GO!

stopfaffing I saw that too, it makes you wonder, why would she being crying?

lazyman what jurisdiction are they suing you in, if you don't mind my asking?

lazyman that's shocking. That's what stops so many of us ex-mlm's from coming forward as we're worried about being sued for telling the truth

rayof do they make you sign something? why the worry?

rood it's Jamberry. We had a brief discussion further up thread . Another Utah MLM
Jamberry reps are crawling all over nethuns and their local sites at the moment

(I think they are basically stick on nail polish )

Sorry to hear about the lawsuit, lazyman.

i wonder if there's a way we can play them at their own game?

There is also a Jamberry rep in the "start ups" board on mumsnet ...

blech

maybe TV should get into teh nailwrap business.

We could have a selection of herbal nail wraps that also smell of parslai, coriander etc.

omg hun i luv it.

we need to do an advertisng campagin stat.

maybe wrap with flakes of parslai in it? sooo cute

Use some of your special 'gold' parslai for them?

Welcome Lazyman, it's great to have another expert onboard. You wouldn't think they would sue because surely that would mean the truth would come out? Maybe they'll drop it at the last minute, hoping you've spent all your money and disappeared.

You don't mention the religious aspect of ItWorks on your blog. Where you aware of it?

The fact that MLMs are all so litigious (if they ever actually follow through with it) is just further evidence of their guilt. If people blog that they hate Tescos because their prices are too high, their veg is rotten and the car parking spaces are too small you don't see tescos threatening to sue them just for expressing a negative opinion.

The U.K. isn't generally such a litigious environment, I think. Things might be viewed differently if your influences are from elsewhere.

I would assume that if Lazy Man's has been SLAPPed, his attorneys will have SLAPPed back, but his opponents will have much deeper pockets to keep SLAPPing.

Welcome Lazyman, good to have you on board.

Surely wrapping your nails in parslai can cure all manner of ills: cancer, dementia, autism, war...

so SLAPPs don't happen in the UK?

I think Americans are far more litigious than most. Libel cases are often a mug's game in England and Wales because they're so damned expensive to bring to trial. If the defendant's got no money the claimant's stuffed because you can't take knickers off a bare arse (or 'ass' as they say on Lazy's side of The Pond). If a libel case does go to trial, everything's laid bare in public which could make things even worse.

SLAPP no, but people have been sued in Britain just to harass them and cause them distress.The English equivalent of anti-SLAPP, is the Vexatious Litigation Act, 1896, and in Scotland it's the Vexatious Actions Act, 1898.
