Good luck.

This isn’t some kind of viral ad for _The Adjustment Bureau_, is it…?

I didn’t see it, but I’m betting it has something to do with some of **Darth** ’s previous threads, so I’m actually glad that thread he’s referring to is gone. Legal issues and all that.

I saw the thread in question before it went. I think. Best of luck and I’m glad you have some solid legal counsel. Life is too short to let someone else ruin yours.

Seriously, if you’re going to be this cryptic; just send the appropriate Dopers a PM.

Jeesh!

Ah, it was probably the thread about his wife wielding a knife and getting put in jail. I’m guessing there are legal reasons involved.

If that’s indeed it, my best wishes for a speedy and good resolution to the situation for everyone involved, **Darth.**

</div>

I thought a spoiler would be good enough; if not, a mod is free to delete my post as always. If we’re not to talk about this at all, I suggest this thread get deleted, too, and **Darth** talk about it in PMs - if he starts a thread about it on a public message board, people are going to talk about it.
