The libertarian in me was about to be pissed off that they were fining him for skepticism.

But it looks like the dumbass actually offered $100,000 for someone to prove it, and the courts merely held him to his promise. Thanks German Court System for not being completely retarded this time.

"this time"?

Most of the things i see the german court system do are completely fine, especially in comparison to the american one. I'm curious why you'd specify "this time".

Probably for exactly the same reason you specified, "especially in comparison to the american one". Most court activity anywhere is banal and "completely fine", which never gets reported on.
