Yeah, sometimes people say "You're in the US, why don't you ignore it until they try to enforce it here?" -- and the answer is that sure you'd fight any enforcement in the US but you only have a limited set of chances to kill the case, and if you miss them they're gone. You absolutely will lose in court if you present an inadequate defense.
What a shame it would be to lose a transparently baseless case through mismanagement. Ironically, it's the strong cases that you're almost sure to lose that you might as well phone in or not defend at all.
In this case the plaintiff does everything he can to jack up the costs, including bombing the case with irrelevant stuff, gaslighting, etc. The courts have caught him doing this in other cases and chasized him in their rulings (complaining for forgeries and perjury) but the recourse so far has been confined to wrist-slap grade consequences.
A lot of the structure we have in our courts (both in the US and UK) to ensure good faith behavior is setting things up so that cheating makes you ultimately lose the case. But if you didn't seriously expect to win on the merits (instead only by the other side screwing up) and were mostly just trying to use the process to cause harm then it doesn't really matter if your forgeries and perjury ultimately cause you to lose.
This is honestly such a horrible abuse of the system. Too much of what we have is predicated on not preventing the Eye of Sauron from falling on you. Sorry to hear about your unfair troubles.
In the UK one must lose multiple cases under the same subject matter. He uses shell companies to bring the cases and brings them under wildly varying subject matter. It's pretext, but until it's attempted it'll be unclear if it'll be possible to get the court to see through the pretext.
