Yes- there are a bajillion reasons that a person settles a lawsuit. It may or may not be related to the allegations/charges at all.
Here’s 3
Costs
Time/effort expended
Settlement strategy
If you need me to elaborate I’m happy to do so.
But I’m still waiting for the citation that proves your sides claim.
Let’s stop pussyfooting around this.
We’re not talking about theoretical reasons theoretical people settle theoretical lawsuits.
We’re talking about the Gateway Pundit settling a lawsuit by removing all references of claims against these women and posting a retraction that they are innocent.
IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE, are you telling me that you believe these actions are unrelated to the lawsuit?
I think your claim is “theoretical.” Just cite what I’m asking for.
Look- I worked for a guy that would get sued all the time…. Sometimes he would settle because the cost of litigation was higher than the actual potential verdict award.
Sometimes people settle because they want to focus on their core business?
You can call these “theoretical” but they happen every single day.
So I’m asking again- just simply cite where they admitted to lying. Stop dancing around. Just find, copy, paste please.
And sometimes people settle because they saw a judgment awarded against Rudy Giulinani to the tune of $150 million.
Look, you can keep asking me to cite where Hoft admitted he was lying. I’m not sure why you keep asking me since I don’t think I ever made that claim. I don’t think Hoft would ever willingly admit to any of his multitude of lies.
What I AM saying is real people are paying out real money for defaming these two ladies. Not only is Hoft one of them, but he removed his lies, which we can admit is one of the concessions to satisfy the lawsuit settlement, and he also went further and posted that they were innocent.
EVERYBODY understands what that means. Even you. Even when playing dumb.
I asked Warden and you decided to pinch hit for him for some reason.
The “reason” is because you’re pretending like you have no idea why Jim Hoft removed those articles or posted that those ladies were innocent.
Look, you can cite legal strategies if you want, but the strategy earns people the right to say he was wrong. He posted what everybody says are lies, and in the face of a lawsuit he unposted those lies and made a correction. There’s only one way to read that from a reputational/credibility perspective.
Jim Hoft wrote a check his butt couldn’t cash. Period.
Point blank! End of discussion.
Point blank…Dickriding cheerleader ^^
Funny shit here from the board’s resident technacilty/nuance alarmist^^^…And the master of playing dumb/keeping it vague.
Good stuff.
Exactly. He and Warden constantly try to win debates on technical language or precise definitions, etc… Now it’s not important lol
Glad someone understood the point I was making.
I guess skeeter’s pretending now too?
Or is skeeter not giving any opinion besides everybody else being cunts? That’s a shocker.
Pretending what?
Also since you mentioned, yes you are teetering very close to cuntish territory.
Still no citation. Go Canes!!!
Pretending like the Gateway Pundit didn’t get caught in a lie, or at least caught spreading information they couldn’t prove.
I’ll ask you point blank skeeter, what do you think it means when a new site gets sued and then part of the settlement includes removing said stories and also posting a retraction that the ladies are actually innocent. What do you think this says about the original stories?
It’s non-pertinent what I think it means. I honestly don’t give a fuck…I’m just pointing out that GSC is not doing anything that you don’t do on this site CONSTANTLY.
GSC was asking for a citation of Hoft lying. I said I never claimed he was, just that he wrote a check his butt couldn’t cash. Either you disagree or you don’t.
Or I don’t know/don’t care…So I don’t speak. Novel idea right?
I’m speaking on your behavior, not some Hoft dude that I don’t know who he is?
Next…
Yup, my behavior of saying that Hoft wrote a check he couldn’t cash. Good thing you don’t know who he is. We’d all like to hear more of your thoughts about him.
Why? I don’t know who he is…Therefore I can’t offer much. Which is why I can’t comment on him. Get it?
