I will never understand why people waste their money suing a gossip website.
Pride is a terrible sin, my friend. Some people allow it to consume them, to the point that to us, regular mortals, it seems more akin to frenzied madness. Unfortunately, such people are more common than I'd like, it's simply that the widespread access to the Internet has painted a much larger target on their fragile egos.
 
I love how she looks like she's about to just slap a tit on that steak. That poor steak...

Anyway, any kiwi's read any of Fatrick's books? How do they rate? Better or worse than L Ron Hubbard?
I've read excerpts and his writing is dogshit. If humans having sex with alien children is up your alley, give Patrick's Ark series a shot. It's like an SFWA meeting... IN SPACE!

"Bending the knee" and "Complying with a valid US court order" are not the same thing. Why exactly should cloud flare defy a valid court order?
This subpoena was issued by the attorneys for the plaintiff, who, as you might guess, does not have CloudFlare's best interests at heart. The information requested is most likely stuff they are neither obligated nor would desire to release to a random dude suing unrelated parties, and they aren't likely to just give it up without at least putting up some defense. It is a "valid court order", but it's one that you are always permitted to question the validity of, and, as a normal course of action, people frequently do.

Or, in short, they don't have to defy anything. They just have to ask Tomlinson to justify why he needs the information, and why they should give it to him. Courts are never a 100% guarantee, but it's pretty likely that will be enough by itself to quash it.

They should quite simply declare it vexatious and if they choose to comply, request attorney fees from whatever white shoe law firm they have for reviewing and complying with 60 utterly frivolous subpoenas, or invite this jackass to narrow the subpoena to something reasonable. Okay, our lawyers charge $500 an hour. It'll take them about 100 hours to go through all this bullshit.

This bozo has essentially advertised himself to the court as an asshurt freak who is harassing innocent third parties over whatever the fuck he's complaining about. Who even is this loser? I've never even heard of him. Are there seriously 60 people here who even know who this retard is?

@Leonard Helplessness counted in his lolcow thread. He'd had a total of 39 posters in that thread prior to the lolsuit, and I'd say at least half the comments were about how he's fat and/or the living embodiment of the Internet Tough Guy stereotype. Neither of which are exactly actionable statements.

AFAIK, the bulk of his "fame", such as it is, is being one of those guys who sent nasty tweets at Trump all the time, which got him a lot of likes for, y'know, saying nasty things about Trump. I guess he wrote some bad sci-fi, too, but it's mostly the nasty tweets.

I find it difficult to imagine any author with such a myopic view of good, bad, and the world in general could ever manage to create an interesting Sci fi world with anything approaching nuance.

But that does sound like an entertaining read.

And thats why @anonimous is in the suit. Because they commented.

I'm sure CloudFlare are just giddy at the thought of spending $600 an hour on lawyers to get in the middle of an Internet pissing contest. I'm sure they are just foaming at the mouth to spend tens of thousands of dollars because some fat retard is is MATI.
