You're making this sound a lot more heinous than it is. The name of the site just implies it doesn't involve Spez, and it's just a nickname. There's a large difference between "spezless" and something like "huffmansucks".

I'm trying to put myself into spez's shoes. If I were him, I would sue. Sure... It's quite benign at surface level, but I'd definitely sue if this became popular.

Yes, that's what I'd expect from an admin who abuses their power to win arguments through manipulation and falsely accuses others of blackmailing him while being disproven by evidence. If he sues "spezless" it's not because he's being reasonable, but because he's spez.

Lol. Huffman has the legal rights and ownership of the name spez, as much as you have the legal rights and ownership of the name laserbeam.
Sue on what grounds?
