[Imc-midwest-regional] [legal issues] This does concern me... FW: [IMC-Process] Where we at?

[christopher mitchell]

It concerns yoU??
I'm a bit concerned myself ;-P
actually I am more annoyed - he claims to be suing me for slander...which 
means that he has to prove actually monetary damages from my false 
charges.  As I have significant evidence that he is actually posting as 
multiple personalities / names, I am not really worried.
As far as being worried about non-wingnuts suing us, I still would not be 
that worried.
