who was involved in the Quartet “debacle” I can say without hesitation that:
1. No laws were broken.
2. None of the participants behaved unethically.
3. No money is owed (all debts were honored).Frankly, your attempt to connect the Quartet Press participants to a Ponsi scheme seems actionable. I hope you have a good attorney.
Be still my beating heart. It’s not yet March and I’ve already been threatened with legal action, YAY!!
Angela James was doing an ok job of persuading me that the Quartet peeps weren’t complete arseholes, just misguided fools who couldn’t plan their way out of a wet paper bag and then who should come along with his massive size twelves and fuck it all up? Kirky Biglione, of course. The bloke who was one of the owners of failed digital publisher, Quartet Press.
Kassia came on and defended herself too, but she didn’t threaten to sue me, so it was all good.
Here’s my response to Kassia and Kirky:
Would it make you feel better if I compared you guys to Tiger Woods instead?
How does this title suit you? “Would You Take Relationship Advice From Tiger Woods?
Is that better for you?
Hey Kirky, Tiger didn’t do anything illegal did he? He just screwed a whole lotta people is all. Although I’m guessing the people he was screwing knew about it at the time.
What? Don’t look at me like that, I rather liked the Tiger Woods screwing people reference. 
You know it’s a special occasion when I use a smiley in a blog post. *G*
