    When I was single the hamper lid was up, that's why.
    Are you going to finish that last piece of pie?

    Alec has upset the youtube hate machine. Not a good move on his part. Another youtube bashing his now deleted video came out tonight. Not a good look at all. Couldn't happen to a slimier creep.

    I am by no means the smartest guy in the room, but I would think that offfering a settlement so soon after filing means AP thinks his case is pretty weak.

    And by "weak" I mean "unwinnable." And by "unwinnable" I mean "laughable" and "ridiculous" and "stupid." :techman:

    Becuase it isn't about winning the case. The case is just to bully RMB into doing what LFIM wants which is for him to shut up about axanar and take down all his videos. That is the goal here - not winning damaages in the lawsuit

    You know, every time I read something like that it amazes me that buffoon Peters keeps calling himself a lawyer. Has he ever actually practiced law?

    LOL - The GOP invokes an article from "Mother Jones" as 'proof' Cohen travelled to Russia when he claimed he didn't. :guffaw:

    It's just the thing with lawsuits. It strikes me that someone who's actually a laywer would know what to do to avoid being sued and know how to file a suit or propose a settlement that makes sense. I may not be a "lawyer-by-training," but from my amateur's seat he seems like a pretty shit lawyer for all his talk.

    Somebody who went through all the time to go to law school and the time it takes to study and pass the bar but never practices law has to be a really bad lawyer.

    OK, thanks for the explanation. I didn't watch the video, but I can pretty much guess how things went down from the comments here. It really does amaze me how good Alec Peters has gotten at alienating people who liked him.
    Yeah, I've never understood the people who hang around on the forums here for shows or movies they don't like just so they can periodically chime in about how stupid it is, and how bad it is, and how only idiots and people with no taste could possibly like it.
    I don't mind people saying they don't like something, but I don't understand why people like that have to constantly derail the conversations of people who do.

    Sorry, it was meant as a joke on the Axanar film, not your post.
