Why I am Facing Foreclosure is Back

June 8th 2007: in this post on IAFF, Casey makes veiled remarks about publishers and craziness.

Casey somewhat cagily ("I can’t go into too much details") confirms the news that R-Boy had already broken: his book publisher forced the restitution of IAFF:

Part of the agreement is I keep the blog going because that is my main marketing platform for the book. Since I pulled the plug without telling the publisher the publisher got pretty pissed off. [...] The publisher understands my personal issues but a contract is a contract.

He also notes that "I have to be careful what I say because I DO have a non-disclosure agreement signed with the publisher." Given Casey's past history with NDAs, how long will this one last?

Casey ends with yet another troll: "some CRAZY things have been happenin’ lately. I wish I could say more…"

[edit] Comments

Burnt ex-associate LossMitPro is angry and fires another shot across Casey's bows:

Really, “a contact is a contract” hmmmm? Well that’s never stopped you from breaching one before like with Countrywide, First Franklin, et al. You have a contract with me, remember; “Payback every dirty penny?” Or is this obsession you’ve got with fame and notoriety worth more than keeping your word?

A number of commenters note the increasingly content-free nature of IAFF:

You have a blog so you can document what is going in the whole foreclosure, financial, and theoretically help people. Your publisher is forcing you to keep the blog open. Then you say you have NEATO things that you can’t mention. So why am I reading this blog if you can’t write anything in it of substance?

Long-time hater Walter Sobchak asks the most pertinent question: is any of it true? "Anybody who believes today’s post, I’ve got not only a bridge, but eight really crappy properties to sell you."

Declan McCullagh makes his maiden comment on IAFF, suggesting that "the arguments you give are a bit specious":

You are effectively judgement-proof. All the opposing party can do is get in line to collect damages. They won’t be able to get an injunction against you to force you to continue the blog (it amounts to a personal service; look up “specific performance”).

Sharky gives a typically blunt summation:

Buckaroo, anyone who has a contract with YOU, by definition, has either utterly NO understanding whatsoever of your “personal issues”, or has an understanding of them so profound as to be almost frightening.

In a comment, Casey notes that his "publisher" will be making a guest post to answer some of the questions in the comments:

"My publisher was reading through the comments on this blog and decided to write a guest post for me addressing some of these points. I’m glad because the next post should fill in some of the gaps and I won’t have to worry about violating the NDA."
