I fucked up pronouns in this story - amended. No one to blame but me.

You're probably far too nice and mature for behaviour like this but I certainly laughed out loud like Nelson from The Simpsons.

He fucked around and he found out.

Anyone else feeling for Sean Plunket? Because I’m not, especially. I’ve seen that guy scream “fuck you” at a woman, in a room crowded with journalists. It was an ugly moment. I’ve always wondered what makes someone act that way, and what the gulf between their public and more private lives might be.

The joy I feel over this makes me feel a LITTLE guilty because I try so hard not to wish people ill, but honestly fuck him.

Was delighted to see the headline the other day and even more delighted to see this email in my inbox. Sometimes bad things happen to bad people. 💕

Hmm, 3 months in prison or a $2000 fine... why not both for this extra special guy?

If I believed in Karma this is it.

And on an unrelated subject the FAA has grounded Musk after his rocket flamed out. It seems that raining debris on a town is not welcome. Ah but rocketman claimed that it was a success.

I'm surprised how low the fine/ punishment is. This is a serious breach of privacy that goes beyond h Plunkett's vendetta of you..

Definitely needs to be some re-working of laws to avoid the use of vexatious litigation which this whole business sprung from.

It's a pity that we'll likely never get to know the factual background to how Sean got the family court details due to the Family Court secrecy provisions.

I've always thought it was fairly obvious that it was Organ who did those clumsy felt-pen redactions to a photocopy of the family court order - which only he had at that point since neither of the respondents had been served.

I imagine Sean demanded those photos as proof that David was indeed named in a genuine order to satisfy himself that he was safe from obviously defaming David. Sean isn't stupid. When Sean was tweeting the allegations and nobody was believing him, I think Sean got frustrated with his twitter critics and impulsively posted the photo's to 'own them' which I don't think Organ actually wanted.

Organ appears to be the 'cold calculating anger' type, whereas Sean is more the 'hot impulsive anger' type. They've reportedly both done some pretty anti-social things (i.e. bullying) but appear to have quite different internal psychology. So I think Organ and Plunket both misread each other.

I suspect Organ chose Sean because he knew his intense dislike for David would mean Sean wouldn't dig too deeply into the accuser. But it would appear Sean's impulsiveness and very low tolerance for criticism meant Organ then lost control of his 'useful idiot'.
