Quote of the day

A property management firm in Chicago decided to sue one of its tenants for a Twitter post that spoke ill of the company.  The company, Horizon Group Management, says that the tenant sent the message maliciously and filed suit asking for $50,000 in damages.

Asked about the suit by the Chicago Sun-Times, Horizon owner Jeffrey Michael noted:

"We're a sue first, ask questions later kind of an organization."  Yee-haw!

Ok, I added the Yee-haw part.  And I don't think he was riding a horse when he was talking to the reporter.

But anyway, I guess that didn't go over so well because the company went on to issue a news release yesterday "apologizing for tongue in cheek comments that were made previously regarding our approach to litigation".

Phew.  But they're still litigating.
