New post added to JonMon lawsuit

[cos]

Fascinating. I never commented on the original post this lawsuit seems to be about, but yesterday I received one of those letters to notify me that I'm one a "Doe Defendant" that will be added to the lawsuit. This letter tells me I'm being added because of my posts at both the original post (where I actually did not comment at all) and also this recent post - the one where ron_newman first told us that he's being sued. So... it looks like JonMon is watching the new posts and adding people to the lawsuit as they comment? In any case, the URL of that newer post is in the letter.

As in the other letters, he informs me that he holds copyright to this letter and implies that because of that, he can "prohibit anyone from publishing or disclosing it in whole or in part". Kinda wacky. Copyright doesn't actually give him the right to prohibit disclosure, and even directly quoting it "in part" for the purpose of commentary or criticism is fair use (which is what I'm doing here).

Return address, BTW, is PO Box 391512, Cambridge MA 02139

I really, really want to see him go after Popehat. Because then Ken White becomes DIRECTLY involved, and that will be spectacular.

Someone would have to determine Ken White's real name first, before serving papers. I'm guessing it's not his real legal name, mostly because other people involved in Popehat seem to have last names of "Beige" "Eggshell" and other white-tints.

Actually, I think it is--I was looking up Popehat in wikipedia, and came across this link to his CV (resume? badassness?) http://www.brownwhitelaw.com/attorneys/kwhite.html

It is, in fact. He used to sign off as simply Ken, but his secret identity has been revealed on multiple occasions at this point, so I don't think he bothers with it any longer. The other posters on his site use handles riffing off that and assorted in jokes from the blog. ("Via Angus," for example, is a reference to someone who accused him of being in bed with the Illuminati or Freemasons or something, all because he said "Via Angus" in some post, referencing where he got some item or other, and she claimed it was some kind of secret invocation.)
