Richard Meyer v. Mark Waid (2018)

[Kosher Dill]

It's pretty generic shitlawyering to describe everything with a list of adjectives separated by commas that are all synonyms of each other.

That was an arbitrary and capricious thing to say.

 

[SuperSheep]

I like how often he groups together "bigotry, hatred, and intolerance" but still feels the need to type out all three. Okay, maybe not all bigotry is "hateful" but what the flying fuck is "tolerant bigotry" if intolerance is a seperate feature from bigotry?

Why stop at three instead of using 20 words to call Meyer a Nazi again? "I'm sorry for mischaracterizing you, Mr. Meyer, you are a happy tolerant bigot" is probably not a thing anyone would say.

A tolerant bigot is the patronizing sort, who believes the lesser races/genders/cultures/etc need their enlightened leadership to help them survive.

Shame, I thought he was implying there's some "intersectional Nazism" movement going on. There should be, black Nazis are scientifically proven to be the funniest humans to ever exist.

A tolerant bigot is the patronizing sort, who believes the lesser races/genders/cultures need their enlightened leadership to help them survive.

I was assuming they fell under "Okay, maybe not all bigotry is hateful" but you are right too.

Nicky Rackets is talking live about the response:

Info: There is an epic twenty minute rant at the start, and the legal analysis begins right after so if you've come in late you can skip to about 20 minutes or so in if you only want legal opinions.

Edit: "You [Mark Zaid] are the cum-stain on the rag of society!"

He's in rare form.

"You dumb pile of COCKS!" <--- Nicky to Super Zaid

 

[Jub-Jub]

This is only a few minutes in and it's already brilliant. Bring the Rage

 

[Dilligaff]

Nick's so angry he's about to have an aneurysm. His ranting is wondrous though.

 

[Jub-Jub]

Look who showed up

Edit: This is way more funny and offensive than 'the Dark Roast'. He's now saying Waid and Zaid act like paedo's. Anybody who hasn't seen this rant should watch it later.

 

[SJ 485]

Is this old? Did I miss this somehow? I tuned in just in time to hear Rekieta mention Zaid's youtube likes and there they were.

Golly gosh he DOES look like a paedophile. How long before these disappear now that Rekieta mentioned it on stream?

Yeah this was found almost immediately, most people chock it up to a daughter or something.

Interesting

Nick's been spending too much time with Dick Masterson and that's a good thing.

 

[AJ 447]

Goddamn, Nick unleashed the beast during this stream.

 

[Jub-Jub]

I can't wait for the REEEEEE from the rackets stream and he didn't even get to the exhibits section.
I'm sure this won't bite him in the arse

can you get from superchats to the channel used like you can from normal chat messages?
I would bet its Cecils Sugar mommy who is making those donations...

 

[Slimy Time]

Major props to all the lawfags who have been remarking on this and various other legal matters around the farm. I really appreciate it, and the discussions of the nuances.

Would also like to get their opinion on the work of The Superlawyer... From what I can see, he's not going down too well with our law crowd.

 

[soy_king]

Has SJW rhetoric ever worked in court? Honestly, Zaids response is almost Landau levels of terrible. It's as if Zaid/Reeves' response was literally collecting the tweets of every comic sperg and adding a dash of legalese.

I'm not sure he had much to do with the actual functional parts of this filing. The boilerplate jurisdictional language is probably by local counsel, and closely tracks the local case law and much of it is probably lifted from similar 12(b)(2) motions filed by the same local firm and adapted to the specific facts of this case.

There's also a lot of puffing and hysterical bullshit, and that is probably Zaid's contribution. Instead of citing statutes or case law, it cites blog posts from shit like "Bleeding Cool" that are written by friends of Waid. None of this stuff is remotely relevant to jurisdiction, the only issue currently before the court. That appears to be Zaid's contribution. That and some $750 tweets. Not impressed.

Rackets also cited what seems like at least borderline unethical behavior from local counsel. I have no personal knowledge, but it's alleged that in requesting the extension of time to respond, local counsel didn't disclose to Meyer's counsel that Zaid was still on the case, making it look like they were just new lawyers trying to come up to speed on a case that was new to them.

In actual fact, it was still always Zaid, who didn't file for PHV until after the extension was granted. He didn't need any time, he just hadn't taken the time he already had to do it. Too busy tweeting I guess.

This is fairly minor, in that Meyer's counsel probably wouldn't have opposed the motion anyway, but it's actually scummy specifically because of that. There was absolutely no need to be slimy and underhanded about this, and even with no real advantage, they went the slimy, underhanded route.

Really, even if you are going to go slimy and underhanded, as a matter of strategy, you should wait for when it will actually get you an advantage. I'm pretty sure Meyer's counsel will be much less likely to let these scumbags get away with an unopposed motion in the future if they later need one.

It may be reading too much into the opening salvos, but while I initially thought local counsel might bring Captain Cloud Cuckoo Zaid down to earth (because they are on the hook for any sanctions from his clownish conduct), it looks like they're joining in on it themselves instead.

I expect more scorched earth tactics.

That's good for us because

In the entire time of my watching Nick Reketia, I have never heard him this fucking angry.

Flat-out arguing that Zaid deserves disbarment is something new to say the least.

Well, he did start this stream after another three hour stream. Dude was pretty hammered before he even started.

It gets better. About an hour later, he starts talking about he hopes this motion gets sanctioned.

Edit: Somebody in chat pointed out Waid was at a Texas con doing a signing in May. Does that make the statement he does no business in Texas actionable?
