@Nick I agree.

Won’t be the first time someone would be held accountable for their sarcasm though.

Best/worst part about this story? This quote from their lawyer in the story: “We’re a sue first, ask questions later kind of an organization”

Who says something like that? And who would ever do business with them again if he’s serious?

Isn’t the job of a company to get more customers? Not less?
The way to get more customers is to be attractive, some companies are making themselves look very ugly.

Well, if I were horizon, I would have contacted Bonnen and apologized if there was mold. And if horizon had in fact been defamed at all by the tweet, then they should have issued a statement through the press that was honest, saying that they will fix the problem.

People have the right to express their opinions about companies, public or not. Especially if it was true, which I believe it was. Why else would Horizon get on the defensive so fast?

Horizon looks even worse by the way they are handling all this.

I personally think what she did is fine and what grounds does Horizon have to sue?

We are such a sue happy society.

Take out the frivolous lawsuits in America and we would have affordable health care, cheaper prices etc.

although…we would end up with a ton of really educated janitors!

The Freedom of Speech Act should protect her and if there is any truth to the moldy appartment, etc… she should counter sue for the company’s lack of health code compliance. I know what you are all thinking, I should have been an attorney….booyah

Um, Matt@The Church of No People – are you implying that the music industry has changed? They just went back to trial against single mother Jammie Thomas and got the jury to award them $1.92 million, or $80,000 per song she allegedly shared. And now they’re pushing for legislation in many countries that will have your Internet cut off if you’re even *accused* of sharing files. They’re still living in that era. And, shockingly, their sales numbers keep going down.

Typical faceless company cannibalizing their own customers. It’s like they have the same PR advisors as the music industry (Napster era).
