I think "flaming" overstates the case, but I'm not inclined to argue with you over terminology at the moment. Suffice to say that, of course it took place "after" the fact, because "before" the fact, we tried to reach common ground and comply with them with no "flaming" involved. They weren't satisfied. They wanted more than what we felt was fair and reasonable. Then they started pressing harder on legal suit aspects. Thus, the situation escalated.

According to Business Wire, the flaming that took place after the April Fools day prank, is what compelled them towards the decision to follow through with a law suit.

Ooooooh... Poor Little Bizwire, mortally threatened by three SI members. Just a hint, Humorless One: making fun of people isn't actionable.

Why, just IMAGINE, Cindy! What would you think if people MADE FUN of Bill Gate?!? Or Bill Clinton?!?
