Please refrain from vulgarities on this forum.

It sounds like this guy was already suing the blogger when he missed his deadline.

The lawsuit was just filed today. The deadline was last Friday.

I'm just reading the lawsuit now at http://blackvelvetbrucelee.blogspot.com/2006/06/lawsuit-filed.html

My favorite part so far is paragraph 19 of Count I that says his feelings were hurt.

Chapman's spokesman, Faisal Gill, said Chapman missed the deadline because he was distracted by the ongoing defamation lawsuit against an Internet blogger.

"I had no idea there was a deadline," Chapman said. "We had a fundraiser the night before and it never came up. No one in my campaign knew there was a deadline."

LOL, whomever typed up that filing isn't completely literate...

"His never revealed his identity" - from page 1 of the filing posted at the blog.

At any rate, I saw an article that stated the candidate graduating from high school can be pretty easily proven, so I think the blogger might be in a little bit of trouble with that one... I haven't followed this whole story so maybe there is a "half-truth" in there - like dropped out, went back and graduated? (o:

The blogger claimed that his information came from the school system records and that the candidate had received a GED instead.

I was speaking generally, as you can plainly see from my response above. Not specifically to anyone.

If he can't keep up with deadlines he definately can't keep up with the people's business.

Making a bad situation worse. NUTS!
