It's just as easy to file in other districts as the Eastern District. Trolls like the Eastern District because of the judges currently sitting on the Eastern District, as well as the caliber of juries in the Tyler area. They're not super educated, easy to manipulate, and have a "well, they wouldn't have filed if they didn't do something wrong" attitude.

It’s ״just deserts”. Plus your point is odd. It’s not the filing that’s easier.
