Compilation of some of the best posts if you don't feel like losing brain cells by reading /u/endomorphosis's garbage:
You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss this idea. Things like Reddit have never been contemplated by common law. Even if current legal theories would not support a cause of action, I think there is a solid policy argument that this needs to change.
I would explore the balancing test in California's Rowland v Christian and progeny (in the public duty sense, not the premises liability sense). Its very flexible and can support a broad range of policy positions.
If it was foreseeable to Pao et.al. that the response to the bannination of FPH would result in an epidemic of bruised sphincters and torn glutei maximi, then it's simply unconscionable for them to have proceeded without at least setting up a public fund to supply Dulcolax suppositories and topical butt ointments to those poor souls who have been afflicted with near lethal butthurt dosages.
You could try suing under the precedent set by Temper v. Tantrum.
If so, can I sue you for being so goddamn stupid it's actually contagious? I feel like my IQ dropped double digits reading that rambling wall of nonsense.
Lawyer here. I would be happy to take up your case. I am a partner at a big law firm that specializes in Internet ban violations. I see a good deal of merit to this action and will work hard for you and your FPH class action.
I do require a small retainer of just $1 per subscriber of the sub as of June 10th, 2015, even those unwilling to participate (you can provide money on behalf of non claimants. This will be refundable in full in the case of a win and will simply be deducted from any award or settlement amount.
PM me your email address and I will arrange for a paypal account for funds to be deposited in. I also take Bitcoin for a small (20%) market value commission.
Oh. My. God. his post history is GOLD. I'm sure most people here have read complaints. Some among us have had the honor (sentence of eternal damnation) of reading a pro se filing. This suggested filing by OP tops even the idiocy of a Pro Se filing.
tl;dr OP wants people to file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing over Reddits actions in relation to /r/fatpeoplehate under the Fair Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act.
I'll tell you, if this landed on my desk it would MAKE. MY. WEEK.
Is your desk accessible to people with disabilities? Idk but yours clearly is...
