We've swapped numerous messages since then, all of which come from Firepower's server. I never get used to this. They always seem to lead out with a serious-sounding lawsuit threat and <i>then</i> start actually trying to argue the merits of their case. This was just the first time that the threat came from someone who obviously did have the resources to retain a lawyer. Yes, it’s real.

It just goes to show that some people do believe that silly adage: Any publicity is good publicity. It will certainly be good publicity for SOMEONE in this fable, but I wouldn't count on MothBallPower coming out on top. Ah Dan, good to see that the wheels of dodgy legal threats are in motion.

They were sponsoring major sports teams, and such. Unprofessional legal threats are what you expect from J. Random Quack, not someone who gets major coverage (even if it's mostly negative...) in the press. The thing that gets me is that Firepower has, or at least had, serious money to throw around.

Because you know that all serious legal threats are started with a personal insult, as well as having not come from an attorney.
