What it means: she said haha to my paragraph

“Plaintiff submitted a paragraph. Defendant responded with 'haha.' The court is placing the laugh under forensic review.”

“A vulnerable paragraph answered with 'haha yeah I get that' is not a conversation; it is a Nerf dart fired at a legal brief. The 'haha' may be nervous, but it still minimizes the moment. Defendant did not answer the actual question: does she want the same thing, and is this going anywhere? The court rules: do not write a second paragraph to compensate for the first one being dodged. Ask one short yes-or-no follow-up. If the answer remains fog, the answer is fog.”
