    Thanks! I just got tired of convincing customers that I am "safe" to work with

    You're going to have to get used to it. Your right to build your business is not superior to his right to protect his. Nor is his right superior to yours. You both have the right to compete for the customers equally.

    Even if your ex-employer does have a con-compete with you, he would barely have recourse on which to sue the customers you are approaching. The customers are free to choose whoever they want to do business with (provided it's nothing illegal) irrespective of any type of agreement, potential or ongoing litigation, you have, or might have had, with the ex-employer. You can tell that to your customers.

    Sure. If you believe in an old testament derived logic of balance.
    Or you could call it celestial business justice.
    Both equally asinine.
    So you're saying that 1. OP can compete with his former employer for said former employer's customers, and 2. OP's former employer cannot compete with OP to retain said former employer's customers?

    Not at all.
    OP claims ex-employer threatened customers with legal action if they engaged with OP. Ex-employer never threatened OP with legal action.
    The point here is that customers have nothing to worry about as far as legal claims by the ex-employer against them. OP claims ex-employer is trying to scare customers into avoiding OP via threats of legal prosecution against customers, not OP. In other words, whether ex-employer goes after OP is irrelevant as far as the customers are concerned.
