More Threats?

FROM INMAN NEWS:
One real estate blogger, who had initially written a paid post about the company, later clashed with the company and its law firm when he wrote several follow-up posts, including one that questioned whether ePerks was a “scam or a gem.”

That blogger, Volodymyr “Vlad” Zablotskyy of Go-Beyond-MLS.com, this month announced at his blog that he received a letter from an ePerks lawyer related to the online discussion about the company.

The letter requests that Zablotskyy cease alleged “ongoing efforts to unfairly disparage and slander ePerks.com through the dissemination of false and/or manufactured information. Any resistance to our demands will be met with swift and decisive action.”

The letter refers to the “scam or a gem” blog post and other blog posts, and states that the company has determined damages “as a direct result of your activities … in multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

Behrouzi said that the company’s legal team is “considering filing a suit” against Zablotskyy “and an organization this individual is affiliated with.”

    Disqus looks good here. Yeah, must be some rogue CSS messing it up on the other blog Vlad.

    I just reinstalled plugin from the scratch again on Sage Blogger…. Now Default and Classic themes integrate nicely the Disqus comments.

    The theme that I was using has to go, or I have to play around with CSS…. I would just porbably dump the theme.

    Now I can vote for you Scott. The comment needs to be the top level, if it is response to another no voting widget.
