No, folks, Nancy K. Stouffer's legal quest is not, repeat not, over.
You think you were gobsmacked before by her chutzpah? Check out her
statement at her realmuggles.com website. (I browsed to it wondering
if the site had been taken down yet). Among many other things, Nancy
says
"...I have been slandered, called crazy in public forum's, had
attempts made on my life and many other threats, libeled and labeled
as a liar and fraud, been cheated and stopped from earning any income
from a lifetime body of work, and after all of that Ms. Rowling's
found it necessary to stand before the world and gloat about the fact
that my family will be even more emotionally and financially
devastated..."
Attempts made on her life, indeed. Probably some nut said something
stupid, I'm sure, taking her far more seriously than she ever
deserved.
Ms. Stouffer has actually filed, or said she's going to file, a
motion for reconsideration of the ruling, as if the court will decide
that it was wrong to find that she perpetrated a fraud on the Court,
and that Stouffer's actually in the right. After that, she says she's
going to the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Some people never learn. In the meantime, she still has to come up
with $50,000 in penalties, *plus* yet-to-be-quantified costs. In the
spirit of forgiveness and tolerance HPfGU is known for, we should
offer the
======Top Five Ways for Nancy Stouffer to Raise $50,000========
5. Make a movie entitled "Larry Potter and the Shame of Secrets."
Try to hook in people who couldn't get into HP and the Chamber of
Secrets because it was sold out.
4. Go on an autograph tour of the Sav-a-Dollar chain.
3. Set up a booth in the huckster room at Nimbus 2003. Put a sign up
that says "The Real Nimbus."
2. Challenge J.K. Rowling to five rounds on Celebrity Boxing. If she
declines, put glasses on Tonya Harding and pass her off as JKR.
1. Set up a dunking booth at Nimbus 2003. (Heidi and Amy fight over
who gets the first pitch)
