Edit: Also, if she wasn't, why did she get so defensive? Most people would shrug it off, especially when someone posts it on the internet, and especially someone in ANOTHER STATE. JMO |

I think someone, somewhere is going to look at this, cock their eyebrow and go WTF and overturn it. This should have been thrown out in the beginning IMO. |

You know, I read some really interesting content here, at BBR. And replies (aka vents) are amusing, some are rants, most informative, and others just plain "forum" talk.
But yesterday, I read a reply to TKJunkmail (I don't know him/her personally, and don't always agree with TK's posts) and was rather disturbed that someone actually wrote him as a "jerk". Come on people, grow up or logoff. Or be sued!
Not seeing agreement is one thing, and you can argue that, but this woman's point can be taken from the fact that "we are a litigious" society evermore.
Sue you. Sue everybody.
So, is her point valid (?), and now she arrogantly sets forth a precedent for others to sue because "i-sticks and i-stone can break my i-bones, but your flames can make me millions!"
"... in the name of justice!" I would love to read the context of the actually dialog!

Since Scheff is a manager/corporate owner, calling her a "fraud" and a "con artist" is directly relevant to her occupation. As such, the decision is not entirely absurd in the face of existing laws. If Bock knew she was not a sham and maliciously attempted to hurt Scheff by spreading such rumors, he would be liable (though hardly for $11.3 million in damages). That said, it IS absurd that the judge was somehow convinced that Bock KNEW Scheff was "good" at her job and tried to defame her anyway. Obviously, Bock believes Scheff is a criminal and was trying to warn others. As such, I am bewildered both at the staggering numbers (which Bock cannot afford) and the finding in general. |

this isnt surprising, we live in a country where you can sue somebody for burning yourself on hot coffee, or eating at McDonald's all the time and sue somebody because you cant fasten your seatbelt. ah yes, the american legal system, isnt it great? |

This is the biggest load of bullshit ever, why should she even deserve one penny of that? What offended her? She needs to grow some cajones and learn you have to deal with these types of people on the internet. |

Read the article. She had a case. If it affects business/reputation, slandel, libel, and defamation can be done. Not easy, but done. |

If someone effects your profitability by posting lies accusing you of crimes, you should be due compensation.
