Xatrix.org threathened with lawsuit
Are wealthy people above common decency or does it just happen to us?
Recently a law firm named Schillings, and their employee Chris Scott, acting on the behalf of their clients Matthew Mellon and Adrian Kirby, sent us an e-mail, demanding we take this article down, publish an apology and consent to pay a yet undisclosed sum of money as an compensation for the allegedly defamatory writing. If we refused, or didn't answer, they would suggest their clients to issue legal proceedings against us.
We wrote the article in good faith, thinking that people visiting our site would find it interesting. Before writing it, we read it over and over again on various sites, which should be substantial and truthful sources. We wrote the article in a fun way, not even saying all the nasty stuff some other sites did, staying on the positive side of good taste.
Even though we think our article was OK, and nothing to fuss about, we would have taken it down, if we were only asked politely. But, the wealthy Mellon and Kirby obviously thought they needn't act as average people, so instead they've, through their attorneys, tried to scare us. And that is something we deeply hate. We are people writing for people, our service is free to all, and the littlest thing a person should do is to first ask nicely.
