Can we just drop this...... Let those involved directly resolve this with the professionals outside of SI. Thanks in advance.

I'm not Tim's lawyer. As to doing "considerable legal research", it took me about a minute to find those 2 statutes. I have been doing this for 15 years. Any good attorney can find a claim for monetary damages. Tim wouldn't have to. He could just go for an injunction. A plaintiff need only show he has been harmed in some way. Even if the defendants win the case, they still lost. You still get legal proceedings. You still get the legal bills. The defendants in the case, if they don't have a lot of money, have the pleasure of getting a second mortgage on their house and telling their kids they can't go away to college because there is no money. For what? To get some laughs at someone's expense on SI? That is potentially a pretty expensive laugh. You never know who you are screwing with on the internet. You don't seem to understand that the law can be used as a sword as well as a shield. It happens all the time with well financed clients.
