![]() "ChuckSlusarczyk" wrote in message ... In article , Badwater Bill says... I'm not so sure that the publicity Chuck gets from some maniacal rant is all harmful. I think most people who really know what's going on, understand the rift and take it for what it's worth. As for those who don't know beans about Zoom or Chuck, I really think that the press, even though negative possibly helps Chuck because it keeps his company's name in circulation. Frankly Bill if I had my druthers I would rather that 9 years ago zoom just would have left me alone.I'm capable of generating my own press that isn't harmful and have done enough legitimate things in this business to earn press space. I've accomplished things that are verifiable and not embellished, unlike most of zooms record. Negative publicity might work for politicians and movie stars but it don't work for guys like me I don't like it and it cost me plenty.But he dealt the cards and I'm stuck with it. Yes, I know this is a strange thing to say to some of you, but I have friends who feel that any press, negative press included can be a benefit. Maybe they're movie stars or politicians, they can have it. I'm not trying to open a debate over this, I'm just speculating a bit, and I'm not sure what the real outcome is. I think the real outcome will come when zoom finally gets 2 nickles to rub together and has something of value ,then I'll probably sue him for all this crap and take it away . But at the rate he's going it will be a long time.That may be the only way it will stop. Until then every time he lies or twists the truth he will be exposed for doing it. Usually defamation (libel, slander) lawsuits have short statutes of limitations, meaning you have to file your lawsuit shortly after the defamation is published. On a couple of other issues here, I don't agree with the proposition that the only thing worse than bad publicity is no publicity at all. That is a weasel statement made by a weasel who doesn't understand the agony or damage caused by defamation, or that good name and reputation are the immediate jewels of one's soul. It is true too that most people in the homebuilder community know that Campbell is a rather nasty little narcissist, but the young and impressionable who come along fresh and naive must constantly be reminded that while he may be articulate, he's also got big credibility problems. On the other hand if he exposes REAL crooks, which sometimes he HAS done, he contributes a service. So he has a history of blasting advertisers who decline to renew their ads. You take him and his shills with a grain of salz. |
