since a lot of people only check bookmarks, you should know that our admin, lowtax, has been credibly accused of abusing his partner. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3928980 please do what you believe to be ethical.

The story has changed however to "No I dind't get hit.. I slipped and fell because I had sweaty feet because I am bi-polar and my gram gram died" so it probably didn't' happen.

It doesn’t literally get measured on the scales of justice with other evidence. “Oh that testimony is 25.7 grams of evidence, but this document is 29 grams.” watched an attorney win a DV case for defendant because he successfully argued that the carpet in the house the defendant allegedly used to suffocate the woman wasn't thick enough to suffocate someone

wikipedia says basically even if you didn't make the forgery, if you pass off the forgery knowing it's a forgery, that's uttering. Nevermind that the word 'uttering' in normal English just means to say something out loud. Legal vocabulary is a different language.

Compare normal English release which has both the "let go/let out" and "publish" senses.

Read the forum announcement on the top of every sub-forum right now (https://forums.somethingawful.com/announcement.php?forumid=1). The mods are in contact with Logan, and she absolutely was hit by Lowtax. There is also the fact that both of his ex-wives have filed police reports for domestic abuse against him in the past. Lowtax is a wife beater. Do with that information what you will. vvvvvv EDIT: I may have, haha. poo poo's moving fast, crazy times.

So here's an actual hypothetical. I know anyone can sue anyone for any reason if they can pay. Has any lawyer done a GoFundMe or patreon to cover the expense of just annoying the poo poo out of someone? Like a reverse class action? Thinking one of you could buy the dip on lowtaxes patreon.

I mean, there's something called 'SLAPP' suits which is basically when a rich individual files nuisance lawsuits to harass some poor shmuck.

Filing lawsuits for the purpose of harassment can get both the attorney and client sanctioned. Normally that's hard to do... but if you have a GoFundMe out there that says "donate to harass" that's going to be Exhibit A in the sanctions memo.

So say you don't call it "GoFundMe to harass x" Say you call it "GoFundMe to sue x for good and solid reasons" Afaik (which isn't much) the options are have enough money, have a case so good it's worth doing for a percentage if you win, or have something like the ACLU. Assume it's legit. Reading this thread has taught me about blood from a stone. That if the expense isn't a fraction of the possible gain to just walk. Harass was the wrong term to use. Say sue with good reason but no hope of recovering the expense. Edit: scouts honor I'm just curious. honda whisperer fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Jun 25, 2020 |

honda whisperer posted:Yes and no. If it’s a meritorious claim and the funding is provided to pursue that claim it’s litigation funding and it’s legal. If it’s a bad but not frivolous claim and the funding is to pursue that claim, it’s also legal but you run some risks on attorney’s fees depending on how bad the claim is. If the funding is provided to pursue any claim regardless of merit, it’s vexatious litigation (and in some jurisdictions may also be a SLAPP suit) and it’ll get you sanctioned.
