I can only imagine that the lawyer in question is making bank or enjoying the publicity, and either way we're willingly giving it to him. I think the thread of this story has wandered into trivial territory. It's not as if we need to see every detail of every frivolous lawsuit. Edit: He's got a book and some really wonky websites. His ebook is here: http://sex.comchronicles.com http://sex.comchronicles.com Amazon has it here, some of the reviews are telling: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1439201013 http://www.amazon.com/dp/1439201013 It's subtitled titled "A White Hat Lawyer's Journey to the darkside of the internet" He's definitely got the attention-seeking symptoms going on. I don't think gawking at zany lawyers is a good use of the front-page.

Every so often, a celebrity has some sort of seeming meltdown. An ugly divorce, a strange rant about cops or Jews, or an interview where they do something so bizarre that all the celeb gossip for the next week is focused on them. Sometimes they really relish it, and try to stay in the limelight as long as possible. I get the same impression from this guy. At this point, it's no longer about the FJ defamation suit, or about winning in court. It's gotta be about getting his name out there, maybe trying to generate some book sales or link juice back to his site. We on HN don't care about people jumping on Oprah's couch; let's give this guy the same treatment.
