I Don’t Want To Use Your Da** Printer!!!

by Mark on May 27th, 2008

Your printer has screwed up my works in the past and was not amenable to discussion about it. Your printer cost me money and reputation by their actions when they screwed up my works with their mistakes. I don’t want to use them! This is the US of A and I have the right to choose who I want to print my books! Who the he** are you to tell me I am required to use the printer you’ve chosen?

****************************************

Through the years you and I had developed a business relationship. You provided a web site that allowed me to post my books for sale for a fee to be paid to you. Understandable. You offered me reasonable incentives to use your web site services and I agreed because it kept the relationship working responsibly. I was able to choose who I used to print my books and everything moved along merrily for both of us. I made money, you made money. A wonderful business deal. A freedom gained for both of us by others who had the insight and fortitude to stand up for the rights of human beings.

You made enough money that you thought it was a good idea to invest in a printer. I’m sure you did your due diligence prior to making this purchase but unfortunately you must have missed something because you purchased the very same printer who cost me money and reputation years ago by their screw ups. Oh well, it’s your money, shouldn’t affect me one way or another…

All is well for a time, nothing really changes (at least publicly or visually). I make money, you make money. We’re still both happy. But;

Behind the scenes, out of the range of my inquisitive mind and eyes, you begin planning something that will affect me! Only now you do it with a monopolistic, corporate mindset. Surely you don’t give me a hint that my livelihood is about to change - for the worse if I dislike your proposal. You sit at board meetings and discuss this plan among yourselves deciding that this is a way for the company to make more money and you leave me out of it.

The printer you bought out, the printer who has a bad reputation for quality control and damaging my works along with the works of others, is in a position where you see an opportunity. Well heck, this is America right? Capitalism at its finest eh? You have a right to make more money! Absolutely!

Yet, as in so many millions of relationships that end poorly, you neglect the respect and consideration I’ve earned to have you at least communicate your plans with me. You move ahead with only your best interests at heart and decide that I can be replaced or that I’ll cave in to your demands. Because I’ll have no choice…

Sorry, I do have a choice! Still. It may be fading in the shadow of a lawless administration or it might just be flourishing on the wings of the Internet for now, but I have it! I can tell folks across the globe of your pitiful and greedy actions or non-actions. I can bring suit against you in what is still a semblance of what our forefathers created despite all the external and internal efforts to bring it down. I believe I’m right and you’re wrong. I believe you’ve violated the rights our sons and grandsons and great grandsons fought and died for. And I’m not letting go!
