Let’s analyze this a bit …

First you claimed that …
“I tried donating a small amount and the transaction would not go through. ”
This obviously wasn’t true.
Why lie about something like that ??

Now you say …
“nothing … if the transaction fee is 26 cents or more. There is going to be a per-transaction service charge. At one time this was over a dollar up front, plus a percentage on a sliding scale. ”

The first one was a lie, I don’t believe this one either, as
I ,just as the other poster, just tried to drop a quarter in the bucket, and had no problem.
Why lie about this too ??

To discourage people from donating.

Sometimes folks don’t realize just how much a little bit can do.
If every person that stops by here drops even .25 per week, or every couple of days, it won’t even dent their budget, but it will have the effect of a nice rainstorm. Those little drops will add up, and cause a flood Just imagine every person that walks past your home throwing a quarter in a bucket ?

This person is not being truthful, and trying to discourage donating, so, I have donated ..again Everytime someone bashes Jon or tries to discourage donating, I will donate. I have confirmed personally that small amounts all the way down to .25 cents work just fine, and even someone like me, on a fixed income due to disability, can regularly donate, knowing those small amounts WILL add up if enough of us do it.

Help Gachnar pay for the lawsuit.

everyone push that button

It doesn’t seem like much but ….
How much would he have if 100,000 people send in only
a quarter each ??

Nice huh ?

Just now did it myself. 1.00 went through without any problems.
small amount work perfectly fine. There seems to be NO
minimum. Even if you can only do a little, please go ahead.
It all adds up.

Exactly which post of yours got tagged as Gachnar, I wonder ?

Just curious.

Copy/paste of what a Gachnar is… LOL

Gachnar manifests & is mocked
from Fear Itself (Season 4) Next Clip in Episode

(The mark on the floor begins to glow. There’s rumbling)

WILLOW: Look!

(We get a close up of Gachnar, and he’s one ugly dude. Gachnar looks up and the camera pulls back to reveal that he is tiny, maybe a half a foot tall, if that.)

BUFFY: This is Gachnar?

XANDER: Big overture. Little show.

Gachnar: I am the dark lord of nightmares!

(Buffy tries not to laugh)

Gachnar: The bringer of terror! Tremble before me. Fear me!

WILLOW: He - he’s no cute!

Gachnar: Tremble!

XANDER: Who’s a little fear demon? Come on! Who’s a little fear demon!

GILES: Don’t taunt the fear demon.

XANDER: Why, can he hurt me?

GILES: No, it’s just - tacky. Be that as it may, Buffy, when it comes to slaying…

BUFFY: Size doesn’t matter?

Gachnar: They’re all going to abandon you, you know.

BUFFY: Yeah, Yeah.

(We get a shot of Buffy’s huge foot as she stomps down and squishes the fear demon.)

LOL

BTW - what’s the big deal about this “gachnar” charactor anyway? One of my posts was declared as such, as were at least several others that were not mine.
(maybe someone could provide a few links to “gachnar’s” previous posts so I can see for myself what all the fuss is about?)

The downside is we have to put up with the effluence.

But that’s OK ; )

CheErs!

I think holding out on principle is it exactly.

“”If Sharman wins it’ll make life a potential hell for bloggers in Canada, at the least. And you can bet the case will be used as a reference for similar actions around the world.”

“I mean ‘cmon,” I can hear someone saying. “That’s really stretching it.” But No. It’s not.”

He works very hard pretending to be different posters.
Always manages to give himself away tho

Went from crass insults to fearmongering.

No ones fooled

Buh By Gachnar

No ones name will be all over anything.

buh bye Gachnar.

re: “settlement”: Did Sharman ever offer to drop the case for a cash payment, and if so, was this rejected or was a counter-offer made?

Regardless, any out of court settlements that might occur would normally not be signed off until the day before the court date begins. Anything sooner would be regarded as capitulation.

Unless Sharman sued for a small sum, such as the RIAA’s typical $3000 - $4000, which any rational lawyer would strongly advise accepting, rather than going to trial and spending ten times / a hundred times / or even a thousand times that amount in legal costs alone.

Other than holding out on principle, this is a no-win court case. Even if Jon Newton counter-sues and wins, Sharman is not going to pay out one red cent, since they have zero assets in Canada (and probably zero assets in Australia as well).

Depending on the laws in Vancouver, Jon could lose everything he owns - or virtually nothing if local laws protect basic personal assets from forteiture.

Texas, for instance, has Homestead Laws (declaring bankrupcy not req’d) which allow a person who loses a high-dollar civil case to keep a long list of personal property, including personal residence, a small farm, car, personal items, tools for self-employment, etc. If that is all a person owns, then they have little or nothing to lose in a lawsuit.

Let’s also remember that O.J. was ordered to pay millions to his victim’s families, but other than giving up his California house, he never lost anything because all his assets were in a Florida “retirement” account which was untouchable under Florida law.

Conversely, in some places in the world, a person could literally lose everything, down to the clothes off his back.

me too and i sent it
