It seems there are two sides to this story. This is the lawsuit that was filed:

http://wickershamdocs.com:5000/sharing/cdsFH57pX

I have no personal involvement in any of it, got it from the clerk's site. I hope this stuff isn't true, if it is, it obviously looks, uh...not good.

Can't we all just get along?

[KenFSU]

I don't know, sounds like a stretch to me.

Gonna be hard to prove anything in the absence of stock certificates or formal records of any kind, and you'd think these issues would have been addressed years ago if factual as stated, not after the falling out.

I wouldn't take trumped up allegations in a Complaint as true...ever.

^ "Exceeding."  That's just a jurisdictional requirement to get into circuit court.

[remc86007]

Yeah, that went over my head.

That was an interesting write-up from Gancarski.

I can't read that case, Chris, but I presume I can go to the clerk's website, register and do so.

He has no legal standing in this.  There were no signed agreements with him and the other site members.  Nothing at all.  He is just trying to come away with some easy money.  I doubt the court will hear it and if it does, he walks with nothing. What a damn shame but this is his style through and through.

Only 15k to get Dare to go away?!? I wish I had known that years ago......

We should have started a Gofundme for that endeavor.  I could just see the money roll in.

[RattlerGator]

Just finished reading the Complaint. Definitely a big, fat nothing-burger.

He clearly, by his own pleading, assented to a course of conduct over the years that he now wants to complain about with -- unfortunately for him -- no bylaws filed to constrain or shape corporate activity.

I'll say this, though: that pleading sounded like Stephen. Another unfortunate fact for "the" Dare.

I don't think it would matter. They could give SD complete control/ownership of the site, but it seems doomed to me regardless if I'm being honest. I hope I'm wrong. The recent drama probably only compounded the issues with lack of content & spotty forum posts.

I wonder why he didn't hire Chris as his lawyer?

[Midway ®]

The complaint sounds over Dare-matic.

I am another poster who disappeared after Mr. Dare's relentless inability to objectively debate, rather than uncivilly demonize and denounce, both my frequent posts highlighting the fallacies of continuing to operate and/or expand the Skyway and my person (whom he had never met or talked to other than through postings on this site).  He never effectively refuted my facts or position, just emotionally threw outrageous temper tantrums because I didn't justify or align with his position that the Skyway was the be-all of Downtown.  I did enjoy needling him with my nickname for his favorite boondoggle, calling it the $ky-high-way     I take comfort in time having told, and continuing to tell, that my position will be on the right side of history .

Stephen and I did have many fruitful  and enlightening discussions about Jacksonville's history and odd facts, often working together to uncover ever more of the same.  Unfortunately, the above behavior led me to leave all that behind.
