Remember this guy? He wants to sue me over ggautoblocker.
I can’t stop laughing.
It’s finally happening.
Yo, dude? You might want to see what claims I made vs the IGDA, because they are often confused.
He sent me an email stating he’d like to see a response before pursuing legal action. Well, here’s your response: bring it. You aren’t going to silence me. You aren’t going to get removed from the block list. I don’t capitulate to legal threats. I’m fully ready to take this to court, and I’m perfectly willing to take donations for a legal fund to defend everyone’s right to not listen to your bullshit. I’m sure I won’t have any problems funding a response.
The basis for his legal action is: “Under the law of England and Wales, a defamatory statement is one which tends to lower the claimant in the estimation of right thinking members of society generally (Sim v Stretch [1936] 2 All ER 1237).” So to succeed, he has to prove that people thought he an allright sort of guy before Randi’s bot. Then after Randi’s bot, people started to think less of him? This is what happens when you get your legal advice from Law & Order than proper lawyers.

https://twitter.com/MarksLarks/status/577954545885671425 — Mark Stephens, CBE, big-time free speech solicitor in the UK, just said if you sent him an email and explained what’s going on, he’d take a look. http://www.howardkennedy.com/people/mark-stephens/ has his contact information. He’s an incredible person, and might be able to make this go away with a method that will make a profound impact on those who might otherwise try again.
Best of luck.

I don’t use the blocker, but this prompted me to donate.

Can I sue Grimachu for having horribly short-sighted, unexamined views which support his delusions of grandeur and importance and sharing them so often and so irritatingly?

I think I broke my eyes from rolling them too hard. Can I sue Grimdope for my medical expenses?
