Today, 6 months on from Dave Walker’s announcement of his Cease and Desist letter from J Mark Brewer, we mourn Dave’s silence; but whilst that silence may be golden to J Mark Brewer and his cronies, our eyes still see.
It was fun to shop at the SPCK ... until J Mark and Philip W Brewer wrecked it.
Here’s how Dave told what happened, courtesy of Stephen at Cease and Desist:

‘Cease and desist’ demand from Mark Brewer
This morning I was sent a ‘cease and desist’ demand from Mark Brewer relating to the posts I have made about the former SPCK bookshops. The demand says ‘Confidential – not to be redistributed or posted’, so I am not posting the text.The demand says that if I do not remove all SSG-related material by noon today, July 22, 2008, an injunction will be sought against me and legal action taken for damages for libel.
I have therefore removed all of the SPCK/SSG posts on this blog, as, although I believe I have not done anything wrong I do not have the money to face a legal battle. The removal of these posts is in no way an admission of guilt.
To say I am not happy about the decision I have been forced to take here is an understatement. I feel as if I have let many people down who have relied on this site over the last year or more.
I am not allowing comments on this post, though I can be contacted as usual. I cannot of course stop you writing about this elsewhere.
And we did.

SPCK/SSG: News, Notes & Info 
And thanks to the terrible treatment of Dave Walker, even more people are talking and therefore even more people know about the situation – strength in numbers and all that. Now we have to hope for even more action – actions speak louder than words and all that – and for those with fears and doubts, including some big organisations, to forget the golden silence and join in the call for justice. A few strategic actions by a few people with more strength than they perhaps realise, and right on their side, could bring this all to a speedier conclusion.
