When Publicists Attack

Gawker.com, a New York-based website that focuses on media news and gossip, has posted the contents of an email exchange between Ronn Torossian of 5W Public Relations and Richard Rubenstein, the son of PR crisis management guru Howard J. Rubenstein. The email exchange includes some general name-calling, with Torossian threatening to go to "war" over his complaint that Rubenstein is trying to recruit from his employees. Rubenstein responds by threatening to sue, adding, "I hope you have a qualified attorney and it will be expensive." Torossian counters by promising to hire Rubenstein and his brother after he destroys their company. The exchange prompted scorn from gossip columnist Ian Spiegelman: "Lawsuit? Bosh! There isn't one among the three of those Special Olympians who could withstand even twenty minutes of discovery."

Know what amazes me? We all know that e-mails are NEVER really private, yet we still incriminate ourselves. I probably would have a heart attack if some of my private e-mails were made public. I don't mean my bad temper rants. Secretly, I almost want them to come out. As vicious as many are, I stand behind the sentiments even as I fess up some are way over the line. (I wish Mike Huckabee could hear what I say about him.) But there is other stuff that I think geez, how crazy am I to say this via e-mail knowing there is a chance, however remote, it could be intercepted. I know I am not alone. So why do people keep doing it?????

Perhaps you are more interested on how crisis communications really works.
