Twitter Court: You can’t make this stuff up.

Posted on by

giphy2Schmalfeldt is out on the Twitterz again talking about defamation law.  In his tweet, he posts several images of text where he underlines all the parts he says supports his new LOLSuit VIII: Avoiding Contact.

I looked up his images to see where they came from.   It didn’t take long.  And when it came up, here is what’s at the top of the page:

When I searched for the article, I saw this in the list:

This article is almost NINE years old.

Well, new court cases and precedent have been set in defamation cases since then, and the fact he didn’t check the veracity of his sources speaks volumes since the very top of the site, on every page, explains why he shouldn’t rely on it’s accuracy.

What is even more hilarious:  His interpretation of the various statements he underlines while ignoring the other statements that discount what he’s trying to push.

As far as the WordPress subpoenas, he tweeted this earlier today..

 

Let’s just say, this isn’t going to go quite the way he thinks.

  1. Subpoenas
    THE CLERK OF COURT CANNOT GIVE PRO SE PARTIES BLANK SUBPOENAS. If you want the court to issue subpoenas, you must submit a motion explaining who you want to subpoena and why. Please file the motion at least two weeks before you will need the subpoenas. You will need to have the subpoena served in accordance with FRCP Rule 45. Expenses related to the subpoena, such as witness fees, mileage costs, and copying costs, are to be paid by the person requesting the subpoena. See FRCP Rule 45.

    • “Witness fees” — those would be the hourly charges of all the techs WordPress would involve in fulfilling the request, if they don’t take it to court to have it turned out immediately.

      Plus, there’s the question of why the court would grant subpoenas for the identities of people not named in the complaint. And whether, if they did, those subpoenas would withstand the inevitable challenges — especially since it’s clear the intent is to uncover identities in order to harass people.

      it also has this little jewel:
      IF YOU LOSE
      BEFORE filing a lawsuit, you should consider the possible consequences of losing. Under some circumstances, the winning party may ask the court to order you to pay his/her/its attorneys’ fees. The winning party is also entitled to seek certain costs that it incurs during the lawsuit, such as witness fees, copying costs, and the costs of deposition transcripts. In some cases, these costs can easily add up to thousands of dollars. It is common for a winning party to seek its costs from the losing party.
