@Sean_C2@RhaenyraTruther You do know appeals to authority are not always bad or fallacious, right? Saying I only take medical advice from doctors is also an appeal to authority, because the authority was bestowed via merit. I would listen to a lot of other better writers over Condal. He’s mediocre.
@Sean_C2@RhaenyraTruther His word not being law isn’t the problem, it’s the fact that GRRM has written a multi-million dollar award winning series and is obviously a better writer compared to Ryan Condal…and ryan still doesn’t wanna listen.

Judge throws out letter from Justin Baldoni’s team that claimed Blake Lively threatened Taylor Swift to publicly support her:
“The letter is improper and must be stricken. […] The sole purpose of the letter is to promote public scandal by advancing inflammatory accusations, on information and belief, against Lively and her counsel. It transparently invites a press uproar by suggesting that Lively and her counsel attempted to ‘extort’ a well-known celebrity. Retaining the letter on the docket would be of no use to the court. […] Counsel is advised that future misuse of the court’s docket may be met with sanctions.”
