The link directly refutes that she's dropping the lawsuit; in fact, she's decided not to drop it. If this was posted 3 minutes ago, and the Dartlog post was updated at 8:45pm, when will the Gawker train get to Hanover?

There is, in fact, only one train to Hanover from New York. There is also only one road to Hanover. It's also HANOVER, so why does anyone care?

"Research assistant" means she spends afternoons in the library rattling her plastic bags filled with hundreds of sheets of yellow legal paper filled with microscopic writing (in pencil). Once in a while she takes a break to go to the ladies room and scream at the soap dispensers.

@aradiantsulkninja: I'm going to sue you for that.

"You know, this is probably not the right way to handle this... I mean, it probably wasn't even harassment, right? I'm just taking it way too personally, and way too far on top of that? I'll just drop i- what? what's that? I'm getting tons of media attention and I'm planning on writing a book? in that case, nevermind proceed as planned."

aaaaahhhh stupid people

@Hipp: yesterday.

@arguablythemostfamous: The Dartlog update was yesterday, yes. This post was today. They posted twice yesterday, first saying she was canceling her litigation, and then four hours later, saying she'd changed her mind and was continuing with it. Nothing on her says that she changed her mind again, so this post is incorrect from the word "Post."

Imagine if there were a cause of action in law called "gross idiocy"! They'd have to close all the factories and open courthouses...

Idiot crybaby. Just try and sue me for that, jerk.

@Hipp:
God knows, I haven't read all the linked articles, but I don't think she or her attorney ever actually filed anything.

BTW, "filing" means what it says: You file a piece of paper (the "Complaint") in the applicable court stating what you believe to be your legal claims and you usually pay the nice clerk some money for the privilege. You also get a summons that you have to have served on the defendant(s) within a specified period of time.

@plasticene: I suppose the mentally challenged are a protected group, in which case she has a case.

@tempest:
Normally, I deplore the exorbitant cost of using the civil legal system (if you're an ordinary plaintiff). But in this case ....

@Hipp: no I was answering when the train would get to hanover... sorry, bad flow.

@Seeräuber Jenny: Hmm. I wonder what the appropriate damages would be. All of the profits from the book, perhaps?

@Hipp:
She asked the imaginary judge in her notional discrimination lawsuit to dismiss her case "without prejudice."

People like this lady make me wish an Agent Graves really was going around handing out attachè cases.

Tag! Priya Venkatesan germs - pass it on!

@SarahHeartburn: paper rattling is the new sabre rattling

@Seeräuber Jenny: No. I will not allow Civil Procedure jokes to invade my Gawker time.

Shouldn't someone else other than Venkatesan be confirming what Venkatesan is now doing? She doesn't seem to be the most reliable source of information on herself.

@Seeräuber Jenny: Good thing, too, or he'd have gotten an imaginary lawsuit filed against him, as well.

You mean this isn't a 'performance' art piece, like Ms Shvarts'? I saw the blood, vaseline...no disrespects.
