I have advice. But not legal advice. Just strategy.

1.) Has he served you with papers yet? If not, wait 2 more weeks and if you hear nothing, it's probably a dead issue.

2.) You posted a public appology.

3.) Just because someone sues you, doesn't mean they are going to win. I don't know all the facts of the case, but it seems to me that if he is running around claiming to be THE authority of Alchemy and the Hermetic Arts, then he would need to PROVE that he is if he wishes to win because you said he wasn't. I'd like to see that.

4.) The rules on this board do not superscede the laws of the land. If he can prove you libaled him, then you're pretty much hosed. However. Don't worry. The usual compensation for a suit like this is usually 1 penny. If he wants more, then he would also have to prove damages. Which I also doubt. If he is the ALL SEEING GRAND POOBAH of the Hermetic Arts, then no amount of shit talking anyone could do could change that. Therefore liabel is thrown out. BUT he would have to PROVE he IS the big cheese. Like I said. I'd like to see how he could do that. What....is he gonna plop a hunk of lead down on the Judge's bench and turn it into gold? Please.

Hogwash.

I would say you have nothing to worry about.

Good luck.


One other thing to consider.....It's not Libel if it's true. ;)

If you can prove what you said was true and he can't prove his case, guess who wins? That's when you do a little thing called "Countersuit". For whatever reason. Make one up. LOL
