Can Anyone Identify This Creepy Stalker?

[Clem_Shady]

Most people do whatever they can to avoid a lawsuit, but there are people who go out of their way to appear before a judge -- over and over and over again.

People who file numerous lawsuits, known as serial litigants, are often motivated by the hopes of winning lots of money or obtaining justice. And according to forensic psychiatrists, in some cases they're also motivated by deep psychological reasons -- paranoia, the need for attention or a belief that only in court will their perceived suffering be validated.

It's become widespread enough that some states are removing serial litigants from the legal system altogether, banning them from filing future suits.

"Serial litigants are ubiquitous," said Dr. Mark Levy, a forensic psychiatrist and professor at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. "Everybody has a right to his day in court, but some people are there for psychological rather than judicial reasons."

Frequent plaintiffs can in some cases sue hundreds of companies and individuals or spend years in court, suing increasing numbers of people related to one or many perceived injustices, Levy said.

"They are usually looking to have what they regard as suffering witnessed on the stage of the court. It is a theatrical enactment," he said. "The remedy in a civil case is typically money, but for these individuals it isn't about the money or justice. It is about having their suffering validated. They want acknowledgment of what they perceive as lifelong suffering."

yeah, that. It's also some interesting , albeit a bit dry, reading about how difficult it is to get even validated social media 'screen evidence' admitted as evidence in court. It has been done in a few rare instances when the source was a site like MySpace or Facebook and it was pictures and/or video that were pertinent.

Pseudonymous posts on a random public forum? never.

I'll have my lawyer present this post to the jury also Bill.

The (formerly) pompous rich guy that thinks money makes him able to do anything that he wants, to include calling people pedophiles in Internet forums.

. Hey..you gotta have a hobby, Clem. Who am I to make fun of the one you've chosen?

You implied that I am a serial filer of lawsuits.

I've never filed one.

I don't have a criminal record.

I have a spotless military record.

I'm not a pedophile.

You're the poster child of a guy whose hobby has gone horribly wrong now Bill.

..and you can add "most popular guy in the neighborhood' to that list of accomplishments.

That's because you're too stupid to figure out which card game we're playing and who's sitting at the table.

Who cares about popularity Bill?

I do the things other people don't have the balls to do.

It's dirty, unpopular work.

I didn't imply anything. Great no criminal record and spotless military record.

And to make it perfectly clear, just because there was a supposed post that said you are a pedophile, doesn't mean I nor anyone else thinks you are.Things posted here in the forums are to be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[Clem_Shady]

Bill, the lawyer just advised me not to talk to you any further.

Sorry, I have to put you on iggy again during the lawsuit proceedings.

See ya in court.

I think you can jump in pretty much anywhere and it will all be the same.

 

[laynpipe]
