Surely we can all agree that comments at times go too far and that some are edging past decency

I think that most will agree that your comments go way past decency. Your comments are always filled with lies, more lies and ad-hominems

You are the most immoral person who comments on this site.

You are only happy when your corporate pay masters are stealing rights away from the public.

You seem to believbe that anything that your masters do is moral and we are immoral for discussing the antics that they pull]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c1604 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 22:43:30 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c1604

Once again Prenda is about to throw another lawyer under the bus much like it did with Gibbs. While I am of the opinion that Goodhue is up a creek without a paddle due to his tactics (no doubt ordered by John "my poor ego" Steele) in trying to delay in having to answer Judge Snow's questions.

Obviously Judge Snow has picked up the scent of John Steele in this case and matched it's stench to the case that Judge Wright had before him where Prenda had a major fail due to their stupidity and ego in trying to get settlement cash from people.

Besides Goodhue's failure to answer Judge Snow properly with the documents he asked concerning Goodhue's medical episode on the day he was to appear and answer some questions about Prenda shows that Goodhue's attempt is to not be in the situation that Gibbs found himself in in front of Judge Wright.
