Only in writing and in voice mails. Otherwise, please, are you joking? When there is no record of the event, litigators can be nasty. I know. I can be one of the nastiest (when it will be in the best interest of my client, of course, and when it is not being recorded).
Sometimes in litigation you catch more flies with honey, but sometimes, you can push opposing counsel around and intimidate them and it will result in a quicker or better outcome for your client. You have to size the situation up properly to know. It is most often useful when opposing counsel are not seasoned litigators or are trying to litigate in an area that they don't have much legal expertise in and they have a small client without much reserve to litigate. It can be really fun. Hehehehe.
