Amiga Inc. has returned to the court, backed up with legal representation, new evidence and testimonies. With these resources, the defendant Amiga Inc. has managed to come up with a response to plaintiff's motion to modify order granting specific performance, no less than six declarations, and a certificate of service.
The names of those who have filed a declaration are:
Barrie J. Moss AKA "Fleecy" (Amiga Inc.), Evert Carton (Hyperion), Garry Hare (KMOS), Ray A. Akey (Amiga Inc.) and Bill McEwen (Amiga Inc.).
Furthermore, Ray A. Akey filed 11 new exhibits (exhibit A-J) along with his declaration, which are recurringly refered to throughout these new case filings.

Amiga vs Thendic Update: Amiga is Back! : Comment 85 of 129 | ANN.lu |

I think it was rash and stupid of BBRV to submit an unvalidated forum post as evidence in a case before a court of law. Likewise it's rash and stupid to assume that something is a fake just because somebody says so in a comment on an Internet forum. To go from there and accuse the submitter of the "evidence" with perjury and fabrication of proof is highly idiotic.
Cheesegrate doesn't use the trusted user system here. It could have been anybody. The IP was traced to cheesegrate? No, it was "traced" (the hostname looked up) to one unidentifiable computer connected to the 'net by an Australian ISP.
I do believe cheesegrate posted the joke e-mail, I do believe it was cheesegrate that said it was a fake. I have no reason to doubt this, and this is not my point. The thing is that confessions typed on a messageboard (and it was on Moobunny, not ANN, IIRC) by a person whose only identifiable characteristics are an IP address and a nickname are worthless for trying to prove to a court that BBRV "should've known" that it was all a fake. Fleecy's sworn declaration that he didn't do it should be enough, and IMO BBRV should've asked him first. It's the only reliable validation, as far as I can see ("fleecy" and "reliable" in the same sentence, and yet the universe didn't implode!). Akey saying that he's been in contact with cheesegrate is meaningless to the court, I'd believe, unless he can produce that correspondence. It's funny that some cognitively challenged people now accuse cheesegrate for being "BBRV's crony" and having done it on BBRV's orders (what for? To make BBRV appear stupid before the court?), and at the same time as they accept cheesegrate's word that it's a fake they also refuse to accept cheesegrate's word that he did it all on his own.
Hm, this post feels like a waste of time. I've forgotten if I had a point somewhere. Maybe it was something about an Internet joke blown up to hysterical proportions. :)
My post was no dissing of AInc, BTW. They're fully capable of producing disrespect on their own. |
