As some of you may know, Brent likes guns. Big guns. Like this one:

I think I understand why you included this picture, to cite the AR15.com issue... but c'mon man that has to be quite an intimidating image to rehash in this thread for the plaintiff
@barybadrinath to inevitably bear witness. It's one thing to stare down the barrel of a lawsuit, but it's a-whole-nother thing to stare down an image of the barrel of a tank that belongs to the guy you're suing.
seeing the image posted in this thread from the plaintiffs perspective
I would assume he already knows he's suing somebody who owns
DriveTanks.com, nonetheless, the added imagery is umm.... theatrics? As if this needed any more theatrics, but I guess as the old adage goes "...
only in domaining are such stories possible."
I'm not pointing out the tank intimidation to make fun, make this political, or summons
cancel culture. I'm more so wondering where/if some sugar can be found, in the off chance both parties can squeeze any remaining juice out of this sour situation, and begin
turning lemons into lemonade.
Y'all see... It's approaching 3:00 AM, and I should probably be sleeping. But after reading any good mystery novel, Hollywood series or in this case, doom scrolling through some of the alleged/possible connections surrounding this situation, and the backgrounds of the involved parties, I am left popping more popcorn like others following along, and clinching to see how this will all unfold. At this point, who knows which way things will turn, but one angle I think worth exploring is the cinematic or Vice style documentary amicable ending.
I have no idea how "movie rights" work, or what the market is for "documentary rights", but perhaps that could be an avenue for
@barybadrinath to gain desired compensation and/or share his story or if this could be an opportunity to answer to any to his newfound media notoriety. I mean, dude (Mr. Argawal) from India gets sued by Facebook, loses, then goes up against dude who had 9-figure exit, that now plays with tanks... for fun, actual tanks. I'm sure Hollywood can add a spin to this story and provide it a deserving cinematic ending. Hollywood ending
or ⚖ Judicial Proceedings... hmmm.
Far out suggestion.
- Mr. Argawal drops the case, and removes all hexes immediately.
- Mr. Oxley agree's to appear in Mr. Argawal's documentary, and authorizes some tank footage provided a producer/funding is found (perhaps Christian Colson).
- Lawyers go home, and @Rob Monster helps iron out any wrinkles by being appointed the neutral ombudsman.
Hollywood lemonade aside, I do hope the executives involved (e.g.
the not active on namePros GoDaddy CEO Mr. Bhutani and whomever he and his legal team did or did not consult) take a long hard look at what's transpiring here, and patch any potential legal exploits this situation may have turned up.
Until more details are known, or unless things are settled behind the scenes, it's beginning to look like March Madness again on namePros... as the popcorn seems to be popping at March-like levels again.
