War Child
goodness me, to hear some of you guys (chizip and u2man) complain that this is too small an issue for them to be dealing with is just so silly!
This chick took lots of their gear, violated trust, and when their lawyers asked her to stop, *she* apparently made the bizarre step of claiming it was defamation for them to claim they never 'gave' it to her. I mean, she was *in charge* of their gear, and apparently just took stuff. At least that's what the first judge ruled.
How can she launch 'an appeal' then? On what grounds is she appealing? I thought you had to have something other than "I still think I'm right" to get a case *retried*?!
Maybe she feels she stands to gain some here, but maybe she just wants to do all she can to make the lads pay psychologically for 'dissing' her, to seem small as she is by having to come to court and say it's my fucking hat when they're rich rockstars. So, they have to say things like we wanted to preserve these special items for the to-be-built U2 shrine or at least for charity auctions of our own, and counter her claims with quotes like "it was *my* idea to wear the stetson" etc...
which I think Bono stated eloquently and very believably btw...
Maybe it's true that all she had to do to convince *herself* that they were 'giving'/'letting her have' their stuff was wear it around like Bono claims she did a lot and that if they didn't say "Now, remember, wash your smell off it and put it back where you found it when you're done", they were as good as saying "just take it home and keep it luv!"...
but then once the owners tell you, no, sorry, you misunderstood...
you say oops, sorry and you're done with it!
Any other response is just evidence of that "interpersonal relations problems" Bono kindly refers to....
cheers all!
