It seems like at the very least this could be done with the clearly meritless cases Null is dealing with.

Surely a frivolous suit is frivolous even if it's filed pro se.

It's supposed to be. When filing in forma pauperus and pro se they are supposed to be subject to a review for "is there even a claim here?". The problem is that review more often than not fails to happen and is simply rubber stamped.

The actual solution is to make the court itself responsible for making the defendant whole if they permit pro se in forma pauperis. Take it out of their circuit budgets and make the bailiffs take on the job of shaking it out of the vexatious litigant.

The first article was written months ago and published to MATI but I republished it after writing this one so that this would make more sense to an unfamiliar audience.

Cope, seethe, dilate.

Idk if you have already looked into this, but have you considered a GiveSendGo campaign? People have used them for legal expenses before. If they allow J6ers, they probably wouldn't kick you off.

I still hold the opinion that if he hasn't already, Null needs to contact William J.J. Hoge and Aaron Worthing, and ask them how they handled the lolsuits filed by Brett 'Speedway Bomber' Kimberlin and Bill 'I don't have brain damage, really!' Schmalfeldt. Very similar situation with retards lobbing pro-se and in forma pauperis lawsuits.

As to the solution... I'm not sure. 'Loser pays' might be a good start, though people will argue 'but that lets deep pockets just bury lawsuits'. Yeah, but that's happening now. Judges are not doing their due diligence in looking at these lawsuits and going 'What the fuck is this shit?'. And the problem's been going on for a long time -- I recall John Stossel complaining about it 20+ years ago. You don't even need to be a lawyer; you just need to know enough of how the legal system works and you can fucking terrorize people.

John and Aaron did it by finding lawyers to help pro bono. Plus they didn't fold. Josh is doing it exactly the same way. Plus Kimberlin is actually more vulnerable in some ways than Melinda. They managed to make Brett realize it would be more advantageous to stop dragging them into things. It took years though. Years.

Schmalfeldt was a bit different. He is more like Melinda in a way. But we eventually did what was necessary there, again with pro bono assistance. It involved embarrassing the hell out of him. That plus Trump became more of a target to him so we let him rant and rave about TDS into the void. We still keep tabs on him to this day.

>My users would probably buy a vinyl press of Yo, Yovanna! and it would be good fun.

Not going to lie, would buy this in a heart beat for a merchandise run.

Feel for you Null, please consider some sort of merch or other donation drive to raise funds if things start getting dicey.

I would absolutely buy some sort of collection of Russell Greer's works if the money went to the farms. Bonus points if it's in a physical format I can proudly display next to my signed Taylor Swift CDs.

Pretty good write up. I'm not too familiar with zerohedge but are they sympathetic towards the plight of humble webmasters? The last two seem to hit close with zh with how they've apparently been banned off sites in the past and rely on crypto payments to keep it running. Either way good job on another published article.

ZH is okay. They publish some decent stuff between ads for gold.

This is the legal version of an insane homeless man repeatedly telling the police that you beat him up; and the police shrugging and going around to arrest you, every single time he tells the lie. It's fucking absurd that retards can utilize the mechanisms of law to bury you because you annoy them.

And while I understand the desire to give everyone an opportunity at the legal system, it seems obvious that discretion ought to be used in the same way cops can use discretion in a situation like you describe.

It's absurd that repeat abusers of the system don't get informally recognized and held to a higher standard in future filings.
