She would pay far more in legal fees than she would get in return in some sort of slanderous lawsuit. Case and point: Oprah vs. Texas Cattleman...The Texas cattleman claimed that Oprah(a person with far more publicity than MBP)ruined the beef industry sales because of her disparaging remarks about beef on her show. The beef industry lost the lawsuit on the grounds that they had to PROVE that the decline in sales was because of the Oprah statement, not easy to do even in the big TV arena. If Abbie wants to pay thousands of dollars to possibly prove that she lost business due to this particular post, more power and money loss to her. She wouldn't even break even monetarily, she would be in a money pit of hell to sue MBP. MBP though a great blog with a decent following, does not generate enough publicity for there to be a case for litigation, and if it did, she would be smart to do the photo shoot and that makes her look even stupider. Either way, she is a moron. Even Oprah couldn't be held responsible for lost business for a meat company on a much larger scale. STOP with your legal action bullshit. It drives me frigging nuts. Scare tactics suck...and the anonymous retards who leave them suck even worse.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506161645223765063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003719160930212557.post-54754797174950644182009-11-19T13:10:26.340-08:002009-11-19T13:10:26.340-08:00Heather... you're a bitch.

Man. She was within her rights. Get over it.<br /><br />And she probably mentioned her myspace blog because you kept trying to sell her on free ad space on your blog, with it's "growing number of hits." Blog hits doesn't always mean cha-ching, and she must know it.<br /><br />Also - Have you checked out Abbie's facebook photo?? Even if she WAS having p.m.s., at least you got to talk to a real woman, half the chicks who read this crap probably haven't even hit puberty.<br /><br />I know this entry has turned off a LOT of your readers. You'd be wise to take it down, not only because Abbie could take legal action, but because you've offended your FOLLOWERS with your tactless post.<br /><br />Lastly, I gotta admit, this wasn't even REMOTELY Christ-like of you.

Something at that point she still thought was possible.<br /><br />I also think her walls went up when he used the word attorney. <br /><br />I just don't see the "drastic, unprovoked change in tone," that Jake describes. I think she was a total snob from the beginning. I guess it is hard to truly know someones tone in an e-mail, but that's how she seemed to me.<br /><br />She clearly thought they were going to be at the shoot in the beginning. When she realized they were not, and that she would have to come up with models, props, location, possibly hair, make up ect. and at a discounted price, I think it all started building up. And it was taking up too much of her time just going back and forth about it.<br /><br />Then when he wanted to negotiate something that she said was non-negotiable that was just the straw that broke the camels back and her true colors came out.<br /><br />Maybe she was trying to be helpful and give Jake some honest feedback that staying anonymous would mean that he will not be taken seriously by most professionals. Again, we don't know her tone of voice when she said that.<br /><br />I do agree with her that I really doubt this blog will stay anonymous. I just don't see that happening. At some point I think they will fall in love with one of the readers or one of them will tell their wife about it after they are married and she will spill the beans, or something... <br /><br />I am not a hater, just have a different opinion.

I am also surprised that people keep trying to say she was in the right. Even the anonymous above, she obviously didn't end it because she wanted to meet with him the next day. And his renegotiation you would have found so annoying was riddled with Him apologizing for being annoying and telling her he would understand if she didn't do it.<br /><br />It seems to me that she was just pissed that she couldn't know who these guys are because she is such a big deal.<br /><br />So I don't think she had any right to be annoyed...<br /><br />Even if she did though, being annoyed doesn't give her the right to be rude.<br /><br />She was being pissy.

Stop acting like other bloggers are narcissistic while you are blogging only to make others aware of the starving black babies in Africa. Good hell, do you want no one to read your blog? I say bullshit. You want everyone to read your blog and that makes you just as narcissistic as the rest of us. Your condescending comments are full of jealousy. Do you or do you not have a picture of yourself multiplied on your own blog several times? Yes you do. Pipe down on the self-righteous indignation as though Calvin and Jake are an affront to all women. We are all smart enough to know that most 20 something males are penis wrinkles and we like it that way, that is the charm of this blog. Your puritanical logic is misplaced. Stop taking this blog so seriously and try laughing at the fun these two make of themselves and even you. You are every girl they date. Only with a bad personality.
