:coffeespray: :dance: :toot:
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

In his 18-page complaint, Dawkins describes himself as "the world's best known and most respected atheist."
What a complete prick.

Poor old Dawkins...as badly as he may have handled the blow up of RD.net, he didn't deserve this.

Fuck Josh even more for fucking over the atheist community. This does not make us look good.

Probably written by a litigation lawyer of course.

Well only if you think there is an 'us'. Personally I just don't believe in god. I don't belong to any 'us'. I realise of course that things are different in the USA.

No-one deserves to be the victim of something like this. It's not as if Dawkins is awash with money. He's wealthy, but not obnoxiously so, and much of the cash he had to spare was going to a good cause.

Josh Timonen, may you roast in ... :demon:

Exactly. I wouldn't wish this on Richard. And I hope Josh gets his comeuppance. :coffee:

Josh may find new business a bit hard to come by for a while. And that's without even the prospect of being behind bars for a stretch*.

*I guess they don't refer to it as being "... detained at Arnie's pleasure" in California.

You know that picture of Josh showing something to RD on a Blackberry/iPhone (or some other PDA)? I think we need a new caption for that. :plot:

An overdue revision for the next edition of The Greatest Show On Earth, I guess the dedication "For Josh Timonen" might be replaced by "Sorry LakLak you were right". :whistle:

Any chance of a prison term if he can't cough up the cash?

This puts a slightly new spin on events two years ago, specifically JT's swiftness in acting in accordance with his master's wishes. RD could have shut down the entire web site if he wanted to. And maybe it also partly explains why JT cared not a whit for the forum otherwise. No money to be made there ... :levi:
