Apparently, the idea of sending shady/invalid cease-and-desist letters didn’t grow on the minds of a few people who don’t quite understand English – it looks like the principle of trying to shut up journalists and bloggers seems to be pretty wide-spread.
A company called MobiTV sent a cease-and-desist letter to Howard Chui of HowardForums – and got fillips from literally hundreds of analysts.
If there’s one advice that you I beg you to take from me: never attack an analyst unless you are 100% sure you can take him down quickly and without anyone noticing. If you cannot get the guy offline immediately and for good(which is highly unlikely), rest assured that you’ll receive massive flak from the community.
Instead, get in touch with the guy and see what can be worked out. Most(all) of us are reasonable fellows who usually don’t want to fu** anyone over – miscommunications can happen and can usually be cleared out cheaply and easily…

Perhaps you should leave profanity out of your titles. You appropriately censored a profane word in your write-up, but then leave a profanity in large, bold letters at the top. I have appreciated your insightful analysis thus far, and I believe profanity only detracts from the good job you have been doing.
I concur with the previous post. If you want to give advice about MobiTV’s PR mess, don’t start one of your own by offending readers!
Hello,
it has already been censored – sorry for the slip-through!
Best regards
