Pretty shiny beautiful jewelry.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

In America, anybody can sue anybody! For any reason, even made-up ones. It's very beautiful. Anyway, 30 lampworkers, including myself, are being sued, and the way it works is that either we defend ourselves or we lose. This system seems kind of like a racket for lawyers if you ask me. So, the problem is that we are running out of money. BUT! We have pretty shiny jewelry and beads for sale at very good prices in our fundraising store! Please help keep the crazy lady from taking my house.

For example:



There are also loose beads. Some of mine, even, and mine are about half the price I normally sell them for.

Anyway, I'm basically posting this everywhere in the hope that somehow enough stuff will sell that we can pay the lawyer for one more month. I think this lawsuit has cost us about $45,000 so far. Not kidding. The only reason we can even defend ourselves at all is because we formed a legal defense co-op.

She doesn't have to win.  She just has to outspend them and then win by default.

It's called justice. The lady may be blindfolded, but the scales should be a clue.

You're so 20th century.

Wouldn't it just be easier to put a hit out on her? I'd totally pitch in to pay for that.

She's not winning; she's stringing things out so that we deplete our resources and can't defend ourselves, at which point she wins by default. I don't think she cares about winning. But, civil suits are the opposite of "innocent until proven guilty", and without a lawyer to show the judge our innocence, she can say anything she wants about us, and win. 

This woman has already harassed and libeled hundreds of online sellers of various goods, including cookies, cupcakes, beads, jewelry, and soap, and has stated openly that we're only the first wave of lawsuits she has planned... essentially, it sounds like she's planning to sue everybody who in any way could be construed as competition. Crazy much?

I hope you're filing countersuits and take her for all she is worth.

Do you do beads as necklaces?  (I figure as fancy as they are it'd be a centerpiece rather than a string of lampwork)

Nigel, those are beautiful. I wish I had money and pierced ears just so I could get them.

You and me both, Sister. Those are gorgeous.

I am planning to countersue, and I think a bunch of other people are as well. It's only $50 to file a small claims suit in Oregon and the max I can ask for is $7500, but if enough people filed we might even be awarded enough to make up for what we've spent on defense.

I don't really make jewelry other than the little earrings I sell in my Etsy store, but the designers I sell to do all kinds of wonderful crazy things with them. The larger ones look nice on a plain silver chain, too.

I love them too! There are those and a couple of other pairs of earrings that I seriously wish I had the extra cash to splurge on.

yeah, there's some really beautiful stuff in there.  Hopefully I get some more readings soon and can get one for my wife for our anniversary while it will still do you guys some good.
