I was posting on another board and another posters said to me that I needed to be less judgemental. Bawahahahaha!!! Anyhow, I told her that when I wanted advice from her I would ask and until then to put a lid on it and didn't she have something better to do like go write an advice column. Clearly, not my greatest flame ever, but I digress.

So then the stupid bitch tells me she is a solicitor/lawyer and I better watch it or she was going to "come after me." Well, of course I told her I was an attorney, too, and said for her to bring it on because there is nothing I like more than a good fight.

Now here is the good part, she tells me what firm she is with and asks me to tell what firm I am with. Of course, I don't tell her since I am not a dumb ass like she is. Now I think I have identified who she is at that firm based on other things she has posted in the past. She is young, fresh out of law school and the firm in based in another English speaking country but they have a US office. Well respected firm that does mostly transactional work for big corporate clients.

Should I or should I not report to the firm that one of their associates is threatening to sue people (without any basis) and throwing around the firm's name on internet chat boards as if that is some kind of threat?

I am leaning towards passing on the information to her firm. Any firm I have ever worked at would fire an associate who was posting the firm name like that on the internet. This isn't some ambulance chasing firm. It is actually quite a stodgy firm. I am sure that they would cringe if they found out, especially given the type of board we were posting on.

N.B. WTTW! since this arises from another Board that are serious copyright issues raised. Silence is advisable on this one issue.
