YES, BUT I STILL HAVE TO RESPOND. Section 230 protects me already. BUT I STILL HAVE TO RESPOND.Isn't that what anti-SLAPP laws are for? @AnOminous, any input on those?
Florida, Nevada, Utah, and Virginia all have them.
I think we've established by this point that we're not lawyers. But we are adults living on our own(presumably), so we've got the ability to help pay for lawyers. A pinned post or something about a need for increased donations to fight off lawcows would probably get a good uptick in donations, since right now nobody outside this thread knows this is that big an issue.YES, BUT I STILL HAVE TO RESPOND. Section 230 protects me already. BUT I STILL HAVE TO RESPOND.
It's $5000 for a retainer and $200~$500 an hour for a lawyer to write a paper that just says "SECTION 230".
If he's labeled a vexatious litigant, then I don't have to respond. UNLESS HE FILES FROM NEVADA, WHICH HE WILL IF HE'S A VL IN UTAH.
Do you get it?
Well yea but in terms of legal advice it's always better to get it from an actual lawyer.Iirc Null was the one who sunk the gofundme for Chris, since the fear was now that people would be giving money to a rapist and that all the money given so far would go to said rapist.
Hence why I said it probably wasn't helpful. I figured it was at least worth a shot.
I'm working on something but it's not ready. In the mean time, you can assume that the various lawyers (I have like four at the moment) who have looked at this case have exhausted ideas like 'what about anti-slapp'.I think we've established by this point that we're not lawyers.

FWIW he's right- attorneys charge BUCKETS of cash for the most basic of services. I speak to clients every day who are dumbfounded they ran through their entire retainer on a few phone calls and a divorce response.YES, BUT I STILL HAVE TO RESPOND. Section 230 protects me already.

Granted, going to trial (what I'd have to do without anti-SLAPP/Section 230) is expensive! It's $75,000 instead of $5,000! BUT I STILL HAVE TO RESPOND.
Nah mate, we get it. Aside from melly russ is the biggest one of these, so anyone who's been in this thread for any length of time knows how fucking awful it is to deal with him. So long as we can help the site stay alive and piss off greer and melly, you're good to flip out every now and again.I'm working on something but it's not ready.

I'm sorry to be so rude but I have been dealing with this quietly for 2 years and now I'm about to fucking snap

And I'm very fortunate that Skordas and Hardin are both shaving my billable hours down by at least 50% because this is clearly fucking stupid bullshit obviously intended to waste my fucking time and money.FWIW he's right- attorneys charge BUCKETS of cash for the most basic of services.

Him breaking is what they want really, it's their form of revenge as a vexatious litigant. That's what they use the courts for. So even when they lose their case, they still win (in their eyes) because they have inflicted some pain upon Null and KF. It's plainly malicious and it's what gives them satisfaction to be honest.Nah mate, we get it.

I lost a bet with my little sister and had to read Tyra Banks YA novel in its entirety. She is absolutely a narcissist.Part of me calls bullshit on this but Tyra Banks is known to be a control freak and a huge narcissist...
Why do you think she doesn't really model anymore, while Naomi Campbell still gets shitloads of work? Even though Naomi is a phone-thrower of the highest caliber?I lost a bet with my little sister and had to read Tyra Banks YA novel in its entirety. She is absolutely a narcissist.
There is no greater window into someone's mind than a fucking novel they wrote, and I guarantee you that Modelland did not have a ghostwriter. It was clearly workshopped at some hugbox-style writing circles where they will address penny-ante writing issues but never touch structural defects, bad characters or completely batshit stupid premises, but it was 100% written by Tyra Banks. And it's a goddamn narcissistic fever dream as-filtered through the act of mindlessly and clumsily aping the only three books Tyra Banks has read.
you're very fortunate in that regard. In my experience family attorneys are so sick of the drama they won't even take billable calls because they're so fucking jaded. Plenty of them will charge a flat $1500 for a divorce just to get people in and then all the way out of the door. it's the defamation/personal injury/civil attorneys that are ripping people to shreds all day ime.And I'm very fortunate that Skordas and Hardin are both shaving my billable hours down by at least 50% because this is clearly fucking stupid bullshit obviously intended to waste my fucking time and money.
Family lawyers won't do that tho. They'll bleed you.
Please do. If I could simply enter my card info and send you $20-$50 for legal expenses I would do it in a heartbeat. Hell, PM me a mailing address and I'll drop a $50 bill in an envelope and send it to you today. Yet I am far to lazy and/or impatient to jump through hoops for something that should be automatic, the assholeishness of PayPal etc. pisses me off so much.There is no simple method. This page explains it:
There may be a way to use a legal crowd fund system set up by the lawyers. I'll have to look at how it works.
That's for an uncontested divorce.Plenty of them will charge a flat $1500 for a divorce just to get people in and then all the way out of the door
I think Russ' legal saga is nearing his end. If you observe his modus operandi he gives up after some time. He gave up on Swift, he gave up on Grande, he'll give up on Josh. Just a speculation but I think his ego is much more fragile and when he's publicly humiliated in court he buries the memory of it, pretends it never happened and direct his malice to another target. Mel on the other hand is nothing but persistent - she's too crazy to realize that she's wrong and she enjoys the fight anyway even if she loses all the time. In the long term she's much more dangerous than Russhole.Nah mate, we get it.

Mel will eventually destroy herself. God only knows how, but one day she's going to do something that wrecks her beyond repair. Maybe it'll be having to sell off all her shit to pay Jersh's court costs, maybe it'll be threatening someone who lives near her and doesn't tolerate bitches. But it's only a matter of time. People like her don't make it to old age, they either change their mental state or someone else changes their physical state.I think Russ' legal saga is nearing his end.

Sometimes- I see uncontested go for closer to $750-$1000 these days. Most people who get uncontested divorces are just going the DIY route these days, which is much, MUCH cheaper.That's for an uncontested divorce.
