[QUOTE="Wincenworks, post: 9215203, member: 7038835"] At this point it's generous to refer to him having a plan - every step in his litigation seems to hinge on the belief that he will be victor by default when the other side cowers at his "genius" and concedes to avoid costs and humiliation. I recall there was a (now taken down) video with Hovermale where he said that when he'd asked about "what will we do regarding these trademarks if Wizards [I]does [/I]sue?" and Justin had advised that not only would they never cross a Gygax (lol) but that he had a letter from them which confirmed his right to use those trademarks, so he'd let them take him to court and [I]then[/I] produce the letter to show he had permission the whole time. These, a lot of the content in Hovermale's now retracted text logs, and his weird approaches like arguing "Freedom of Speech should protect me even if I agree it won't." all indicate he has the rather common version of narcissism where he assumes he knows better than other people, and that they will read his audacity not as foolhardiness - but as well earned confidence that can only mean a positive outcome for him. This has probably served him well dealing with struggling tattoo artists, minimum wage sales staff, cops who are just trying to meet their ticket quota, etc but really, really is a recipe for disaster against high end lawyers, ex-cops who used to work super-high-stress departments, and bankruptcy trustees who are always on the lookout for a rich naughty word who is trying to push his luck.
