Millennials seem to think that they can corner opposition via email and text. Ummm, it's settlement discussions. None of it is admissable.
I'm old. Definitely in the "Now get off my lawn, you fucking kids!" stage.

In a recent patent lawsuit that needed to be staffed lightly (damages around $1M, not $10M) I relied on a junior guy to handle moving discovery forward. My guy and opposing junior guy started having email fights like this. I was looking at the bills after a month of this: we billed $60,000 for fighting about nonsense. I had to step in and start handling it.
