Well, no, frivolous lawsuits absolutely cannot be ignored. That will result in a summary judgment against you. In fact, the orange shithead became infamous for illegally refusing to pay contractors, then overwhelming them with frivolous lawsuits which would force the victim to back down because they couldn’t afford the legal fees to defend themselves

Whether the allegation is reasonable or not is irrelevant. If you don’t defend yourself, you lose. If you can’t afford decent representation, you lose. Objective truth doesn’t even count. The wording is the law, whatever precedent exists from previous cases (even if it’s obviously bullshit), and correctly following obtuse rules in how you present your argument are all that matters.

So, call it pedantic if you want, whatever; our legal system just does not work the way you’re implying. At all.

Since it seemed to have still passed under the radar, let me rephrase: they can be ignored when discussing statistics and viable law.

Ofc any actual lawsuit must be literally dealt with through the court system.

But when you’re talking about laws and suits, they do not need to be accounted for on the same level as legitimate cases

    I was clarifying my point, not moving goalposts. I can’t help if you assumed the goal was in a different place and argued based on that false assumption. That’s why I clarified my point since you seemed to have consistently missed it.
    
    My point has not changed nor has the context in which I made it.

    …I was speaking with the understanding that frivolous lawsuits can be ignored.
