Dawkins sues Josh Timonen

[cowiz]

Presupposing the old accusations made, not in the least nor in the lowest tone, by the Blue Butterfly, regarding Josh's immeasurable technical incompetence along with the fact that it was only rationalia.com (a small fish in the pond, no offense) that was affected, I'm inclined to think it was coincidental and that Pawiz is paranoid.

Oh, guess I missed it.

Meanwhile, on a tangential but possibly related note, was the culprit responsible for having Rationalia listed as an "attack website" located? Only that happening at this time has a certain rodential odour to it ...

The malware attack has been an ongoing issue since October 11. A coincidence, I think.

Hmm, how come it only struck me about 8 hours ago? I'm sure I've posted here between October 11th and today, and I'm certain I've browsed Rationalia more than once between the relevant dates.

I just want to make a brief but important point here: Richard wouldn't be taking Josh to court if he could have managed to settle it out of court with him. His lawyers would have advised no less. This is, with a high degree of probability, something that has been escalated to this level due to a failure to resolve the matter at lower levels - a failure either for Josh to concede to Richard, or convince him of his case. And Richard wouldn't have raised it to this level unless he felt that he did have a case, and was aggrieved enough to push it.

I don't find it plausible that Timonen is entirely innocent, and that the case against him is built merely on hearsay and gossip, or someone in RDF's poor arithmetic. Even if he is eventually deemed LEGALLY in the clear - I would be extremely surprised to see him "vindicated" in any other real sense of the word…

It's been intermittent ... see the Malware warning on homepage thread. I've linked to two other threads on the problem there.

Well that was an interesting read. All I could think of was cha ching, cha ching. So far RD has probably spent about 20K in legal fees to produce that document and this is just the beginning.

I can't believe Dawkins and RDF didn't insist on seeing the books of the store - a financial report of the store would be SOP at any board meeting. The fact that this went on for almost four years without one demand for an accounting is very sloppy indeed.

A most brilliant scientist, but he doesn't seem to have a clue about how to manage business affairs.

Almost a million bucks they're claiming they're owed!!
