 I agree. One merely has to read about the tactics used by the BSA
against Ernie Ball
EXCERPT:
Did you want to settle?
Never, never. That's the difference between the way an employee and an
owner thinks. They attacked my family's name and came into my
community and made us look bad. There was never an instance of me
wanting to give in. I would have loved to have fought it. But when
(the BSA) went to Congress to get their powers, part of what they got
is that I automatically have to pay their legal fees from day one.
That's why nobody's ever challenged them--they can't afford it.
