A warning on internet stalkers.

[Daisy]

Still not sure where any of that gives an acceptable reason for your allegations agains Gob in respect to his job?

Do you want to explain why you thought that it was an acceptable course of action?

[oldr_n_wsr]

Second: Among the definitions of cyber-stalking is 'monitering', AKA 'keeping tabs'.

So, keeping tabs of when you are on this site, not of where you are when you are on this site (as that would entail following you around as mnay, many places have hot spots). So all your ambulance chasers legal team need is the info of when you were on this site and when PMSP was on this site. Seems pretty straight forward available to any passing observer who bothers to register. Again, why the need to harrass Hen and Gob via your ambulance chasers legal team? If they were really worth their salt, they could have just made up a handle, searched each of your identities and found out if/when PMSP might have been "keeping tabs" on you.

Paranioa (sp?) is seeping in.

My guess is the ambulance chasers legal team sees how that a gov agency might want to settle out of court for mere pennies rather than go through a suit that has no case, no evidence and no chance at success. Sort of like throwing shit (<---dammit cursed again) against the wall and seeing what sticks, or who's willing to cough up a few bucks. In the meantime you have brought shame, not to Gob and Hen, but to yourself for this outrageous action.

Take care of your real life. If there is a real life stalker, the authorities can and will handle it. In the mean time, give it up here on PlanB. You will find no sympathy and even less evidence of your claim.

Sorry loCAtek but you are delusional in your claims against this board and ALL it's members.

Second: Among the definitions of cyber-stalking is 'monitering', AKA 'keeping tabs'.

And where among the definitions of cyber-stalking does, "data mining information about someone's employer and filing a bogus, harassing complaint against them" fall?

I suspect it's in there somewhere....

[Andrew D]

Yes, we are also counselors, and one of the greatest services an attorney can provide is objective advice, but I wouldn't consider that advice neutral. Certainly not as compared to the neutral position of a mediator/arbitrator.

In what way are we, as counselors, not neutral?

Suppose that I am asked by the paintiff in P v. D to assess the merits of the case.

Suppose that I am asked by the defendant in P v. D to assess the merits of the case.

Shouldn't my assessments of the merits of the case be identical, regardless of which party has asked me for an assessment?

[Sean]

Now I'm no lawyer as you know Andrew...

But I would imagine that you would look at a case differently with a defendant as a client than you would if hired by the other side. Sure, the facts of the case remain the same but surely part of your job would be to use those facts to the best advantage of your client...

Perspective is everything when it comes to neutrality... You would need to talk to both parties (probably simultaneously) to achieve a true unbiased perspective.


Well it made sense in my head...

[MajGenl.Meade]

... nor do I play one on television but...

Shouldn't my assessments of the merits of the case be identical, regardless of which party has asked me for an assessment?

No, you will favour the one with the most money to hand over

[oldr_n_wsr]

Perspective is everything when it comes to neutrality...

I believe Einstein came up with that.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Well he did work in a Swiss patent office

[Sean]

No he didn't oldr, the thieving bastard!

He nicked my theory about the effects of recreational drugs on DJs too...

[oldr_n_wsr]

I think that was Timothy Leary.

Andrew, I think we are talking past each other. In the fist instance, I'm talking about in the case of representing one of the parties, as distinct from being an outside neutral (and I thought I made that clear in my response above). While I think you're speaking solely about being on the outside, not representing either.

oldr -- seriously, leave off the ambulance chaser bit, its not at all funny.

Sorry.

I just see where the firm contacted (by loCAtek) might be thinking that there is a possible payday just by accusing. That maybe the gov would pay just to "be done with it". I can't imagine where the merits of the case (or lack thereof as far as I can see) would result in even a phone call let alone a complaint filed.

Again, I'm sorry, I don't dislike lawyers. I have a few friends who are lawyers and one who is the ADA in Suffolk county here on LI. Iknow their services are invaluable when needed.

Feel free to make fun of us engineers. I won't take it personally nor professionally. I'll most likely see the humor in it and laugh along.

If that were anything close to how civil litigation actually works, I could have retired 10 years ago.

Frankly, me neither.

Right or wrong there is a perception out there in that is how it works. While I have sat on civil suits (seems the only jury duty I get called for) and know things work a differently, the stigma still persists especially when you see all the law firm commercials saying "you deserve this money and we'll get it for you".

[The Hen]

Is it usual for lawyers to have a client lodge their complaint using an on-line complaints form?

I haven't had dealings with Lo's chosen firm, but I would have thought most lawyers lodging a complaint would do it themselves rather than direct their client to how they can do it without them?

Exactly, as to both points.

Hen, I think the point of the HCC form is that anyone can file a complaint with the HCCC, and its up to them to review and handle. No attorney needed. That complaint form is something different from a "complaint" which (at least in the US) is a document filed with the court and served on the defendant, that the plaintiff files to initiate a civil suit. Of course, no attorney is needed to file a complaint in a civil court either, any one can represent themselves, pro se, and file such a document with the court.

[Sean]

Precisely. I do not believe for one minute that there is an attorney involved here. Lo just made the mistake of plucking the most unlikely firm possible (with the possible exception of Conveyancing Works) from google.

Maybe their name sounded impressive...

[The Hen]

When you type "NSW Lawyers" in google, Maurice's site is the first paid advertisement that pops up. Not saying anything else but .... That's interesting.

[Sean]

Same result for ACT lawyers...
