just an update on the karen case.
i finally got a response from her when i filed the form 10, but it was just to ask for an extension "due to covid-19", which is just a bullshit excuse. as far as i can tell, her paralegal dumped her at the last minute, but that's hardly an excuse given that she should have filed a response in march and has only been given this long due to covid-19, in the first place.
i've indicated that i don't consent to the request, which unleashed an entitled tirade about how she's a victim of harassment (a claim rejected by the court), that i'm a vexatious litigator (in fact, i've won both of the two cases i've seen go to trial at the landlord and tenant board, and that is the extent of the litigation i've launched and seen to fruition), that i'm stupid (i was a gifted child.) and uneducated (while i only have an undergraduate math degree, i have more completed university credits than most phd students, including enough to get a master's degree in math, a bsc in computer science and an undergraduate degree in the sociology of law) and don't understand what i'm doing and that she'll have me thrown back in jail at once if she feels inclined to.
it's really something else - this is somebody that's clearly never been challenged by anybody. she was no doubt raised as a princess by wealthy parents, and has been conditioned to act like an aristocrat since the day she was born. in the face of a challenge to her authority, she's completely melted into a ball of idiocy, like a petulant child.
i sent a series of emails this evening systematically debunking each of her claims (as i tend to do) with facts and evidence. she's been completely dismantled, completely destroyed.
but, the point of importance is this - she was supposed to file a response a long time ago. the court sent her a letter at the beginning of november telling her to file by the 17th or forfeit the case. so, this didn't sneak up on her - it's been clear for months that this was imminent. and, instead of filing a response, she's sent a series of snotty, abusive, demeaning letters full of false information to court staff demanding special treatment, which i've now shown to be full of false information.
if she wanted leniency in good faith, she would have filed a response. she does not - she is not intending to file one. she doesn't think she's required to. she thinks it's beneath her to acknowledge the accusations. as i expected...
she might still get leniency, but she doesn't deserve it; she's done everything she possibly can to harm herself and the court would be well within it's jurisdiction and well within precedent to tell her time's up and award me damages at once.
i couldn't have asked for a better outburst.
