SUE FR OVER SCAMDY
Look...all we have to do is to make them bankrupt. If we just sue them, and drag it out...if we win, we can take their asses down and put Ribjob and his thug friends on the streets selling pencils for quarters.

At worst, we can take their site down through endless legal proceedings.

1. What?
On what grounds could you sue FR?

And does it not bother you to suggest exploiting Andy's death for quasi-political gain?

4. Goldmund. I'm not a lawyer. You could sue then for slander.
This is not for quasi-political gain! I only knew Andy from this site and saw him on a TV program. But I am very angry over their allegations against Andy! It's personal!

6. I agree re. scamdy.com people
if there is a case, it's against them.

I fail to see how that extrapolates into a case against FR.

10. It's sounds like there are so many things we could sue them
about. It's just a matter of formulating something.

8. I understand, man
But how does a case, such as it is, against the people who run scamdy.com translate into a case against FR?

11. WTF are you talking about?
Haven't you read any of these posts. People are up in arms. This isn't about politics. It's about justice. Get a grip.

12. Which posts?
Edited on Fri Jul-08-05 10:52 AM by Goldmund
If you're talking about Scamdy.com, those fuckers are scum. I don't know if there's a legal case or not, but my question concerns how this gets translated to a case against FR, and WHY it gets translated into a case against FR, other than for the fact they are our political adversaries.

I understand your reaction over Andy right now. It's a horrible situation. I am sad too.

But honestly.... Andy passed away from a staph infection, not because of scamdy or any of those other assholes. It's a huge loss for all of us. Just like someone said earlier KARMA IS A BITCH!

The best way to keep Andy's memory alive is to fight for his cause in fair balloting. With this anger we all have inside us, just think what we could do?

7. I really wish Karma worked
I really wished those who deserved retribution got the justice they deserved

But I just don't... :cry:

9. I understand...
I just think that this is kind of a pipe dream. Those assholes didn't cause Andy's death, an infection did. Even if his surgery was delayed, it really dosen't matter, he passed on another matter entirely.

Like I said... in Andy's memory, we continue to fight for fair balloting practices.

And karma is really a good thing... you wait. It'll come! :)

2. With whose huge pile of money?
It will cost a LOT to pursue such a suit.

If you HAVE a huge pile of money laying around I can put you in touch with the right people.

Failing that, you need a pro-bono lawyer and a smaller pile of money.

3. Wishful Thinking
It would be nice, but it's not going to happen. We would bankrupt ourselves in the process.
