I was at the receiving end of a series of bizarre threats because I refused to remove a photograph of him from a four-year-old story about Travis Meeks of Days of the New. (It no longer fit his 'business image,' he said.) The photo was one he had wanted in the story and which was taken my a photographer in my hire, so, of course, he had no right to ask me to remove it. He not only threatened me, he threatened my photographer and actually sent around emails accusing both of us of unprofessional business practices. He has no sense of irony, either.

I have to agree with your thoughts re: holding your standards in PR. When a potential entertainment client approaches me with such an idea, I won't take it. Plain and simple. They can find another rep that will go that route. Great post. I have to agree with your thoughts re: holding your standards in PR.
