But, he was the first to claim that a criminal offense was committed.

You keep flogging this straw man over and over and over and over again...

For the millionth time, the BSA could have filed criminal charges in this case. The dollar amounts were sufficient to warrant criminal prosecution. In my personal opinion, I think it met the bar. But that's solely my opinion -- and it's irrelevant, in any case, since the BSA went the civil route.

From what I understand, in many states, offering to refrain from prosecuting someone for committing a crime in exchange for payment substantially beyond bare restitution is called extortion, and is itself a criminal offense.

BSA is a protection racket.

I have been studying all the tech threads that we have been involved with since I started posting here and have determined that there is more than flame wars going on against us. These Linux trolls have now gone NUCLEAR and are now using the moderators against us in an attempt to get us banned on Free Republic.

Their stratagy seems to be to use either FR posting policy
banned profanity or personal attacks against us and getting us to respond with our own garbage so they can sic the moderators on US.

I am proposing that we now go nuclear also. Rather than responding to any further profanity or personal attacks by these Linux blowhards WE should be the first one to the ReportAbuse button when they occur, in effect either shutting them up or getting THEM banned on FR instead.

This message is being sent to The Members of the Coral Snake Ping list ONLY and should not be repeated over regular FR channels. The Linux troll justlurking made
a BIG mistake when he threatened that we would be history
on FR. In war you DO NOT blab your stratagy to the planet.
Because he did I can now propose this identical preemtive
counter stratagy against THEM.
