> We tried every non-public method we knew of first. Does this include empathizing with his position, considering the possibility that he isn't just greedy and crooked and actually believes he is in the right? Did this include truly putting yourself in his shoes and understanding where he is coming from? I assume since you are biased to one side, you are not capable of such empathy. I know I wouldn't be. So, this goes to the point of public shaming, do you really think it is justified? Do you really think you are capable of being objective about this? > I wanted people to know how hard Kyle tried to settle. Sometimes, trying to settle is actually more hurtful to the other party. It comes from a place of "you are a nuisance, here is some nuisance change to go away." If this was truly about money and greed, he probably would have settled. The fact that Jeremy didn't tells me that he probably feels entitled...which means to really reach him you have to speak to his position, not your own. I guess the real question becomes...does Jeremy actually believe he is entitled to that stake? If he does, and if you were in his shoes...would you accept a dismissive, though generous, offer or would you sue for what you believe is yours. I don't know either side, but I can see how both sides would dig their heels in the ground if they both believe they are in the right. I think airing this dispute out publicly, especially in your position and with your admitted bias, should be rethought and considered...because I can see no good coming from this.
