Let me get this straight. If a lawyer threatens to sue, that is "blackmail"?

That is how you see it? If you would confirm that that is your view, then we could proceed further. (Maybe).

. He threatened to sue me too

huh?? I sure don't recall that.

Nor can I imagine saying that, unless you were doing something even more vicious than I can recall your doing.

JLA didn't TRY to blackmail them?

Now, Laz, get real.

Blackmail is a technical term which requires a person to extort something to which they are not legally entitled from another party.

As we both know, all I did was demand that SI do those things it was legally required to do and not do those things it was legally prohibited from doing.

That's not blackmail by ANY stretch of the imagination.

If you're honorable, you'll apologize for the libel. If you're not, of course, you won't.
