My trials and travails with litigious former employee.

Wow! That is just horrible... Sadly I have heard things like this before...
I just another person taking advantage of the "Great" American Justice system. It just really sucks to hear this has happened so someone I remotely know.

Hope all works out well. Get that freak!
 
I'm so sorry your going through this Eric. Please know that my thoughts will be with you on monday and I truly hope this is the LAST time you will ever have to deal with this person again(although from the sounds of it, it won't be). Please keep us posted on the outcome.
 
Eric I read your account with horror and rage. I truly hope this matter can be laid to rest so you can get on with your life. Have the best weekend you can, stay positive and good luck in court x
 
Just stay positive and everything will work itself out in the end. Clearly your getting the raw end, and I totally agree about the mal-practice insurance for stuff like this; it's the evident flaws that those who abuse substances to this degree are bound to want more money. Just keep your head up and it will all be OK. This is something you should never have had to go through, but life is like that sometimes and you just have to roll with it. Best wishes sir, and I pray everything turns out perfectly for you!!.
 
I founda website that may offer some info on what you can do.

There is alot to look through, it may help, it may not.

You can always claim that he is harassing you because you're white and it's disrimination. I would love to see that argument come forth sometime because it does happen. Especially because you've been told that the lawmakers are treading lightly because this individual is black. Take it the other direction and make them look like they are giving him special treatment because of his race and are discriminating against you because of your race. More effort than its worth, I suppose.
 
Oh... Eric...

Bah.

Look, I am not the most active member here, nor even a contributing member(be it articles worth reading or actually donating money :p ) But even I noticed what a good person you are. And it simply sucks that you would have to go through something that unsettles you to such a degree.

You don't deserve this, I am sorry man.

I will say something though, and I hope that I do not come off condescending mate- but do not allow idiots to ruin your health. They have not earned the privilege nor are they important enough to affect you thus.

Maybe it's easier for me... to a degree, to put a lot of things in perspective... Due to my service in the army I saw people die, lost friends and been in situations where it was a close call. I am no hero, but it really makes you realize just how most of the things we have to deal with are inconveniences at best, and to remember that we can overcome them.

All I am saying is... you are safe and sound, you have snakes, you have family and even an Israeli who exchanged just a few words with you likes you and wishes you all the best from the other half of the globe- and I imagine I am not the only one on this community who shares the sentiment.

Do not allow fools to weight you down, your happiness is far more important, don't give them the satisfaction.

I hope that the language barrier here does not make this post look like I am criticizing you. You are a great guy, and for your own good, I think you should allow your heart to be effected only by those people whom you hold dear.

Keep well my friend,
And all will be well.

Daytona comes around every year, make sure to keep yourself fit to attend as many of them as you possibly can.

Oren, I've never noticed any language barrier at all. You express yourself perfectly, better than many whose first and only language is english. I used to think, when I first joined the forum, that somehow by choice you had chosen to move to Israel from the US or the UK. You spoke the language so "natively".
But thanks, pal, I really appreciate the sentiment, and do not take it the wrong way.
I'm pretty good at compartmentalizing...and this has certainly been an exercise at improving that skill. LOL.
Being a solitary soul can have its dangers though, like the tendency to accidentally or deliberately isolate one's self. But I have learned when to stop wallowing in a funk, and go look for conversation and or company.

Thank you Sweetie. My first lawyer summed it up pretty well, "Because of the type person this guy is...we don't want to crush him or smash him like a bug. We just want to push him off the table."
I.e., instead of giving him the battles that evidently he relishes, make him give up pushing on a ten-foot-thick wall that just doesn't give.

I use that approach in my job at times, but I really was surprised and liked how my former lawyer put it into such a few simple words.

You mean he didn't?. He always chooses the right words and I thought his post was very sincere as well!.

The language barrier exists, I assure you. I admit, I use it enough to be capable with it... but sometimes misunderstandings rise.

I just think that... as you described it, this ordeal made you throw up a whole lot... and your health is far too important. You're a great guy and it bothered me to see that you went through such a mess because an idiot chose to do what he knows best- being an idiot.

Take care of yourself, don't be selfish! People want you to hang around here for as long as possible. You can't disappoint us all :p
 
Monday morning. Yay! (NOT Yay!)
It's 11:40am, here now, and I am getting ready for the court hearing, civil case, trial, circus, freakshow, ulcer-causing bunch of B.S. at 1:30pm.

Thanks for the encouraging words, folks.
I've got his personnel file, and all documents from the past court stuff, so even if I stutter or stammer, there should be enough documentation to prove there exists no grounds or basis for him to be suing me in a Civil Suit for $3000,.....or for this to even still going on, now 4 years later.
Boy, this is so far way out from this introvert/agoraphobe's comfort zone.

Worse case scenario... you send a frozen rat with a black rose in it's mouth to the Judge's house, with a note asking how he'd like to wake up every Sunday with that in his bed.

It's one of those threats only herpers can use :p

Let us hope you won't have to resort to that, hehehe
 
Good Luck Eric! Here's hoping this is the last time you have to go through this! Your poor tummy!
