their contract is probably drafted nicely. but if they’re so smart, why are they talking like such a bunch of doofuses in the press?
on a much smaller but perhaps related scale, I remember some debt collector/lawyer trying to collect some money off me in a personal contract dispute/lawsuit. He kept saying, over and over, “You made a promise! You made a promise!”. Some old jackass voice, like, have you been doing this crap for 50 years, did this b.s. line work in the 70’s? what was his point?
Finally, I got sick of talking to him, and I unleashed a torrent of profanity, edited here, but the sense was, we both made promises, we disagree on what the purpose of the promises were and how they would be carried out, your continual whining that “I made a Promise is irritating me” and a judge may very well disagree about the nature of our promises.
He became very very very angry, said he was 100% certain I would lose and get stuck with his large attorney fees. 100% certain. I told him (profanity deleted) he was a moron, perhaps even worse than amoron, because he had a brain but declined to use it, and d he might win or he might lose, but it wasn’t 100%, more like 50-50.
he was wrong. The case went to court, briefing, etc., case settled for less than 33 cents on the dollar of what they were originally suing for–because he suddenly understood several years into it that it wasn’t a sure thing for him. Far from it. I was probably being generous. he was probably going to lose.
