Charisma Sues RCD, DD, DI - Albert Hidel - 06-30-2014 Quote:Re: What's the accreditation status of Charisma University?http://www.degreediscussion.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9223&start=345 The OCSC docket shows that an action indeed has been filed by plaintiff PETER CHRIS OKPALA. The defendants are shown as: DEGREE DISCUSSIONS.COM DEGREE INFO.COM MBWA SHENZI RICHARD DOUGLAS Having seen so many scurrilous comments aimed at well-intentioned education enterprises over the years by "swarming assholes" (as Oxpecker so artfully put it), we certainly sympathize with Charisma and Dr. Okpala. However, as much as we like seeing assholes get their just deserts, it looks like Charisma University has taken an ill-chosen route to avenge the predations of the stalker crew. Not only do the offensive comments appear to be solidly within the realm of First Amendment protected free speech, but in California the plaintiff may be subject to the state Anti-SLAPP Law as well. So rather than putting the screws to his tormentors, Okpala might have just set himself up to deliver them a minor payday instead. But as we seem to be seeing more and more, legitimate higher ed enterprises are starting to fight back against the slimy thugs who conspire to drive them out of business. Best wishes, Dr. Okpala, but when it all comes down we hope it doesn't land on you.

A copy of the complaint is attached below. In addition to defamation and slander counts there are also counts for business interference. It will be interesting to see if Okpala can get the latter two past demurrer. We all know that the clones aren't just innocently sharing opinions, but are in fact dedicated to destroying all educational free enterprise outside the reach of the government's iron fist. He might have a shot on that basis, but as a pro per plaintiff he's probably going to get lawyered to death, the way Dr. Dolphin did.

None of the defendants have a major educational institution paying the legal bills as did Gollin. You notice that after the Dolphin case, The U of Illinois must have told him to shut the fuck up because that is exactly what he did. RE: Charisma Sues RCD, DD, DI - Martin Eisenstadt - 07-01-2014 Given what is known about Goose and his now not-so-secret wanker gang, I see the tortious interference claims as viable, although not necessarily as alleged in the complaint. Surprising not to see conspiracy allegations.

Ha ha, you mean the taxpayers of Illinois, who got stuck paying $50K to change Gollin's diapers. Okpala might also have noticed how Gus and Bear folded like cheap suitcases when O'Block sued them. Nice precedent. Plaintiffs line up and take a number please. RE: Charisma Sues RCD, DD, DI - Fort Bragger - 07-02-2014 All the big mouth pricks are gone from DegreeDiscussion and the place is dead. It would be a crime if Gus, after saving his house, loses everything from a lawsuit because of his website, a toy he has long tired of. In their lawsuit, Charisma could do some valuable research on this website. If nothing else, they might be amused that degreeinfo was started by a gay pornographer and is moderated by a transvestite or, if he's had his balls nipped off, a trans-sexual, I guess. Criticism of out and out degree mills is fine but they had better be right when criticizing start-up schools that are trying for legitimacy, they better be right - and careful.

Not a single post there since the day Okpala announced his lawsuit. Not by any of The Goose House Gang, not even by bathroom remodel spammers. Looks like Okpala has done the world a true service and flushed the stalker commode.
