I am all for harrassing the elder body. I personally don't care whether I win or lose in a court of law. I would use the legal system to, at the least, let the individual elders
feel the heat a little bit. It is a POSSIBILITY that they can lose against you. It is a POSSIBILITY that defending themselves could bankrupt them. You think their wives wouldn't worry them to death?
Give them hell, that's my position. Make them feel the heat.
