Look, both your team and the other fellow involved in your dispute are in the wrong. And by wrong, I mean that you're both shaking your proverbial gender-specific parts around a crowded street, shouting about who's part is bigger, and trying to get the passersby to agree with your side or his. No. One. Cares. Put your shit away and handle this like men. Either reconcile or go to war, i.e. court. Just stop acting like you're still in high school and trying to win the who-likes-me-more popularity contest.

These guys were being dragged through the mud in public and they got their side of the story out there. Are you really objecting to that? If it pains you to read it, I'd suggest not clicking.

  They took it to court. That could just as easily be classified as dragging someone through the mud in public. That said I can't see either side being completely innocent. Now that they've taken it this far, it'd be in the interests of both sides to resolve it as quickly and gracefully as possible, preferably outside the courts. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.

I don't have an opinion on who's right in this case, but I've always found that in most disputes, the truth ultimately lands somewhere in the middle.

    As the Vorlons [0] used to say, "Understanding is a three-edged sword; there is your side, there is the other side, and then there is the truth." There is no guarantee that the edges are anywhere near each other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlon
