I hate to see good people losing their businesses over this kind of thing though. I can’t personally afford to be a martyr as I have bills to pay so at the end of the day, I would just bake an obviously substandard cake, call it an accident, charge full price anyways, and go on with my life without any legal hassles. To each their own though.
See post 41 for a better option.
I understand this completely, and did I find myself in a similar circumstance, I would have to ponder long and hard what would be my next move, but I suspect I would end up committing felony assault on the plaintiffs, their lawyers, and likely any judge who rendered such a decision.
I don't want to be a Martyr either, but others will pay in the future if you don't protect them now.
People used to wonder why the Jews wouldn't overwhelm the guards at the concentration camps, because they easily had the numbers to do so.
The reason this never happened is because no individual wants to be a martyr, and as a result an evil can be allowed to grow quite large and powerful.
They killed them in groups that were too small to resist.
