Re: FreedomScientific, Inc. Asked to Cease Lawsuit Against Serotek Corporation

Jeff,
The problem, from a consumer perspective, is the money that Freedom Scientific, rightly or wrongly, believes that they have lost and is seeking in damages from Serotech, which they may then invest in further development of their product.
If nothing else, the damages will make investors happy and allow for more ROI to hopefully be directed toward development.

Might I suggest Bruce that you wait to hear Serotek's position on this?
Also, all we are asking is that they not persue this and focus money on
working on their product. There is nothing wrong with that from a consumer 
perspective.

But I strongly suggest that there is public expression of same, which is why 
I have called you on it. Even the domain name, saveserotek.org, is very
leading. the grounds for my accusation are sound, and since you are putting forth these leading petitions and so forth publicly, they are open to public 
criticism from those of us who believe they should be publicly criticized.
You claim to be an accessibility evangelist. Then be prepared for the same
type of scrutiny any other evangelist needs to be prepared for as through
life they evangelize along.

Hello Bruce,

We do not censor comments on our petition.  Sorry.  That would not be
appropriate.  People who sign the petition are free to say anything
they like, so long as it does not contain any abusive language or
otherwise anything that a reasonable person would not consider "family

safe".


As we are sentient human beings, we have opinions, some of which we
have publicly posted from time to time.  We have encouraged everyone
to do their research and, only if they agree with the petition, then
sign it.  The petition statement also does not express any opinion
other than that the authors believe Freedom Scientific should stop the
lawsuit.  Period.  End of story.

On a more personal note, Bruce, I feel it is unfair for you or anyone
else to attach impure motives to this effort when there is no such
intent or public demonstration of same.

Except that many implications are being made, and you are allowing
them to be made unchecked. It is clear, just from looking through the
signatures so far, that people are under the impression that Freedom
Scientific is trying to shut down Serotek. Neither you nor Jeff has
done anything to dispel this misconception because, I submit, it fuels
anger and makes people more likely to support your petition. This, I
also submit, is very irresponsible of you, and is already enough to
discredit the petition, which I will never sign. Freedom Scientific
maintains, and I see no reason to doubt them, that they have looked
for an out-of-court agreement for years, and that Serotek has refused
to cooperate. All Freedom wants is for Serotek to change the name of
the product, they do not wish the product to be eliminated. By not
making this clear and not only allowing but encouraging the
misconception (don't try to tell me that saveserotek.org isn't
misleading in this respect) you and Jeff discredit both yourselves and
any other Access-technology enterprises you claim to represent, even
if you try to distance your blogs and your petition from those other

endeavors.
