Waste of everyone’s time
This letter is in response to “Hosty sued for verbal attack,” published Nov. 11.
This has to go under the heading “give me a break.” I am so tired of frivolous lawsuits of this nature. Here, someone wants to tie up 12 strangers’ lives, take court time, pay attorneys fees and do more harm to themselves and others, all in the name of revenge. If I went to court after everyone who I thought maligned me, I wouldn’t have time to go to the bathroom.
And then there is the matter of this particular paper (the Review) following and reporting about these two parties, the Backmans and Hosty, as if they were the Hatfields and McCoys. Enough already. My advice about this suit would be to take it where other sensible people take their lawsuits … to Judge Judy. There they will get all the attention they need and crave, and hey, won’t that give you something really interesting to report on.
