I'm sure someone clued this person in in that this blog just gave his adversaries a huge gift in their lawsuit. Not a smart move at all to publicly announce your own guilt in a case you might want to win.
Regardless of who eventually wins, this blog post comes off as arrogant, juvenile and whiny.
It really wouldn't surprise me if "Donald" wins the case. The author quoted 116 hours and $12k and then failed to deliver, and then acted like a big baby fighting and arguing about it.
The first half of this title sounds terrible ... until you see the second half. "Court Case Alleges" Well, this is the COURT we're talking about, so maybe this is legitimate information. Until you realize that this actually reduces to: "Some guy says (because he think it will get him money)".
Didn't he have a contract which he used to successfully sue the client with? It didn't seem to make any difference.
At the same time I am uneasy with this sort of one-sided public exposure, doesn't feel very professional even if true, and of course without knowing the facts of the matter we don't know whether it is in fact true.
Not a lawyer, but yes, his case was predicated on that the answer was not good enough. It was a non-answer, and hypocritical to boot, given their "AdSense for Domains" offering.
When using three specific words in a page can get you banned for life, basic fairness suggests that they at least tell people what the hell those words are.
Legally he had no standing, but what does that mean for regular people? We can be abused at will because all corporations force us to sign contracts full of weasel words?
> he didn’t seem the least bit fazed by all the negative attention he’s been getting throughout the internets
What is he gonna say? "OMG I'm crapping in my pants over this" Of course he's gonna say he isn't fazed. Lawyers need to have a good poker face or they stand to lose what ever ground they may think they have.
> I saw it linked somewhere, briefly glanced at it, thought "wow, this guy's not fit to be anyone's lawyer", and moved on.
In fairness, the real guy's public statements have had the same effect. I'm not sure a parody account can really be said to have affected the guy's reputation, it's already about as tanked as can be.
I clicked the link, but I see no evidence of an actual lawsuit being filed?
Instead I see a meme forum that glorifies poor decision making, with a post saying "My friend is a lawyer and she says we have a good case?"
Don't get me wrong, I've got my popcorn ready to go on this. But I thought from the title this would be a mod-post with actual details for a real lawsuit, not just some guy saying what people want to hear.
Fair, I should have said something along the lines of "contrary to popular conception of the lawsuits". I haven't actually followed the court documents at all, so I was actually thinking of discussions in mainstream and social media.
