Watching Mayr squirm in court would be painful if it wasn't so funny. The suit came out stillborn to begin with but, Jesus fuck, is he not doing Rick any favours.
How the fuck do you get to sue people for free, no strings attached, and still manage to hire the worst lawyer around? The contrast between Mayr and The Peñasher is astounding.
Minor update, apparently the pot called the kettle black

That reminds me of a little nugget I found in the Munoz pt. 2 tape.
Rick
states lies that two of his publishers dropped him after receiving death threats by email and getting trashed on social media. Pig goes on to say that, "the fact that bringing me on also means bringing these motherfuckers into the fold, whether they were invited or not".
"Bringing into the fold" is a very odd choice of phrase to use here, as it has a distinct
positive connotation. It's bringing your flock into a safe harbour, bringing the wayward into the light, etc. Pat seems to think it just means "group A joins group B", when it's more like enthusiastically welcoming group A into your bosom.
Professional author Tomlinson doesn't understand common idioms and instead of phrasing that sentence in a dozen different ways which make sense, he picks the one option that makes him look like a self-contradicting dolt.
That too. They were almost going to be given their own sub forum. Sort of glad they didn't since they can't keep anything on track and just constantly make more threads to call people fat. They don't know how to use a forum and use it like Reddit.
To be fair, the request of: "give us randos our own subforum" is a pretty tough sell. Especially given the reputation of the community, and the fact that the two Cumia threads were dead and the Tomlinson one wasn't even in it's infancy, I think. People here were rightfully wary about the necessity of it and the ability of the ONA community as a whole to integrate.
I'm glad it didn't go through because the current outcome is for the best. Now there's two different sites who are tailor-made to suit their respective userbases, with enough overlap and goodwill between them for willing people to crosspost. I've been seeing a steady trickle of brothermen joining up to post here, and I'm certain a number of Kiwis have made the jump ova there as well.
I'm sure relations would've soured quick if you just plonked the whole onaforums userbase in a containment board and expected it to obey da rulez. Now the ONA guys have enough freedom to fuck with Fatrick a bit, and Kiwis can laugh at the results without having to feel the need to take responsibility.
Who said that 'seperate but equal' doesn't work?
