Yea, understandable why you thought Facebook sued Lamebook. However, Lamebook sued Facebook initially (Facebook filed in CA shortly thereafter). Facebook threatened them, and Lamebook decided to strike first and sue in a favorable forum (Texas I believe). IF someone threatens to sue you, you can file a "declaratory relief" action where you sue the person that threatened you. You are basically saying to the court, "the dude that is threatening me is full of shit; please resolve in my favor and make the dude that threatened me pay my costs".
That is the "daring move" Lamebook is talking about.
I've read Facebook's motion to move the venue (it is online if you look around). It is kinda funny, because before the lawsuit, Facebook's lawyer wanted to talk to the Lamebook lawyer, and the Lamebook said, "I'll get back to you soon...I have a CRAZY busy day tomorrow...." The next day, Lamebook sued Facebook ROFL. Yep, he was crazy busy alright.
