- michaeldhopkins 16y agoI don't know whether proof is needed, but this isn't proof that any judges are reasonable. This is just one ruling from one judge. It could be his first reasonable ruling.

- shasta 16y agoWhat?? This patently frivolous litigation went on for TWO YEARS and cost over a HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS and you think this is proof that the legal system is reasonable?
- epoxyhockey 16y agoD. 1. c. ii.: Plaintiff’s Delay In Turning Over His Listserv Post This case easily could have been resolved on a motion to dismiss had Plaintiff disclosed the content of his listserv post at the outset. By withholding disclosure of this information until August 2010 (see RW Mot., Farrell Decl. 2), Plaintiff substantially prolonged this litigation.
- isleyaardvark 16y agoHow can a plaintiff delay disclosing something like that to the defendants or the court for so long?
- geebee 16y agoIt all depends on what you mean by "the law". If you simply look at the law as a legal ruling, it often (though not always) seems reasonable. However, if you look at "the law" as the process of getting to that ruling, it often seems horrendously unreasonable. To me, the great failures of the legal system usually aren't the decisions it hands down, it's the way the brutally expensive and lengthy process itself can be used to gain leverage and/or coerce other people.
