[QUOTE="Wincenworks, post: 9245852, member: 7038835"] Civil courts of business* are rarely concerned with if someone pushed the limits, only if they exceeded them - so for now LaNasa is probably fine on that front - however it was tactically a bad idea as it gives his opposition opportunities and gains him nothing - and if it leads to him mistaking the lack of consequences for it to him being immune to consequences, and he then follows up with something well over the line, it'll be a truly bad idea for him since he's already in the penalty box over the Protection Order. Indeed, and nothing hurts your credibility more than being unable to provide any simple answers that don't sound weaselly or entirely self-serving. Remember, if this ever gets to a jury trial Wizards of the Coast will be able to introduce Justin's history into the conversation, and paint everything with that brush - especially any testimony from his associates that benefits him... say about whether they did the work for Justin, TSR LCC, OSR Games LLC, etc. In this aspect, the Bankruptcy is certainly not helping as it simply extends the time frames in which Justin and his associates can trip over their own feet and incriminate or impeach nuTSR. It's currently not strong enough that anyone would bring it to the court, but (since we're talking chess) it has the potential to become an overlooked Knight that springs back into memory at the most inconvenient time, collapsing a strategy that was committed to or taking out a key piece. Part of the reason lawyers generally advise their clients to stay silent is to because these things add up and can, in the right hands, become devastating if raised at the right time a deposition or cross-examination. * I specify business here because in many areas of law, it can be extremely unwise to play the "but I didn't cross the line" game - however in disputes between businesses courts are usually a lot more rigid.
