This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Might not help. Canada has defined the third party in that tort rather narrowly. Cannot usually be some nebulous entity like, "my clients."

EDIT: So, another way of saying it, who do you propose would be the third party involved here?

I may be sperging out, but this time I'm not actually wrong about anything as far as I know.

S'mon

I'm pretty sure Canadian law has a "girls win, guys lose" clause, so I wouldn't give much for his chances.

Quote from: sureshot;1091910So because it does not fit into the " I despise Zak" narrative we are just going to ignore thst not one not two but four women spoke up in defence of Zak. Including Mandy dad. He has saved text messages where she can't even stand after being operated on yet is demanding sex. While they were a couple Mandy was fine with his shitty and terrible behavior. Yet suddenly once they are no longer a couple it is suddenly sexual assault . If they they would still be together she would probably not be saying a damn thing. Given how many people came forward and willing to defend Zak, put it in writing and sign it. Unless Mandy can come up with same kind of spirited defence Zak was able to receive from others he unfortunately stands a good chance go win his case imo.

One needs more proof than a he said/she said defence. I'm not defending Zak or a fan. He behaved poorly towards other fellow gamers. Became suddenly woke  and joined the SJW mob for his benefit. He can rot in hell.

As to why I'm unsympathetic to Mandy it is that kind of bullshit thst makes both a mockery of people who went through sexual abuse and only makes it harder for those victims who truly suffer from sexual abuse to come forward. If both were still in a relationship she would not have said anything. Not a damn thing.

Sums up about how I feel regarding the whole thing. Zak is a dick, he's abrasive, too cool for school, etc. However I don't think the evidence we have access to here really amounts to proof he's some sort of sexual abuser. It's a bunch of he said, she said bullshit. It is fairly damning to my mind that someone who lived with them for five years and was a part of whatever it is their relationship was, thought that the accusations were bullshit.

I don't think this is sufficiently related to gaming , so I'm going to close it.  I could theoretically be open to new threads on this, if it later becomes more relevant to the hobby itself rather than a thing between the two people thus far involved.
