Because it's idiotic and non-actionable. I didn't down vote him though. I say go ahead and try it, see how far you get. John Deer has lots of money, it's not like they wouldn't act to stop you. They'll sue you into oblivion and they won't even need a case with merit to drive your little startup into the ground. They'll just outspend you, not to mention they'll have consolidated supply lines that you'll need and that they will not share. The first rule of capitalism is that competition is not to be tolerated.
If someone challenges you to a fist fight, don't fist fight them. They want you to fist fight them because it gives them advantage. They've trained and prepared for fist fights their entire life. You are doing them a favor by fighting them by their rules. You have to fight them on your terms, playing your own game. Whatever your game is, that's the way you have to face them. harrass, sabotage and disrupt. Failing that, guillotines are a very fun game indeed.
taking on a business, with business is like wresting a pig. You'll both get dirty and the pig likes it.
We've cancelled people for less.
