This is not a democracy (it’s a republic), and this is not Democratic Underground (it’s FreeRepublic).
And no, I’m not voting for the liberal mentioned in your tagline.

The point was, the superlawyer power couple threatened to ruin the lady just by suing her to death, pointing out that they could do this for free on their own time. That wasn't their only threat. From page 3 of the article:
This week Jonathan Selbin wrote ABC News and asked, "Have you asked Ms. Huff how she would react if we put dog poison in the shared hallway?" So we asked her."How can you say something like this?" Huff said.
On Thursday night she agreed to his demands.
Here is one of the demands he listed in
the statement he gave John Stossel:
We told Ms. Huff that we would quickly dismiss our lawsuit if she would simply agree to use these air purifiers and to put a fan in her window blowing out.
I don't believe they offered to pay the ridiculous cost of heating and cooling her apartment while blowing it all out the window.

freekitty! Hope all is well. :-) I just don't like to see people getting upset and angry at/with each other when a good solution could be found to make nearly everyone happy. That's what makes people mad at each other, mad at law, and mad at government. It doesn't have to be that way — that's no reason for it.

I just don't get it. Maybe I'm dumber than Sir Eric. :-) You don't like to be around smoke, but you live in an apartment complex. You know there's a possibility of encountering smoke. Why would you put yourself in that position? Why would you not live in a single-unit where you wouldn't have to worry about it. You see, that's me. I take responsibilty for myself. I put myself in control so I won't have to force my way on others. I know it's not always the case in every situation, but I think you get my drift.

Oh, I absolutely get your drift. What I don’t get is how these bullies got away with threatening to poison her dog if she didn’t submit to their unreasonable demands.

That is a very well written and well researched post. You said it all.
I have nothing intelligent to add. All I would do is fart in the elevator like I said.
Let them spend hours of their meaningless life lobbying their liberal local assemblycritters to ban elevator farting.
Good luck to these miserable unhappy fools who think Gubmint can save them from every annoyance.

The typical liberal fag. Compare his pic to one of Corzine,Baldacci, or Bloomberg, you’ll see the same self-righteous arrogant look.

If I had neighbors like that, I could learn to like cauliflour tacos with extra beans and garlic.

Sorry, but you’re wrong. They DIDN’T get what they wanted-which was/is to remove every user of tobacco from the planet, by any means possible. Giving smokers the death penalty if caught smoking MIGHT be enough for them, but I seriously doubt it.

Dark, I don't know who Baldacci is nor do I care. (don't you dare even try to tell me who he/she/it is) But this if for you my man...

That’s the type of mentality you see on FR these days. Why are you surprised? It depends on whether or not it’s something they personally like, though.

"I am all for banning smoking in public places, restaurants especially"
Really? Even Hookah bars and cigar bars where people go to enjoy a smoke?
