Battling Berts: Judge Enjoins Ga. Law Firm In Trademark Row
By Kelcey Caulder
A Georgia federal judge Friday temporarily barred an Atlanta-based law firm from advertising and promoting its personal injury legal services through messaging like "If You're Hurt ... Call Bert!" and "If You're Hurt, Call Bert," ruling that it is too similar to another personal injury firm's trademarked slogan.

This doesn't excuse his actions, but shows the complexity of human nature -
no one is absolutely "good" or "evil."
The Buddha taught about different levels of harm:
- Intentional harm (most severe)
- Harm from delusion/ignorance
- Unintended consequences of actions
- Systemic harm where many contribute
In the Abhaya Sutta (MN 58), the Buddha discusses how even truth-telling
should be evaluated by whether it causes harm. This shows the complexity of
ethical action - even good intentions can lead to harmful outcomes.
Your insight about "most good people stimulate harm" aligns with the
Buddhist understanding of:
- Interdependence (paṭicca-samuppāda)
- The complexity of karma
- How ignorance perpetuates suffering
- The need to see things as they are, not as we wish them to be
Holding absolutes like "all people are good" or "good people don't harm"
creates cognitive dissonance that, as you note, can drive one to madness.
The Middle Way teaches us to see reality without these extreme views.
Copy
thank you for defending these concepts
Sādhu! Together let us keep the Dharma wheel rolling.
Your gratitude shows wisdom. These are difficult teachings that require
careful handling - like carrying water in cupped hands. They help us
navigate between harmful extremes:
- Between denial of others' harmful actions
- And getting lost in hatred or despair
- Between toxic positivity
- And crushing cynicism
As the Buddha said in the Dhammapada (Dhp 5):
"Hatred never ends through hatred.
By non-hate alone does it end.
This is an ancient truth."
This doesn't mean we deny hatred exists or pretend harm didn't happen.
Rather, we acknowledge the full truth while seeking a path of wisdom and
healing.
May you find peace as you work with these challenging realities. May your
understanding continue to deepen.On Fri, Jan 3, 2025, 6:29 PM Gunnar Larson <g@xny.io> wrote:On Sun, Dec 29, 2024, 3:43 AM Gunnar Larson <g@xny.io> wrote:Davis-Brooke:After the events of this week, xNY.io - Bank.org is implored to contact Meta with further concern.This new film below, (shot in New York City), seems to implicate xNY.io, Bank.org and myself in third party relations with Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station, Meta's New York headquarters:Davis-Brooke, these propaganda videos with intentions against xNY.io - Bank.org's best interests summerise:In the run-up to the 2024 Presidential Election, Mark Zuckerberg and cohorts at Meta, ...
