J.P Holding, served process in third libel lawsuit

Today, James Patrick Holding was forced to answer that undesirable knock at the door, and accept my lawsuit Complaint from a federal marshal.  This is AFTER the Court reviewed the First Amended Complaint and found no reason, based on its claims, to call it "frivolous".

Now Holding has 21 days, or until June 12, to file and serve either an "answer to Complaint" or a "motion to dismiss".

Some may say I was mean to sue Holding in a way forcing him to hire a lawyer, since, because this case won't be short-circuited like the others were, he's looking at a full year's worth of attorney fees, and since this must include preparation for and attending trial, the cost is going to be nearer to $50,000 in total fees, than it will be to the $21,000 he paid to short-change the 2015 lawsuit.  But consider:

a) I believe, and demonstrated that belief with factual and legal argument, that his libels were committed in his capacity as president of Apologetics Afield, so suing his "corporation" (i.e., the thing that forces him to hire a lawyer) is legally appropriate, and

b) There is such intensely horrific hatred between us, forcing him to hire a lawyer is a rather prudent way of providing a bit more guarantee of the case proceeding in a timely expeditious manner, as opposed to us fighting each other on every trifle in creation.  If you saw the emails he and I exchanged before he lawyered up in that 2015 case, you'd understand that I'm actually doing Holding a favor by giving him less opportunity to mouth off and forcing him to reply to me through a lawyer.  His attorney, not being Holding himself, likely isn't going to contact me and say he's offering a pitifully lame settlement out of concern that I might commit suicide.  I'm betting money that the attorney he hires will not have any of the narcissistic obsessive/compulsive pathology Holding has been displaying on the internet since 1998.
