The DOES 1-50 is copy and paste, boiler plate legal language that you will find on practically any complaint for damages in CA. There are variations (1-10, 1-100, 1-10, 1-25) that are ultimately meaningless. You will find them everywhere. I made a post to that effect earlier. So far as discovery...let's consider that. The specific defamatory acts that Ralph is being sued for are listed in paragraphs 8, 9, and 10 on the complaint. The version
@SekturKing
posted appears to be a true and accurate copy. Only those complaints are a part of the suit and nothing outside of the specific actions listed in those paragraphs. Ralph has already admitted to making the statements, but contends that he did not make the statements out of malice, or thought they were otherwise true. Think about it. Since I can already prove that the statements Ralph made are untrue, why in the sweet shit would I want to go digging into anything? My discovery process will most likely be limited to simple interrogatories before moving to a trial, before it takes that long. In reality, Ralph will be the one who would need to produce communications to prove that he had reason to believe what he said was true, or that what he said was not malicious. There is no benefit or reason for me to get his private communications, and even if I tried, he'd be able to quash such a request easily because such a request would only go to benefit his case...not mine. As such, the only person in the suit to benefit from showing private communications would be Ralph, as part of his affirmative defense(s). But those communications will not cut it...he'd have to provide a witness to give testimony. I don't see that happening, do you? The anonymity of a-logs and Gunt Guard alike HELP me in this case, not Ralph. I have zero incentive to bring anyone else into it. As for any reference to EsoShaggy, that guy is a raging fucktard. But I stopped using Poast quite a bit before I ever filed the lawsuit. I've no intention of calling you an idiot, because at least you were trying to reason through it. In any case, at some level, it doesn't matter. Nothing said online will stop how the case will proceed, and at the end of it, when none of the crazy shit
@SekturKing
is saying actually happens. There is one very important factor to support my (true) narratives...but that would be stupid to share and tip my hand to opposition.
