Judges Would Never Rule for Men Who Strangle Women or Against Women Who Merely Wrote Articles About Abuse They Had Received From Men
Several NGOs have taken a look and have found interest in the SLAPP culture (using "guns for hire" [1, 2] in London) against us. What fascinates them is the chaining of actions, set aside the notoriety of the firm doing this on Microsoft payroll (the serial strangler was paid by Microsoft; that's a very simple fact and it's important because the notorious firm is truly desperate for cash based on its very own accountants).
As explained a month ago, transparency is important here, but that must be balanced with sensible caution - that which is associated with discussion of pertinent (to a case) details. We think the only time we ever showed any portion of a legal filing (theirs or ours) it was this tiny bit that explains what my wife does [1, 2].
We don't intend to do "trial by media", so we won't be disclosing claims and defences until it's over.
The NGOs have examined the papers (using expertise) and they are firmly on our side. In hindsight this whole thing will be a black eye for Microsoft and a temporary nuisance to us. I've dealt with harsher abuses than this and have friends who go through the same thing just because they do the right thing and write correct things.
7 years ago the charlatan and fraud Shiva Ayyadurai threatened to sue over what I had posted in Diaspora. He had already sued TechDirt and after all those years TechDirt is still doing OK (it wrote a great deal about free speech and censorship after that SLAPP), whereas Ayyadurai pretty much vanished. He paid a lot for his SLAPP. Not only did he send Trump's lawyer to issue threats to us; we believe he also sent some faux journalists from the Boston Globe to spy on me.
Remember you cannot change the world for the better without upsetting some people (it is inevitable and more upsetting when you become effective). And if you upset some people, they will try to hurt you and seek "revenge". They generally reject free speech and justice (as if punching people is a substitute); they stalk, they harass, they libel, and then wish to cover up embarrassing truths after begging and making threats. If they're being quiet about this whole thing, it's because they're shy, not smart. They already said and did too many self-incriminating things. █
