Absolutely correct. It's a shame the complaint wasn't written so that was clear. Opinions are constitutionally protected free speech, but commercial disparagement is not.
In a way Doogle was smart by getting out in front of Tailpipe Chip and Gangster Gus in this litigation. He can portray himself as just an isolated, opinionated jerk commenting rudely and/or ignorantly on public issues, but not otherwise a participant in any of the infamous and sordid activities for which the others may be known, such as gay boy porn or crank calling people's wives.
I always wondered why Doogle wasn't an official member of Goose's "Our Gang" Stalker Club. Was it because Doogle was too much of an asshole even for them and so wasn't invited, or he was invited but they were too assholish even by his minimal standards? I noticed George Brown had the good sense to drop out once it became clear to him what sort of clown crew he was mixed up in.
I like that, Opinionated Jerk, and so true. I suspect Rich would see himself as that. I think Rich had a lot of history with the unaccredited schools /John Bear. He made his change to "they are bad" when John jumped the tracks and did his- Unaccredited is bad-accredited is good, and, oh by the way "I just happen to represent an accredited school--- please send checks"
These people change their minds as often as the weather changes. The reason for it is, of course, the debate point. I maintain that they change for money and for the audience. Old John has to have his crowd, no matter how small, of suck-ups. If he can arrange it so money is involved, all the better.
