The Problem With Making Idle Threats of Defamation Suits

[Bret Cahill]

If a disreputable fraud doesn't like a messenger exposing him as a
disreputable fraud, which, of course is exactly what a fraud hates
most, then the fraud will often make idle threats of a defamation
action against the messenger.

After all, a disreputable fraud will threaten anything he thinks will
stop the free speech that is exposing him as a fraud.

The problem with making idle threats is that if the fraud doesn't
carry through on his threats and retain a shyster lawyer and sue -- an
honest lawyer ain't gonna take the case -- then everyone will assume
that the messenger was telling the truth about the fraud all along.

So the dunces on sci.electronics.basics trying to fake a thermo or
engineering background _better_ march their disreputable fannies down
to small claims court Monday morning with court fees and some papers
in hand.

And try to make it look legal. Sprinkle in a lot of "estoppels" and
"wherefors."

We could be on the Judge Judy show.

If she suspects you're a disreputable liar, she'll just tell everyone
in the country you're a disreputable liar.
