Also, at the first hearing, Erika had trouble connecting. She and her lawyer requested another hearing because Erika wanted treatment to be mandated as part of Russ's plea. He rejected this, and that's how he went from pleading no contest to pleading guilty and being on probation for 18 months. She said during the second hearing that she thought Russ might have done something or paid someone to do something to prevent her from connecting.
So it seems Russ mediation stage 3 is Pro Bono idiots forced to continue representing Russ Pro Bono till/if they can find an ethical reason to back out versus null's flat fee appeal attorney in an endless Mexican standoff? If hypothetically they wanted just this thread removed I can't see that ever happening and I imagine the paid nothing side would break before the paid something side.
That's what Null thinks, yes. I'm inclined to trust him on this.
That's not what the suit is about, so I don't imagine it would come up in mediation. Then again, it might.
Laws or no, I'm sure it was.
I'm pleased to hear the Digital Justice Foundation is possibly suffering as a result of their voluntary decision to champion Greer's deranged crusade against free speech.
Maybe they've learned a valuable lesson about doing their due diligence before accepting a client?
Speaking of the nuanced bits: You have Russell acting P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C as all get out long before Chad shows up. The barrage of "Ok! Let's meet up!" "I'll buy you a shake!" "So when can we meet up?" "But we can still meet up, right?" is the cherry on top of the shit Sunday. I'm sure he's been told many times that he sounds extremely desperate and extremely pathetic, but he always comes right out of the gate as a stage-5 clinger.
Not only clingy, but extremely insecure. He gets mad if a girl doesn't reply to him within minutes. He's so fucking jealous he gets jealous over girls he doesn't know having boyfriends.
This sounds like an unstoppable force vs. immovable object situation. Mediation chicken until the end of time. It's what Russell deserves.
Whilst I'm relieved to hear that Null's counsel is working on a flat rate basis with the responses to Russhole's latest fuckery, I can't help but feel just a little sorry for his lawyers. Especially if Russhole's counsel is as good as taking "no" for an answer as ol' Shitlips himself is.Thrilled to hear that Null is paying a flat fee for those appeals.
I don't think they are. I think they took a look at Kiwi Farms and thought "Hey, it's a fairly small website with no corporate backing. We can make these guys fold, no problem." Then a problem arose in the form of Based Skordas and an absolutely insane userbase filling Null's war chest. I have no doubt they are aware that Skordas is getting paid (even if it is a flat rate) while they are dealing with Shitlips for free. They're probably wishing they put an exit clause in their agreement with Russ.
Russ has a way of interacting with opposing counsel that seems to make them more willing to be flexible with their fee schedules.
When you practiced, did you ever have a client that made you want to jump out a window to escape, even if you weren't on the first floor? I imagine that's what Russ's lawyers are feeling like.
Good point.
If they'd just listen to his obviously superior legal mind, Null would have worn the red dress and played footsie already!
He didn't sound mad when he talked about his various proceedings, which makes me think good things are happening. Dog knows he needs W's right now.This sounds like an unstoppable force vs. immovable object situation. Mediation chicken until the end of time. It's what Russell deserves.

No, but I generally didn't represent clients directly anyway. As I've said, my actual practice was very limited and most of the work I've done related isn't representational but administrative or research-oriented, most of that appellate. Hate to be that vague.
