Jack Thompson Sues Florida Bar
Gamasutra reports that Jack Thompson has sued the Florida Bar Association, for "hector[ing] plaintiff Thompson for 19 months with SLAPP Bar complaints filed by opposing counsel (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participants). Continually, during that time, Thompson and his counsel in these Bar matters have repeatedly asked The Florida Bar to sit down with him and his counsel to try to resolve, once and for all, this dispute, which goes back more than 18 years when other baseless SLAPP Bar complaints were filed, resulting in the payment of money damages to plaintiff Thompson."
He's been doing this since 1989. You just haven't heard of him until recently because before he was attacking video games, he was attacking rap music.
17 years. And he hasn't faded away yet.
Really, some things don't go away when you stop paying attention to them.
That would be cum grano salis. cum takes the ablative case, not the accusative.
Not quite the same thing, but there's a concept of the 'vexatious litigant' in some places. They're forbidden to sue anybody, because they've abused the courts repeatedly and egregiously. The British courts' killfile is here, and I notice from the wikipedia link that the notorious Christian extremist Fred Phelps is listed as a vexatious litigant in the US.
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
... I should really do something with that domain I registered :)
