Been a while since we had a good chimpout from Mr. Moon, but apparently, he really hates it when people make suggestions about, well, anything. Enjoy this two-for-one deal!

Nook is a coward.

Isabella is not.

He should simply embrace the destruction of entropy and rejoice in the sands of the warp.

Instead his shackles weigh him down.

I pity the Fool, the one named Nool.

I have a question for any legal onions: Is Joshua handling this Melinda Scott issue the best he can? It sure does seem like Scott could have been labeled a vexatious litigant on some level before she started filing in forma pauperis gibberish in federal courts, especially since she racked up so many dismissals (most or all with prejudice?) on the state court level, even trying to name a legally-protected mental health agency in the latest round of lolsuits.

I get that these suits are designed to drain the defendant(s) of money, not necessarily to get a W in court, but this just keeps going on and on, especially when she's dealing with court clerks who go out of their way to ignore a federal judge's order about requiring appeal bonds. What could have been done differently? What could be done to defang her now?

he wants donations, it doesnt seem he actually wants to win.
He claimed somewhere that he spends $5,000 every time he has to file anything in response to this bullshit, but there are a lot of T&H users on that site, so maybe it doesn't hurt as much. Good point.

I took a second look at the envelope that Null put on the KF forum. CWC's letter was sent in a standard business envelope and sent via metered mail. The rate of 53 cents corresponds to a US address. If it was actually sent to Serbia it would be $1.30 for a global forever stamp or slightly less if metered.

There are a couple of options that Joshua has.

Move his LLC to a European country with a loser pays provision. In short loser pays means that if you sue someone and you lose, you have to pay the other person's legal fees. However, a lot of these countries are also much tougher with defamation laws than the US. This translates into Josh losing some of his freedom of speech and making some significant changes to Kiwifarms

A binding arbitration/mediation clause. If you sign up for an account with KF you agree to settle settle any disputes through mediation/ binding arbitration rather than through the legal system. It has to be someone that both parties feel comfortable with. This involves Josh coming to the realization that he may have to eat humble pie and make a few changes to Kiwifarms if he wants it to survive. I don't place a lot of confidence in this. The downside to this is that if Joshua agrees to this contractually and then refuses to honor his commitment, it could be seen as evidence that Josh acted in bad faith and make his position in court more vulnerable.

The letter was sent to someone else and Chris asked the recipient to relay the contents to Null. Whoever received this was in the US, but they (or someone they know) would have digitized it and sent it to Null after the fact.

Also, the sender info on the letter... "Chris Chan Sonichu, c/o CVRJ"... :autistic:

He will probably never go for this. Anything that compromises the "free speech" ideal of KF (well, "free speech" as long as you don't @ him in chat on the wrong day, laugh at his chimpouts, be British, give him a "mad on the internet" rating, ...) is likely off the table.

This I actually could see. If Null could find someone who he trusts, who he isn't going to get pissed at/isn't going to piss off in a matter of weeks, and has enough likability/trustworthiness that both Null and the disputing party can expect this person to carry out mediation/arbitration without problematic behavior (i.e. sperging out at them, leaking discussions/proceedings on KF or splinter sites, etc.), it just might work. This, of course, will require a healthy dose of :optimistic:.

It would most likely go sideways the first time, and then the whole idea would wither on the vine like so many before it, though.

I thought Null may have come back to the States but I wasn't going to bank on it. Sorry if I come across as a sperg. I am not as familiar with the inner politics of KF as others.

Null is going to have to compromise and it's better that he does so sooner than later. Yes he has won legally but that's because the persons that he won against represented themselves (which even Nick Rekieta or any lawyer will tell you thus is the worst option you could choose) while the other person probably had an attorney who was a generalist and just wasn't familiar in this area of law. In other words, it's not his legal skills that got him off, it was the fact that he lucked out. And that's the problem. Null has gotten a false sense of security from this. If Melinda has filed six suits against KF, I wouldn't put it past her to consider initiating a class action suit against KF with a good attorney.

Remove one or perhaps two zeros from that

When narcissistic criminals choose to represent themselves the trial end up being hilarious, I'd pay so much money to see some of those.

You are not wrong @Sailfish a lot of people suspect Josh spends time in the States or is in New York. He changed his legal name in New York to James Gabriel Potter and he has said he likes to be near his hosting (and 1776 was at one stage in New York). Also he said he was retraining using free college in New York.
