That's not actually what happened. The coffee scalded an old woman who was in the hospital for weeks with burns that never healed. That McDonald's had been cited numerous times for serving coffee that was too hot. It was actually a really egregious case that caused serious long term harm, not just someone annoyed they got a minor burn that went away an hour later.

It's not that easy to bring a frivolous lawsuit. I'm a defense lawyer, and even I think the deck is stacked against plaintiffs.

To clarify:
I've been having my posts deleted periodically for some months now, just because there is so much information out there. I requested y4m to delete my posts on October 16, and again on January 25, before these monster threads happened. My posts are still there throughout this incident and I stand by them.
I never once defended booby's words, and in fact stated emphatically that I thought kirkette had every right to be upset.
My only stance other than that has been to state that I am uneasy when threats of off-board retaliation happen, and I take them seriously. I've seen it happen many times on these boards, and it scares the shit out of me.
I am neither condoning nor defending anything booby has said. In fact, booby and I have tangled many times over the years.
I am incredibly sorry for what happened to smo, and I had absolutely no part in it, nor do I have any knowledge whatsoever about this incident.
These boards have been a part of my life for a decade, and I value the discussions we have here. I've learned a great deal from them, and continue to do so.
If my part in any of this has caused anyone to think I am racist, or a racist sympathizer, please know that I am sorry for that, and while it was never my intent, I understand that intent does not always matter.
Anyone taking action in this matter is free to investigate my past posts. Google cache is available and I am sure proboards logs them. I absolutely hope they catch whomever was responsible for harassing smo in such a hateful way. I would never, ever engage in behavior like that.
Thanks for reading.
