Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wincenworks" data-source="post: 9452978" data-attributes="member: 7038835">Thank you!Coincidentally sometimes my lecturers get it wrong, you'd think as national experts they'd know better!Now that I'm no longer in danger of breaking Napoleon Bonaparte's golden rule of litigation ("Never interrupt your opponent when they are in the middle of a mistake.") I can reveal that Justin made a rather substantial tactical error in that he framed his accusations toward me in a very broad manner, which necessitated that I have a broad response.  (I did point out the lack of specificity in my response, and as Justin didn't use his right of response, to amend or provide further submissions its entirely on him.)So I'm not entirely surprised that he decided not to show up for telling the judge all about the most embarrassing moments of this whole fiasco. There was no filing fee - but he did have to invest time and effort into first contacting NetSafe etc (he's been trying to get this going since January)However, he has now created a situation where:1. He can only resume complaining about my coverage of this if he can show that it would be a miscarriage of justice for him to not be allowed to raise the complaint (which is a really high standard, and one that I'd get to dispute); and2. Since he owes me for costs I can ask the court that before we even discuss that, he should have to pay me.So he gets no more freebies, and is going to make it even harder for himself to try to silence me in future.He seems to like unilateral attacks but he doesn't like to scrap-toe-to-toe, he didn't have a choice in the bankruptcy hearing since Don was a creditor and it didn't go well for him.As for it being harassment, my own submission did include a longer lawyer-speak statement that essentially he was trying to use a law intended to prevent harassment to harass and silence me.  I was counting on him making a bad impression if he did show up - but fortunately for me he made a worse one by not showing up to the hearing for his own complaint.</blockquote>
