That may be true in a court of law. This is not a court of law. Insistence on treating it like one is a great example of why people hate lawyers.

They will definitely have lost customers other than just myself, and that has nothing to do with law. That has to do with principle. They handled this badly, and they'll pay for it, however small the impact.
