Getting sued for helping out

[barrysloate]

May I make a suggestion: how about both of you agree this was a very unfortunate situation, and then move on. No lawsuit, no more contact, just bring it to an end. It's not worth it. Sometimes bad stuff happens to all of us. Life goes on.

Agreed. See Exhibitmans's tag line.

That would just be too simple though...

This is a very tough call. Just don't know whose side to take. The guy who has been here five minutes, whines about $4.00 shipping, brags about a 48 feedback rating in 7 years on ebay and threatens to sue at the drop of a hat or the guy whose posts I have been reading for 3 years or so and seems to be a knowledgeable straight-shooter. Hmmmm.....but I do love a good lawsuit.

Dang people will sue for just about anything...kind of reminds of when a woman sued McDonald's because her coffee was too hot a few years ago haha.
Good luck with your "lawsuit".

Not for nothing, but the coffee lawsuit had some merit and it's not just my opinion..it is the opinion of many legal scholars. What gets reported in the press and the truth aren't always the same.

The damning evidence against McDonalds was they actually did a business case analysis and decided that the money they would save by keeping the coffee hotter and therefore fresher longer would offset any legal losses they would incur because the coffee was too hot to drink. That didn't make the jury very happy.

And if anyone questions my inside information I will immediately sue Archive for liable and slather.

True...I gues McDonald's was kind of at fault for not putting labels on thier coffee.
On another note, man did I make a ton of typos haha. Dang is it hard to type on a iPhone.

I'm not taking sides in the case, but know that McDonald had been specifically warned multiple times beforehand by health officials that their coffee was too hot and could cause injury to customers. From personal experience, I remember back in college that McDonald's had by far the hottest coffee in the biz. It always seemed like it was three degree below boiling.

The cajones award goes to Andrew for publishing his name and address. I'm too paranoid to even use my real name. I feel like I should send him a gift or something.
Looks around the room for some sort of token......
