O'Block Sues Bear

[Don Dresden]

Notorious JOHN BEAR has been named as a defendant in a civil action brought by ACFEI, the American Psychotherapy Association and Dr. O'Block in Circuit 31, Greene County, Missouri, as case number 1131-CV12347.

Court records show that notorious JOHN BEAR was personally served with the complaint on February 1, 2012, which might account for his "indigestion." Bear's address is shown as 1337 Henry Street, Apt E. Berkeley, CA 94709.

A copy of the complaint against notorious JOHN BEAR in that matter is attached. Plaintiffs sought $70,000 in damages.

The complaint incorrectly refers to the offensive website as "degreediscussions" (plural) instead of "degreediscussion" singular, so the links cited in the complaint are dead.

Below are the correct links. The first two refer to the "Tick tick tick" thread discussed above that since has been censored. The third is a thread titled "The American Board of Nonexistence" that also appears to have had something deleted. The San Diego Reader article referred to in that thread also has been deleted by that site.
