do we dare see no comments from nobody's lawyers to be a positive thing?

[wannaBe1974]

on all press artacles/news progs it has been said that "lawyers were not available for comment". Why not?

taken them by surprise? or planning something savage?

i think possibly they thought we'd lie down and take it. They're stunned.

can't help wondering if it's the calm before the storm.

If I were a nobody I'd be really rather embarrassed by all the fuss I'd made...

Unless you were a nobody with a book to promote?

I'd also be quite concerned, if I were a nobody, that I might be outed as somewhat of a hypocrit having been known to come on here and throw my weight around.

Has nobody got a book coming out then?

update here

yes nobody has a new book! wonderful publicity for her.

I was wondering that too Wannabee - kerching ££ to the lawyers in the meantime ....

promote to who? same people you are fighting? No Sale.

and Nobody's lawyers are leafing thru old cases (precedent??) to find examples of where discussing stuff before court was deemed unlawful then they will hit mn with that too.

but they say that any publicity is good publicity. Regardless of what we think on here, there are people who will go out and buy the book to see what all the fuss is about, the same as people go and watch contravercial films/buy contravercial computer games etc. For some, their morbid curiosity gets the better of them. Some won't buy her books, but there are some who ordinarily wouldn't have bothered that will

I suspect that they don't have instructions to say anything.

Tbh I think people are more likely to come on mn to see what all the fuss is about rather than go out and buy a book.

no comment = trying not to fan the flames. A reaction can keep the story running into a second day. But then, any further action from her team in future would start the coverage all over again. If I happened to be her PR, I'd tell her to leave well alone and go and do something else instead.

buggar it ...when MNHQ asked us to refrain from discussing ....they really meant it (seen a couple of posts form Tech about this) even when we use other words instead of the 'real one' IYKWIM ...no mention of people or their motivations/actions etc

Opps, sorry for posting a naughty post
