Whirlpool Forum Lawsuit Scandal Explodes, 2Clix Claim Lawsuit Withdrawal
By Nathan Statz
September 19, 2007: Accounting software provider, 2Clix informed Australian broadband forum, Whirlpool last Friday that they intend to drop the lawsuit regarding negative forum comments made about the company’s products. 2Clix has still yet to actually withdraw the lawsuit and media coverage of the withdrawal has lashed out at Whirlpool’s donation feature.
The lawsuit 2Clix has informally claimed to have dropped is against Simon Wright, the owner of Whirlpool, for lost sales resulting from negative feedback in two online forum threads. The company lodged a statement of claim with the Queensland Supreme Court for $150,000 in damages resulting from lost revenue, and to have the forum threads “2Clix or not 2Clix?” and “Anyone used 2Clix?” permanently removed from the website.
“We issued the withdrawal from the matter late last week, it was delivered to Whirlpool in snail mail and electronic mail form” said David Morgan, General Manager of 2Clix Australia...........................................................................http://www.idm.net.au/story.asp?id=8831
“The moral of the story here is that lawsuits are a short sighted and self destructive way of dealing with criticism”.
