it's not bashing if it's true.

How about paraphrasing with the intent to belittle and denigrate.

Here's what Ron said "so that the "next guy in line" will be shaking in fear that settlement value is progressively ncreasing"

Here's what TPL/PTSC actually said "TPL's rationale for not disclosing terms is to avoid this information setting minimum or upper limits on future licensing deals, which would make it harder for TPL in future negotiations with prospective licensees. Potential licensees would have access to this information through Patriot's public filings"

I see nothing about fear or anything of the sort.

I'm sure Ron, in his legal dealings, feels it important not to give an opponent information that he is not required to so as not to possibly give them any kind of edge at all. Yet he refuses to accept this concept in TPL's dealings.

I'm done for the evening. So teremoto, redbird, LL, whoever, have at it without any response form me.
