Can anyone opine on why Gawker settled? Was it because the standards of evidence are different in a court of law than in an academic forum? Or because Gawker didn't have the resources to fight a court battle? Or that a settlement was simply less costly for Gawker than fighting it in court? Or (improbable as it might seem) they hired an attorney who didn't know how to leverage the history as it is narrated in this forum? Luke lfernandez.org On Thu, Jan 5, 2017 at 7:49 AM, Paul N.

This story would make great fodder for an article in The Conversation.
Any takers (Tom)? Half the story is already written in this email thread — oops, I mean Ayyaduraimail (TM). It could be a group product.
