Many people will tell you to not allow your company to get involved in a political debate and that advice might be best due to the possible alienation of potential future customers. I do note the Public Companies do not get involved with political debate. Which makes sense, as they also have to worry about upsetting shareholders as well as future and current customers. Indeed those who attempt to influence public opinion will often launch a negative campaign against a brand name using extortion type media techniques.

But what if you feel strongly about an issue and what if you are not a public company. Additionally what if you own 100% of the company. And what if you are so vehemently committed to a cause, which has become political that you refuse to throw away ideals and truth for money. Ever been there before? I have, I know what I did, what did you do? Did you cave in and allow your belief system to be trampled on, but the lure of money? What exactly would be the difference between you and a street whore in that case? Seriously what is the difference you spineless wimp? I think you ought to stand for more in your life.

Our company owned by me, yes 100% with no one to answer for was attacked by a group, which would not yield to the truth. I told them point blank that if you continue to attack my brand name, call to question my personal character or try to attempt to attack our market share through extortion tactics then I would follow the Carl von Clauswitz scenarios. And they continued to attack and I made good on my promise. At first I called their bluff and said; if indeed I do feel your group a real threat, then I will move to pre-empt.

This group attempted to use attacks and tactics of "pocket book" attack trying to turn customers against us, as well as franchise team partners. The united our group and their mission backfired on them. They attempted to use laws and then Corporate Brand name attacks, but it simply did not work.

No group can ever attack our team this way, as I have effectively learned how to deal with those in my chess game. This group met a man who was upset with lies and abuses of law from this group and will tell the truth on the highest hill and shout it if necessary. I warned the group that they need to clean their own house and that the writing was on their wall. I doubt anyone ever challenged them in this way, they were so confident in their demands they figured I would roll over like you may have or like a street whore does.

Oh, which group you ask? Well, it was the homosexual fringe of the Gay and Lesbian Community. I had just about enough of their crap and told them so having gay friends who backed me up. Moral of the story, do not allow extortionists to tell you that what you see and observe is not so and that you must succumb to some bizarre created reality of a minority fringe within a larger minority group. Tell them where to stick it and to leave you out of it. Fight back and do not take extortion tactics lying down. To hell with the liars, street whores and scum of the Earth who would throw away what they stand for a possible additional dollar using some hypocritical attack from the lunatic fringe. Stand tall, in the end you will prevail. I did. Think about it.
