Well, this is what I get for being unavailable for an entire day. I come back to this shitshow. Where the everloving fuck do I start?
Fell free to Autistic this, it's my summery reaction/commentary to everything and as such shall be long. Also, I was skimming a lot of the posts, so if I have missed something, or it was already speculated/answered, fell free to Dumb me. As my life is entering a fairly happy new phase I shall probably be off the farms for a while after this, so I shall go off with a bang.
The Rulings;
The weakest case got the strongest lawyer someone said earlier; as shit as it is to watch that souless harpy of a woman skip off into the sunset, Marchi lucked into a good lawyer and got off after demanding a man be castrated. She was always the weakest case, yet it is still bitter to see such an awful human being be de facto exonerated, and you know that is how she will take this. Vindication of her horridness.
On the the rest, I basically agree with the consensus forming; that something is up with Chupp. The recent post about him being criticized is interesting, but not enough to come to any firm conclusions. Dismissing Marchi was kind of expected, but the rest was a complete non sequitor. Ignoring evidence, demanding higher standards for Ty, basically changeing the purpose of the hearing, and generally banding about nonsense, he had to have had something going on we are not privy to. TI was the easiest claim, but was tossed under pedantic nonsense. I truly think he is just finding good ways to dismiss everything else in writing. A lot earlier, someone stated something to the affect that it is good that the judge wasn't emotionally involved, that it was good he was applying the law and this was just another Friday case. Horseshit, you do not need to be emotionally involved to do your fucking job. Another friday case is someone's life, their career, not just an annoyance to clear from your docket because it is beneath you. Intellectual investment is all that is needed, and this was clearly not it. And as our Dear leader reminded us, judicial fuckery is not out of the question.
And stop the accusations of hypocrisy in us looking at the judge. The hypotheticals of KV going after the judge were based in them hating him for being a white, Republican, male. This is looking at his actual logic and decisions. If KV had walked into the hearing and played a video of Vic violently raping a 12 year old girl, and Chupp ignored it as it wasn't strictly relevant to the TCPA or not filed properly, they would have every reason to be pissed and questioning his competence.
The Tragedy of Ty Beard the Wise;
Allow me to run some defense for Ty. We do not actually know the reasoning for the problems in the filings. We can fairly safely say that he went in for a TCPA hearing, and that is what he prepared, so it isn't that surprising that he was caught flat footed when the evidentiary standard was suddenly raised or when the judge started demanding exact numbers for Vic's monetary loss. As to why the filings were flawed, well, we aren't privy to the case intimately. It may have been technical problems, or logistics. Ty is the head of a lawfirm, working far more than just this case, plus has a life and family; so if it was just a time/overencumbered problem, it is possible. Or it may have been incompetence, he may have just screwed up. But I doubt this last part, no where in his appearances has he seemed slow, dumb, or overly arrogant, he has always tried to act downright humble. It is possible, but not concurrent with everything that has come before. (And to those criticising him for coming on Nicks show, or asserting he may have let the e-fame get to him, please actually provide evidence both that this has happened, and that it was the cause of the problems today. Him spending like 1.5 hours, several days over the span of 7 months, late at night after the working day is over, with a friend on a live-stream is not such time wasted as to affect the lawsuit. Hell him talking it out with Nick or hearing the superchats supporting him may be a healthy boost after a long day.) If it was truly incompetence, then he may have just had his Battle of Dyrrhaccium, which Caesar lost yet would go on to win the civil war.
And please stop with the spergery speculation of Vic firing him for gross incompetence or malpractice, we have no idea if that was the problem, and if I am remembering correctly, our dear Svetlana even downvoted one of them, and we must all admit she knows a hell of a lot more about what is happening between Vic and Ty than we do.
Of Spergs, Tists, and Exceptionalism;
Y'all really need to learn the difference between emotional meltdowns and rhetorical hyperbole. I have seen too many earlier posts going on about the apparent cringe of either the spergery of ISWV on twitter, or the antics of the YTer branch. Nothing even approaches the levels seemingly reported. There are no wide spread endemics of weebs crying for Beard-sama to defeat the evil sjws and REEing at the days events. It was mostly just speculation, and people mildly catatrosphizing over the limited information available. The rare oddity of those such as the bridge suicide posts are isolated bits of nonsense that the internet sees daily. Not something to be itemizing. And please, do not try to claim KV and ISWV are equally exceptional, ISWV is less exceptional by default for simply being on the side of basic facts. Despite the cases of the autistics at the Cons, or the let's say questionable actions of the Yters, it is not comparable to Shane, or the Threadnaught, or Marzgurl, or Pridemore, or dodging process, or West Nile, or anything they have done. For all the bitching about "hot takes" (read:speculation) there have been some ludicrous assertions of the veracity of Lawtwitter or even PULL.
Next to a some meta stuff on the farms. The first 70 pages or so of this Thread were not just useless spergery or exceptionalism, it is too long to read when one can just get precis, but please, did you seriously think that the WeebWars threads would fall silent as only small trickles of information came out? No, people speculate, debate, criticize, and ponder. Half the posts were acknowledging that this information was assuredly biased or incomplete. Please for fucks sake get off your high horse of enlightened kiwidom because you were above speculation or didn't get emotionally invested. WeebWars ain't your normal lolcow, a single person or organization doing dumb shit to be catalogued. It is a conflict between vile people and an innocent man. Of course people will get emotionally invested when they are watching a man fight for his life. It's why Razorfist made an epic three part rebuttal to the Michael Jackson allegations despite the man being dead. If it was just too much, if its sucking you in for addiction, making you forget other parts of your life, then of course step back, don't post for a while, go back to lurking, do as you please, this is not your life or fight. It's why I relatively rarely post and my posts are often longer to cover a lot of stuff, I simply am enjoying my life to post every single day every hour most days. But to those circlejerking themselves for the enlightenment of not being invested in a man fighting for his life, for just laughing, stop acting better than those who have an emotional stake in the outcome of this. I get the farms is about laughing at lolcows, but y'all were perfectly fine to get very emotional when the Toye revelations came out, so why is it so enlightened to not be sad when a man has a drastic set back to rebuilding his life? Please laugh, please mock, and don't pull punches when you see a problem, but get off the high horse and stop sperging some contrarian holier than thou crap.
