Case dismissed.
This is one example why we need a national “make the loser pay,” element in tort reform.
At some point he will have a face-to-face encounter with that Author and at that time, his perspective will change dramatically.
Let’s not use the term “Counter-sue his butt” in the context of this case. That’s a mental image nobody needs this early in the morning. Yuk!
