Thanks Jim and congratulations! Looks like LAT and WP lost a lot more than we did. Doesn't look like very good pr for them - we have a widespread readership.

Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel unless you have servers with terrabyte capacity.

Maybe we should convert their articles to ebonics or whatever seems silliest and post em here as parodies... might be fun.. ;-)

Ping. can we consider this to be FR's Independence Day ??
To: Jim Robinson
Oops I meant the LAT, not the NYT, although that's in the same flock.
To: editor-surveyor; Jim Robinson
If you had the funds, I'm sure that you would have prevailed in the courts. - The settlement proves that they thought so too, but it is good to have this thorn removed. Excellent observation, and I agree. They always go after the one with the fewest resources so as to keep the fight short, and make the victory clear. Jim's unwillingness to bend on principle is what kept FreeRepublic alive.
If the LA Slime and Washington Compost thought they'd keep their victory during Jim's appeal, they'd have never accepted such a small amount of "compensation" for their "articles." Rather, they'd have proceeded ahead and tried to make a mockery out of Jim and FreeRepublic.
Ain't it something when someone stands on principle and wins? An example has been set here today.

This is a tragedy of biblical proportions for the boys over at "Free Republic Death Watch". Heh heh...
My guess is that they'll have to go back to gazing at Playboy centerfolds to make their hand-candy work ;o)
To: Jim Robinson
Congratulations, Jim. This is an excellent settlement. Kudos to FR attorneys and you.
To: Jim Robinson
It's a crying shame that the hallowed words of the WP/LAT will no longer grace our pages, but, somehow, I am sure we will manage to live on without them. LOL! Too funny! I'm happy to hear that we're still here and not going anywhere. Congrats!
To: Jim Robinson
May WP and LAT both become so irrelevent that they BEG to be mentioned on the stall walls of a bus station!
Long Live FR!
To: Jim Robinson
WOOOOHOOOOO!!
It may not be a win but I'ld say that the balance is certainly on FR's side.
To: Jim Robinson
Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!!
Congrats! :-)
To: Jim Robinson
Very, very good news. Congratulations Jim on a well executed legal battle fought on principle. I understand that you don't see it as a clean win, but from my perspective it looks like LAT/WP crawled down from the "off-with-FR's-head" belligerent attitude they started out with.
Smells like victory to me!

Liners for the bird cage, indeed. If not for the fact that printer's ink is allergenic and messy, the WP and the LAT would make for an excellent substitute for Charmin.
They and their crack legal teams must be bursting with pride about now -- and wondering how to spend their $5,000 windfalls........
