The guy's name is Harsh, what other actions would you expect from him?

But seriously, looking at the doc and not mentioned in the article. Harsh apparently tried to negotiate, failed, then tried to "transfer" the domain. When Kneen called him out on this, Harsh suggested it was someone else, and that he wouldn't have done this since he found a suitable alternative.

So I'm pretty sure Harsh was being purposely manipulative in that situation. None of this makes any sense and is a waste of resources so I hope Harsh loses badly.

Not just "Harsh", but "Harsh Mehta".

Now if you're going to tell me that Harsh Meta isn't the best computer-game supervillian name ever, I don't know what is.

What's particularly sad to see is that in the process of publishing the court filings, they've also very obviously published the defendants home address too (whois not withstanding).

Not only was he being manipulative, he was being outright dishonest.

On 25 June, he told Kneen that "it was an internal mixup and the error has been corrected" -- a day after the civil suit was filed (cf. screenshot of tweet in article).

To me -- and possibly to a judge -- that shows "bad faith".

Isn't Harsh just a mildly-common Indian name like Richard?

Probably Harshil is. Harsh must be the shortened version.

Its not Haaaarsh. Its H-rsh, which means joy in Hindi/Marathi.

Let's make fun of names from other cultures! Real cool.
