As Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere, he was greeted by groaning and sighing coming from outside the Panzermobile. Following all the noise, took our brave kitty pilot to the
Publishers Weekly site. There he found a post about the Demos Parneros lawsuit against Barnes and Noble. This lawsuit (and counter-suit) have been dragging on for two years.

| It's been going on for years. |
According to the post by Andrew Albanese, Barnes and Noble's arguments to get portions of Parneros' lawsuit dismissed will be heard in court in August. Barnes and Noble ex-CEO Parneros filed the lawsuit in 2018 after he was fired. In his lawsuit he says he is unemployable because the press release announcing his termination ruined his reputation and led others to believe he was fired for sexual harassment. Barnes and Noble counters that all the press release said was that he was terminated for "violating company policy." Due to the direct wording of the press release the company is asking the court to dismiss the defamation portion of the lawsuit. There are links included in the post to previous posts about the lawsuit and to copies of the court filings.
Panzer says, "When this little kitty read the press release sexual harassment didn't even enter his mind until Demos Parneros filed the lawsuit and said he wasn't fired for sexual harassment."
Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow all the links, bring two thermoses of tea and twelve muffins and twelve cookies (biscuits) because those court papers are really long.
