So this is a good thing, right?

Yesterday, a man came to my house and "served" me with papers.... A defamation lawsuit.

And no, it wasn't related to anything I've said on this blog.

I was looking back at the quotes I've posted throughout my blog, and I saw the Churchill quote about making enemies, and how it shows that you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.... So I guess that makes this lawsuit a "good thing", right?

The lawsuit details events from two years ago! When I was FIFTEEN! This isn't fair, is it? You can't sue someone whose a minor, right? The "damages" are in the six figures. The suit also includes four other people.

Well anyways, the details of the lawsuit seem pretty baseless and unsubstantiated. I think we're (my older brother and his wife are lawyers) going to counter-sue, something which I would've never thought of if this frivilous lawsuit hadn't been filed to begin with.

And since this document is now a "public document", would it be legal to post it online? It details all of the alleged "defamation".

The lawsuit deals with a sexual predator who preyed on young girls within the Sikh community. I guess I should just leave it at that...

I received 2 notices.

One was a "notice of action" filed 1 day before HIS version of the events took place.

And then the actual suit was filed a month later.
