This will become the new way of shutting people up, because nobody wants to be sued and few people have the financial resources to fight back.

There's a pretty good book about this trend in law firms: "Servants of the Damned" by David Enrich.

If anyone has seen the movie "Michael Clayton", that film gives a taste of how ruthless, vicious and immoral these firms are.
