What people threaten to do when you post nasty things about them on the internet.
Isn't "HEH HEH I BET THEY'D CHANGE THEIR TUNE IF WE ISSUED A LAWSUITE" what they say 99% of the time? Way to act just like them. (I know you said you're not really suggesting it...but still.)
It's not an actual possibility at all - surely being HERE of all places has taught you that.
I mean.... You said they were lawsuits and now you're saying they're "equivalent to lawsuits". So... You called them lawsuits because you wanted people to think that they were lawsuits even though that they are NOT lawsuits. Not very precise in your speech there, buddy. Or maybe that's what you mean! THAT'S IT!!! By "Be precise in your speech" he means "Use your words in a way that allows you to controll how what you're saying is interpreted, RATHER THAN what you actually mean"
Hym "They are either lawsuits or they're not. You clearly want people to think they are lawsuits so you lead with the claim that they are lawsuits and then as you reveal more information you dial it back into something MORE TRUE than your original statement. See, Bertrand Russel's criticism of Socrates."
