  "Your Honor, the actions of Gawker caused emotional distress and irreparable damage to the earnings capability of my client, and thus we seek an award to compensate him for this loss." "Your Honor, we are dropping this claim here, but keeping all the rest intact." "You realize that this means the defendant will have little to no ability to compensate you for the damages you claimed and sought and stated caused you duress?" "... Yes... Your Honor." If you state it's about compensation for lost potential earnings, and such, and say you need to be made whole, then waive away a large part of your practical ability to be made whole, at what point does that become disingenuous?
