It appears that for me to "be a party to" would involve serious evidence of my alleged fraud, and the gc attorney has done everything he could to intimidate me into not supporting my sub. The sub's attorney has vindicated my presence, the foreclosure moves forward, I get to testify as a witness as planned, and everyone is at peace (except you two). Let me know if you want more fuel for the fire.

You are NOT a party in a lawsuit unless you are NAMED as defendant OR plaintiff. You cannot be "noticed' as a defendant. If you are NAMED as a defendant, you are a defendant. You aren't clear from what you said, but if you are a defendant you will give testimony but specifically you are named as a defendant (a party) or you are merely on the witness list.
As a witness you are not a party, you are just that, a witness.
Glad you seem to have, at least, in part resolved the issue.
I respond to misinformation regardless of from whence it comes. AND I respond to comments about me personally when they appear, I am entitled to respond and I will continue to do so.
If you want to call that "fuel for the fire", wait till you get into a court room.
