Kind of a tactically defensive sounding statement. The part in all caps makes it sound like they're trying to avoid a defamation countersuit.I hasten to emphasize, however, that the scope of this suit is narrow. Richard Dawkins' only role is as plaintiff in a single cause of action seeking the return of unearned money he personally paid Mr. Timonen. The Foundation's claims seek the return of profits from the sale of merchandise from the Store on the RDF website that defendants failed to remit to RDFRS. NO DIRECT DONATIONS TO THE FOUNDATION OR NON-BELIEVERS GIVING AID HAVE BEEN MISAPPROPRIATED.

Yeah, right, because I'll trust a foundation that so completely mismanaged one of its cash kine to make good use of the money I might donate...

Re: Dawkins sues Josh Timonen
Is anyone even noticing it that much now? It got a couple of mentions in the press, that's it. I think it's mostly the RD community, and the RD refugees who are scattered throughout the web that are paying attention.Gawdzilla wrote:This time next year nobody will even remember this, outside a tight circle of people.Svartalf wrote:Yeah, right, because I'll trust a foundation that so completely mismanaged one of its cash kine to make good use of the money I might donate...
I can't say that Josh's girlfriend is being very smart, advertising everything they are doing on her blog though...
How's going in that pricey little loft of yours guys? Found any new employment yet?

Re: Dawkins sues Josh Timonen
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Are you sure the right-wing faux news will not provide more coverage for this trial than the trials of the Juice?
