From what I can gather, nothing related to the accusations made by any parties were weighed in the court appearance yesterday -- other than solely whether the Twitter page and/or its operator were encouraging/facilitating what the court would deem harassment.
And let's face it: the Twitter platform itself facilitates harassment. =P So that was an easy win for Flynn, and allowed him to avoid having to contend with whatever evidence may exist for the accusations leveled at him recently while having Beware Quinton Flynn's operator effectively muzzled in speaking on this subject in a space that lends itself to immediately targeting him.
I'll be surprised if it goes further than this. If the accusations against him are as valid as they seem, I can't imagine Quinton would serve his best interests by trying to take things to a defamation hearing where telling the truth is your best defense, and there's probably not quite enough for Beware Quinton Flynn's operator to make a case for suing him for defamation.
If this is indeed the end, I hope the awareness from what they were trying to do and how it played out can at least be of benefit. Twitter can be a double-edged sword for stuff like this. It can help bring things to light or connect people to pull a case together, but if you're legally unprepared, there's an inherent danger in putting too much out in public on the platform.
Sucks, but it happens.
