Is it ok to steal in certain situations?

There you go hijacking another thread in order to spew your unhinged lies about me.

It is unwise to defame someone who has sufficient information to track you down.

Neither I nor anyone else here takes you seriously, but if you keep it up and catch me on a bad day, I'll sue you as a hobby -- and then you'll know firsthand whether I'm a lawyer.

Come get some, puppy. Make it federal court so we can really get into WWF competition. I would love to subpoena your U. Penn records to see if you got in by posing as a minority Turk national. There are other fun things we could do with the discovery process, such as how else you lied to maintain yourself at Penn. Perhaps we could bring in U.Penn as an intervention plaintiff, to sue you for recovery of all the funds you expropriated deceitfully.

But you are no competition to me. I buy and sell punks like you dozens of times between now and Christmas. Not even a good lunch. You say, “for a hobby,” and that’s about as much as you know about law.

The last thing you should threaten me with is litigation, Mr. insurance adjuster. Take a look at your post. If you were really a lawyer, you would realize that you did not even spell out a prima facie case for defamation on which you could file a complaint. What are the elements? What are the defenses? You don't even know, do you? If you went forward with that, I would have you not only for my fees and costs (at $500/hour) but for Rule 11 sanctions. If you even filed, I would crank it up to six figures. I would bet that’s more than you make in a year.

The case will be venued in New York state court.

The statutory basis for personal jurisdiction over you in New York is your commission of intentional torts outside the state that caused foreseeable injury/damages within the state.

Under New York substantive law and conflict of laws rules, the locus of a defamation is the state where defamed person resides.

You'll get an education in the law, for which you will pay dearly.

You have been duly warned.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOuuuuuu.

This is what you think you have done, eh youngster?

The statutory basis for personal jurisdiction over you in New York is your commission of intentional torts outside the state that caused foreseeable injury/damages within the state.

Under New York substantive law and conflict of laws rules, the locus of a defamation is the state where defamed person resides.

But the New York "long-arm" statute cannot withstand Federal Jurisdiction. I will immediately remove it to federal court under diversity of citizenship. Then I move for change of venue to San Francisco, because under Federal Law (as opposed to your puny New York law) the alleged locus of the act and the source of the conduct controls where the case is venued. Under federal law, procedural questions follow federal law, not state law. You didn't even know that, did you? What a joke. (How much is airfare back and forth between New York and San Francisco for all of the motions I will be filing?) When you lose, I’ll bet you’ll file for bankruptcy, like the coward you are.

You'll get an education in the law, for which you will pay dearly.

You see, this, too, is why I do not believe you are a lawyer. Who, among professionals, makes such pompous Bull S*** talk? You’ve been making this same claim for four years…he has, right Debs? If you’ve got it, punk, come get some. Time is now.

Under the Erie doctrine, the conflict of law rules of the forum state -- New York -- will determine the governing substantive law.

Eire?...FCS. Give a man wikipedia and he will come up with anything. That case was decided in 1938. Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64 (1938). This proves that you have never attended law school.

Wikipedia says: Tompkins brought a lawsuit in federal court in New York against the Erie Railroad for personal injuries. Tompkins had been walking along the railroad tracks in Pennsylvania when he was hit by an open railcar door. Under Pennsylvania law, where the accident occurred, the railroad owed no duty to Tompkins. But this was the "law" according to the Pennsylvania courts. There was no statute of the state legislature declaring the law. In the federal courts, the railroad had a duty to take care. A federal court jury awarded Tompkins damages. The verdict was upheld on appeal.

Your analysis is about two millimeters deep. The question, for conflcit of laws, is where the conduct took place. Since you cannot establish that I ever left San Francisco to post my truths about you, it will take place in San Francisco.

We may get to see who is right, cuckold boy.

Me, cockold? I don't think so. I'm not married. Sober up, Z. Get some rest.
