Here’s why you shouldn’t post to your blog when you are pissed off. Ilkka Talvi, concertmaster of the Seattle Symphony for nearly two decades until he was fired a year ago, posted on his blog site yesterday a retraction and apology for the attacks he made last month on Maria Larionoff, SSO’s acting concertmaster.
Larionoff immediately threatened Talvi with a libel suit unless he posted a “complete retraction and apology” on his blog site and pays her legal expenses.
They made a financial settlement and you can bet that it won’t be the last one a blogger ever pays.

Blogging not music to former Seattle concertmaster ears
Wish I had seen the original unedited post for this one that started the legal trouble, does anybody have a link to a cached copy somewhere? I wonder if B.L Ochman had seen it before writing her piece entitled: Why You Shouldn’t Blog When You Are Pisse…
Do you have a link to a cache of the original offending post? That seems like a critical missing part of the story here that both the PI and this blog entry omitted. Surely bloglines or somebody has that, yes/no?
Amazon.co.uk – I don’t get it?
Taking into account B.L. Ochman’s post ‘Why You Shouldn’t Blog When You Are Pissed Off’, I have tried to a couple of times to buy multiple copies of Susannah Gardner’s book ‘Buzz Marketing with Blogs for Dumm…
This reminds me of my early daze toiling in the US Gov’t, when we in HQs would have to send cabled replies to the idiots in the field who had, yet again, royally screwed something up (HQs perspective!), and needed to be told what to do.
The rule was: write your cable draft, getting everything out of your system. Then delete the first paragraph (the emotional, reactive one) and make your second paragraph (the calmer, instructive one) the lead.
That policy saved many a career, I’m sure.
