From what I've heard, that's just Austin. Along with potentially the big cities and the communities on the border with Mexico.
I was doom and gloom when the TCPA first happened, but after being calm and looking, back, Chupp seemed to me a lot Ty's tendencies along with shit happening because no plan survives contact with the enemy.
Is this one of those situations where whatever wounds Ty and Vic can dish out pale in comparison to the wounds that are self inflicted?
If it gets past appeals, the only thing that will stop discovery is settlement.
Damn, he sounds nervous and kinda slow-witted at the same time. Even if Ty didn't boomer the notary, the Chuppening would nuke him.
Why does he look like Manjaw and Monica Rial did the fusion dance?
There WAS a possibility to settle, but the defendants wasted it, remember? At the beginning and when Chupp had them all discuss (I can't remember what it was called) the whole thing before he gave his ruling? The defendants don't want to admit what they did was wrong and hurt Vic's career (as well as interfering with conventions), and continue to act like he's the scum of the universe. They don't want to actually settle, they just want Vic to try to settle for a "gotcha" moment.
Isn't that what Vic wanted in the first place, along with retractions?
You have to remember, at the time Chupp ordered the mediation, he had thrown out all but three causes of action, and had completely dismissed Marchi. They were basically holding Vic by the short and curlies at this point. They had the leverage, not him.
Probably. Personally, I'd also want a hundred thousand from each defendant for my troubles, but I'd bet money that if Vic was offered a complete retraction, admission of guilt, and apology (probably in video format) he'd immediately drop the suit and not even ask for any money. Everyone would pay their own lawyers and that would be that.
Damn, he sounds even more of a dweeb than I thought. No wonder he got killed in that appeals election.
To be fair, what really killed him in that election was his inability to fill out a simple form.
It is natural that you feel fatigued because you, like many others I'm afraid, broke the gladiator arena rule: You're supposed to enjoy the spectacle and masturbate to the bloodshed and not climb down to the blood soaked sand get yourself involved. I understand that Vic is a sympathetic guy that didn't deserve any of this shit, but please do understand that getting emotionally involved in this is just as pantsu and head retarded as getting emotionally involved in Internet Bloodsports. There is a silver lining though: No matter if Vic wins or loses, we will have plenty of Julay for almost a lifetime. Be it people here or Funimation and its associated voice acting lolcows, you can't tell me that you wouldn't appreciate to see the majestic view of the Endless Pink Fields of /biz/ once more.
Call it a gut feeling or woman's intuition on my part or whatever you want, but I have a hunch that Nick's dirt on Funimation will be akin to Ron's hundreds of women.
