Lawyer Puts $10k Bounty on Blogger's Identity
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Raymond Niro of Niro Scavone Haller & Niro is fighting back against criticism from the Patent Troll Tracker blog by offering a $10,000 bounty for the identity of the person behind it. He thinks the blogger might work for Microsoft, Intel, or has connections to a 'serial infringer' and that could 'color' what they say."
Well we at least know it's not a nigger. Niggers aren't smart enough to write patents, unless it's a new crack/fried chicken recipe.
African Americans invented the gas mask, the traffic signal, the street mailbox, control unit for heart pacemakers, the carbon filament for Edison's first lightbulb, peanut butter and potato chips. Oh, and to be computer-related, an African-American at IBM led the design teams for the ISA bus and the first 1 GHz CPU.
You're totally wrong. Maybe it's inexperience. Maybe your life has been sheltered. But you're totally wrong and by your own admittance.
It sounds as if you were the agitator, the defendant in a court being prosecuted for libel. You also say that you knew that your target was wantonly litigious. If you line up against a boxer, expect to get punched. If you line up against a punter, expect to get kicked. If you line up against a litigator, expect to be litigated. If you don't want to be punched, kicked, or litigated, then don't line up against them. Nobody forced you to take up that particular battle.
But, for the sake of truth and justice, don't hide and sneak around and act like you think you're getting away with something. That's just common sense. The court didn't miss the argument. The court knew that your argument was hogwash. You knew you were getting yourself tangled with a litigious person. Libel is on the books specifically to allow people to face their agitators (right to face the accuser and all that). What made you think you were on some mission from God that such basic concepts wouldn't apply to you? Did you have any reasoning that the libel laws were incorrect? Did you request a jury nullification or a similar dismissal?
And that's exactly what is at issue in TFA. The agitator wanted to cause an altercation with the target but wanted some force field of immunity to magically protect them, as if they have some right to agitate the target. What does that say for the agitator? They have nothing better in life to do? They have no productive hobby which gives them a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day? Their only sense of accomplishment is to be gained, not by working for the advancement of mankind, not by working for the advancement of their own family, not by working for their own advancement in their career, not by working for the advancement of their community, but their only sense of accomplishment is to target one single individual, Niro, and an individual who is just one of thousands in the pool of attorneys, and repeatedly go after that one person again and again and again.
Just what are you doing in life?
