I've already told you, above, how to make the most of your 15 days; pretty helpful I hope.

I'm trying to get you to see the other side of the issues you raise. I am sure that many of us were pretty peeved when the first DRS arrived. Since this appears to be your first, it'll probably bother you more than any future ones. People that get all huffy about the DRS, when a complaint arrives in their inbox, puzzle me. I don't like some aspects of the DRS but I knew about it when I registered my first domain name and it is something to factor in when you make a registration.

As a domainer you've got to expect DRS's, even if you have a broad range of generics. Dare I say cost of doing business again? When you get one, it might wind you up. However it really just is something you've got to get used too. I don't think I can say anything more on this issue.

Yes, isn't that what happens oh smart one? oh thank you for shedding new light on the situation. Your intelligence is shown to all in the last paragraph... and as for if the process took longer it would cost more money? what rubbish, it's the same process it would just be longer.

Time is money with the majority of things. If the DRS process was dragged out for the time you have suggested, it wouldn't be as efficient. There would be more paper-chasing and more chance of correspondance being forgotten or lost. Anyone using a lawyer would probably incur higher charges and disputes wouldn't be resolved within a reasonable period of time. Complainants would go to court instead. The DRS is designed to alleviate the time, the cost and the bureaucracy that *could* ordinarily surround this sort of complaint. Either party has the option to go to court at any time. If a Complainant elected to do so, ironically giving your more time, would this be preferable to you? I suspect not. If the DRS was not viewed as significantly more efficient than court, Complainants wouldn't use it. So there is your choice.

I don't actually hate anyone and I'd not think anything I say on here could be considered "filth". I actually think I toned things down when we all moved here from the "other place".

That's fair enough re the courts and a lengthy DRS.

In a perverse kind of way I'm actually enjoying it. I face up to events, it's my nature but is more than 100 pages of exhibits extreme though? haha it shouldn't be that much, half maybe, afterall most are pictures and quick examples... I'll even be using their exhibits as evidence.

I know to stick to the facts but to get my point across and to ensure every accusation is answered and countered I may need all the print outs.

I only have to argue two points, those being a defence against abusive registration and two counts of unregistered trademark however when the complainant brings up another 20 different points one of which a defamation, I should explain my reasons shouldn't I?

Then the expert gets a fuller picture of why I exist, why I do what I do and why the domain in my possession should be considered fair use and non abusive and really has nothing to do with the complainant whatsoever.

I don't understand anyone who gets all huffy about being called filthy.

I was just trying to point out the light in your argument. (and had to prepare the ground!). No serious offence intended !
