Don't understate the serious amount of wrongdoing on Gawker's part in that lawsuit. After that giant, public "we're not going to obey the court order we were just given" article, there's no way in hell Gawker was planning on wining the lawsuit. My guess is they were planning on out-spending Hogan and pushing a settlement on him when he ran out of money.
It wasn't until much later that they found out they wouldn't be able to buy their way out of trouble.
- John23832 10y agoI'm not saying that Gawker was right. They were very wrong. But this is not the type of justice that should be doled out. It does more harm to us as a society than good. I do think that there should have been serious repercussions for Gawker. I can't say what those should have been. But I know that this wasn't the right route to take.
- dilemma 10y agoWhat you're saying is that you would have preferred that Gawker's strategy of outspending Hogan had worked, so that not only would he have had his privacy violated and reputation ruined, but he should also be bankrupt. That's your justice.
