 RE: Your demand letter dated July 22, 2008
Dear Sirs,After reviewing your demand letter I suggest you go take a refresher course onConstitutional Law. I am well within by rights under the 1st amendment of theConstitution of the United Sates of America to critic his marketing tactics any way I seefit on my personal weblog.I did change verbiage athttp://ismintraing.com to reflect that the messages sent “may be” illegal, as I have never professed to be a practitioner of law, nor wish to review case lawto Sheapardize my statements.The letter I received from your firm and the actions taken by Mr. Ziegler as a result of this blog post has caused much grief in my home, interference with my former employer and current associates inside of the industry.I can only assume based on the content of his writing in the past that he is a stubbornlylitigious individual and seeks to make examples of anyone who disagrees with his pointof view. He has placed himself in the limelight and does not warrant the same protections afforded ordinary citizens, no more than George Bush would have for bumper stickers that say “Bush Sucks”.Any further attempts by your client that may be construed as an attempt to impact myability to earn an income will be met with a tort seeking compensation for damages. Heis free to disagree with anything that I author in the appropriate setting including my ownwebsites if he will forward me a release of claim, other than that I will continue to block his access to my personal online properties.As far as your demand letter and its grave appearance with your overbearing assertionsleave me no choice but to seek representation to seek damages from your firm and eachindividual signatory to the letter for attempting to impede my rights under the firstamendment. Unless you agree to my terms.The footnote on page one really shows your ignorance of the situation at hand. The firstsentence says that ADM (Automotive Digital Marketing), which you incorrectlyidentified, is not a social network and the second describes exactly what a social network is, where people come together with a common bond to share ideas, problems andexperiences in an online setting. There are terms of service in place at that network that prevent the very behavior your client or his employees displayed.
 
Any further contact from your office, other than Mr. Ziegler’s release of claims, will beconstrued as harassment on your part and Mr Ziegler. Any contact barring that, I willseek every remedy possible against Mr. Ziegler, Richard N Sox, W. Douglas Moody andthe firm Myers & Fuller, P.A.In very plain English so there is no doubt in my voracity regarding this issue please allowme to bullet point my standing on this matter.
I will not remove that post or any other comment I have made regarding it. It ismy right under the 1
st
amendment to express my opinion. Soldiers are dyingevery day to maintain that right for the citizenry. I too have also proudly served.
Your letter was an attempt to impede these rights and I have published it for others in the online community to see. It displays your ignorance of socialnetworking; however I will not call that out to those that read it. They can maketheir own decisions and inferences. As you do not proclaim to be an authority onthe issue. I will not unpublish it. You only gave unilateral confidentiality I cannot be held to an agreement I did not enter in. It also would appear with thatstatement that I am not under the liberty to seek legal counsel, based on your  posturing. I do hope contact law is not one of your specialties. Your denigratingtone in this letter to me is actually quite amusing. It did not garner the reply youwere expecting and you are to blame for my now harsh stance.
Any and all communication from your firm will be published in the same manner including any court papers. As they are in the public domain, I will just make iteasier for people to find, including references if needed.
I am willing to drop my claims for a mutual release with all parties concerned. Toinclude those that signed the communication referenced and your firm. I will notentertain any agreement that requires me to remove anything that I have publishedin my personal space or otherwise. The only option to have the contents removedfrom http://ismintraining.comwould be for someone to buy the site, or with the aid of the courts. I would not even consider entertaining an offer under $100,000.00. (one hundred thousand dollars) The only way for Mr. Zeigler toaccess my content is for this release to be executed.
You make the statement in your letter “Notably, your employer has alreadyabjectly renounced, rejected and apologized to Mr. Ziegler for the scandalousclaims you published….” How it was presented to me by my direct supervisor was along the lines of “Carl Says “Jim Ziegler has made a fortune
fucking
peoplefor forty years.” Albeit not an exact quote of the entire conversation but thatstatement rang very clear. I could not possibly diminish his stature.
Thankfully for you, I am above average in intelligence and know exactly which posting you were referring too without you clearly stating as such. ApparentlyMr. Thomas, whom I do not know, removed his posting from ADM and iteffectively removed my replies to it. Next time you send out a lawyer bully letter you need to identify specifically what actions you are objecting too and cite thecorrect sources.
