The R**hthaven Blegethon Continues......
Sad to say, "Folks? We aren't there yet.......Fred needs several more $5.00 donations."

All of us here know the meaning of the word sue when used in the context of being sued. But most of us here, have probably never really heard that phrase, "You are being sued."

Fred has. All because he has provided a place for a rant -- in a burg. And pays for it.

We Rantburger are large in numbers....... but we haven't done enough in supporting Fred. That goal of $1,000 still has not been met.... (and consider the additonal monthly costs he has to keep our Burg going).

As you go about your weekend, at each stop throughout the days, as you offer payment, consider this:

1. Ever written an opinion/words/statement (a rant) at Rantburg? Then you owe Fred.
2. Ever had anyone ask you, "How do you know so much about this/that?" and you know it is because of Rantburg... Then you own Fred.
3. Ever clicked in at least 2 times daily to read articles at Rantburg? Then you owe Fred.
4. Ever posted an article at Rantburg? Then you owe Fred.
5. Ever in a comment, sourced another website? Then you own Fred.

You owe Fred 5 bucks.

Because you can do any of the above 5 things, Fred is being sued.
Because he offers you Rantburg as your own personal blog, Fred is being sued.
Because he has provided a virtual Burg for accumulation of articles and knowledge about fighting this terrorist war, Fred is being sued.

It's easy to donate -- just click on the big red You at the top of the page. You got some choices of payment opportunities.

From Fred:
I reached agreement with Righthaven the beginning of October. I've been waiting for the paperwork since then. Squire Cingold called me to see how it was going and I told him, and he called them for me to see what was up. In the course of the resulting poopstorm they said they sent me the papers by email the day I talked to them, plus a followup. Never saw any of them -- presumably eaten by Gmail's spam filters, even though I got their latest holler.

Anyway, I'm not supposed to disclose the amount of the settlement by the terms of the agreement, but it's more than is currently in the Rantburg bank (or in my checkbook after paying for a new HVAC system in October...) So if you've got spare change, please kick in. By this point it's easier to spend four digits to make it go away than to spend five digits defending it, which is what they count on
