PetsWarehouse vs. Mailing List

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the just-a-bizarre-story dept.

klaun writes "Salon is running a story about a federal suit against members of an Internet mailing list. Seems a company got a bad review on the list and the owner sued the person that said it and everyone who agreed. But the case grew bigger from there, including a suit against the legal defense fund set up to support members of the list being sued and anyone who linked to the defense fund. The ultimate rub of it all is that it basically worked. Most of the defendants have settled." This is a truly bizarre story.

    I hate to stir up more trouble, but it is my opinion that PetsWarehouse are a bunch of child molesting, cocaine distributing, AIDS-infected Satanists who routinely butcher small puppies and kittens in worship of the Dark Lord. Robert Novak is best friends with Gary Condit and he helped pull out Chandra Levy's teeth with a pair of pliers.

      Expect a call from my lawyer, Satan.

      Wow...Satan represents himself...he must not be a very good lawyer...I would have thought he'd get a call from the "devil's advocate."

    They have on their page "1-800-991-3299". Now calling them up on that number would be wrong, and calling them from a US pay phone, which costs them an extra 35 cents every call, would be even wronger.

    With that post, slashdot is now a defendant!


    Oops! With this post, *I'm* a defendant.


    I've dealt with this kind of behavior before from those who represent themseloves. Yes, it can be expensive to handle along the way.


    But guess what, punk: I *am* a lawyer, and my hourly is $400. If you want to start this, go for it; my kids want to go to college, and I'll have your inventory and 25% of your paycheck for the next 20 years . . .
