I would like to point out that I was sued for the phrase "gaming the system" over a year before the EFF was. Therefore, I contend I hold the SLAPP copyright to this statement and am entitled to the resulting victim-hood and all the resulting benefits.(Or maybe I mean trademark. Patent? When I have the opportunity, I call an opportunistic lawyer and find out.)
Speaking of censorious lawsuits, my attorney is busy appealing expedited recovery requests for privileged materials and restraining orders/preliminary injunctions against future speech. The Connor Group v. Raney was discussed on Techdirt before because of the $1.6M they claimed in damages. That same case still marches on. There is activity and urgency to throw obstacles in my way to cause me to trip into some sort of summary judgement. It may because of the complaints I started filing with Ohio Commerce, HUD, and Ohio Development Services Agency. The former landlord that is suing me just built a small $16M palace on airport taxpayer land with taxpayer loans. The trouble is that with these loans and incentives, you agree not to break any laws. I've been FOIA'ing my ass off. Trouble is that all these spurious motions are eating up my time. You don't need a PACER account if you want to read thru the motions. http://www.clerk.co.montgomery.oh.us/pro/
I just tried this in Chrome and FF. Recap recognizes Pacer login and shows existing Recap docs. It does not upload anything though. The Chrome extension has a review that it hasn't worked since Oct '14.
So you added 'To me' to your statement. There's nothing stopping me from truncating your statement, filing a complaint, and punishing you with legal fees. We both seem to have the similar view of the system. You chose to live within the system and shape your conduct around it. I chose to challenge it and accept the cost. You come on here and deride me because you've done the mental calculation already that you can afford to do it.
To me, this is a story of a real estate firm out of touch with its tenants some two or three levels down,
Yea, the more I think about this, the more apologetic it sounds. Plausible deniability? Upper management getting ready to jettison peons under the bus as a blame sacrifice to appease the shit storm gods?
'teeter' - this statement implies, maybe threatens, but says nothing
2. for example?
3. Ewww...what have you heard and from who?
4. Yes, it is better to live on ones knees. I will add you to the list of people who advise not sticking to your principles. (However, I do advise not sticking to your principals.)
5. Apologetic tone for the company. Not so much for me. (Or do I really believe that?) The 'ego' part is correct.
6. Again with the 'ego'. Heavy concentration on the messenger. Full disclosure: I'm an asshole. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.
Hi. Defendant here. Your use of numbers does indeed provide a plausible response and is in fact how the company responds. It even goes you one better. They pay select residents to write reviews in order to dilute the residents who are having problems. Of course, I take issue with The Connor Group's and your approach. Amazon screws up your contract and you get your Kindle a few days late. The Connor Group screws up your contract and you (and possible family) are without shelter. Shelter is one of things you generally end up needing about 100% of the days out of the year.

But I want it all and I want it now! I'm up for this project. Thanks for the replies and the work.

And out of curiosity, what do make of the comments of the OSU law school dean and the gentleman from Public Citizen?

...and a man with an ego, who believes he is in the right. Or does he really?
Does this statement 'teeter' on defamation?
