A bit like Lleyton Hewitt blaming getting his ass handed to him by Federer on a sprained leg. Just an excuse to feel special, I guess.Khell_Sennet said:
Off-topic, but every time I see this case mentioned, I feel the need to clear up the facts. First, Stella Liebeck, the woman who sued McDonald's, only got 75% of what she sought, since the jury found her to be 25% at fault. Why was she not completely at fault? Because the McDonald's coffee was unholy hot.Grounogeos said:
How hot was it? Well, the normal serving temperature for coffee at places like Dunkin Donuts and such is 140 degrees Fahrenheit. McDonald's served their coffee at 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, when she spilled the coffee on herself, rather than her getting some mild reddened skin before the coffee cools, as you'd expect, she got third-degree burns. Let me repeat and emphasize that. She got third degree burns from spilling coffee onto her pants.
The issue wasn't so much her spilling the coffee on herself. The issue was that the coffee was served without any warning of just how hot it was, which you'd think would be necessary if you were knowingly serving coffee at 40 degrees Fahrenheit above the norm.
Outstanding! You've got a sense of compassion rivalling that of a steel slab. I'm glad to live in the twenty-first century, where human beings can wish for the demise of those who aren't fully in their right mind.dmase said:
Who exactly did he hurt? Did his previous lawsuits keep you up at night? Did his subpoena to Winona Ryder tear down an orphanage on its way to the courtroom?
If it was just one person representing your viewpoint, I'd wave it off as typical Internet idiocy. It's your right to hold an opinion, no matter how lamentable I may find it. But to imagine that there are dozens of people who see it fitting to express their hatred for this man - that's just mind-boggling.
People will have mental illnesses. It happens. Deal with it and move on.
The troll ragequit.
If I see an article about how he committed suicide or got killed in the nearest future, I will laugh.

See my post above as to why my body starts manufacturing toxins when I see things like this.Cid SilverWing said:
What the fuck was he suing Winona Rider for?
How hot was it? Welp, she spilled it on her lap, and it was so hot that it fused her labia to the skin on her inner thighs.
There are a lot of frivolous lawsuits in the US, but the McDonalds hot coffee case was not one of them. The woman was burned by coffee that was far hotter than the pre-existing legal limit after the McDonalds location in question had already been warned by officials that their coffee was too hot.Grounogeos said:

aww that sucks...for the first time i actually knew of someone who is the living epitome of stupid.
The Squeaky wheel finally decided to quiet down. Nothing against him personnally, but you've got to realize how trivial lawsuits can be. I hope he cheers up and continues to enjoy gaming, and somehow go out and meet people.
His stupidity must have gotten to the point where he can't even believe what an ass hat he looked like.
Good, we don't need people like him as reflections of the gaming community.
