Very entertaining, it reminds me of an old Buddhist parable about "the ingratitude of the crocodiles". Very bad form for these deluded people to keep threatening litigation and doom etc. At the same time it's hilarious stuff, I wonder what other ridiculous scenarios they might pop up in in times ahead.
Looking around, he found a crocodile caught in a net; unable to escape, the crocodile cried out pitifully to the boy. The boy, however, was reluctant to save the crocodile, feeling that if he saved it, the crocodile was sure to eat him up. But the crocodile pleaded with him, tears streaming down its face, and said, ‘Honestly, I promise you that I won’t devour you. Please save me!’
The boy, convinced of its sincerity, began to cut the net that imprisoned the crocodile. No sooner was its head free from the net than the crocodile grabbed the boy’s leg in its jaws.
Now it was the boy’s turn to cry out in tears, ‘Hey, you dirty croc! Is this fair?’ The crocodile responded philosophically, ‘What to do? Such is the way of the world! Such is life!’ and continued to devour the boy.
