<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 1282502, member: 4920"]Now let's keep this respectable. I'm a longstanding lurker and occasional poster on those forums and I know enough to know what you don't want to ask over there. The last I heard it they got dismissed out of federal court for failure to have served the complaint on any of the named defendants within the three months and a three-month extension of time allotted for that. In other words, they just filed, made their headlines, then disappeared. Without more, I'm starting to think that was just a publicity stunt. Had they served any of the named defendants they'd have opened the door to defamation counterclaims, and, I'd have to think, their lawyers were aware of at least that much. By failing to pull the trigger, so to speak, they made it the more expensive for the named defendants to get justice and clear their names for the defamatory allegations in the complaint. In the last thread I read over there on the subject, I believe somebody suggested they "settled out of court" with these named defendants, and I have a little trouble accepting that as anything better than wishful thinking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
