Well, this is how our system works. There is nothing stopping me from filing suit against you for posting this comment because it hurt my feelings. Then the judge throws it out because there's no basis in the law for my claim.


Motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim? Including reading the complaint, researching and drafting an answer, and associated communications, figure 30 hours of attorney time. Wilmer Hale? Figure $400/hr.

$12K to respond to a claim so frivolous that it was dismissed instantly in the friggin' Eastern District of Texas.

Hope RedHat can get some fees back from these fools.
