A lawsuit is much more frightening than a fist fight and can lead to much more long-term damage.

OK, well, try this: I'm 6', 240 with about 13% BF (and going down) and while I always avoid trouble like the plague, I'm well prepared for it with ample schooling in martial arts offensive techniques and self defense type defensive techniques, and am usually well armed. I'm also a trial lawyer (primarily defense) who's pretty much an expert on personal jurisdiction law (mainly Texas, but I know enough about other states) who would never be subject to jurisdiction of a Florida court, or to a Federal Court in Florida. A lawsuit doesn't frighten me in the least.

Now, will someone please tell me what this post is about, other than a treatise on Florida defamation law and all us screwballs talking about how (supposedly) tough we are on an anonymous network?

It is about some disgruntled lawyer in Florida mad at the FR and wanting to scare the older folks here who may know little about the Internet.... IMO

It's about a lawyer with a star wars fixation trying to get people to stop trying to stop an insurance scamming adultering scumbag and his lawyer from murdering an innocent woman who's only fault was to have married the un-challanged, un-paralleled a-hole of the universe.

That's as far as I've gotten.

Apparently CP doesn't like the Terri Schiavo threads or the people on them. (of course that's just my opinion, wouldn't want CP to sue me...blah blah blah)

Beats the hell out of me. I actually have no dog in this fight. Wanna bet we'll get up to post 500?
