He was out in the open about it. WotC didn't need to "hunt it down," especially with a group that invokes images of "leg-breaking goon." Even if the Pinkerton Agents were the nicest, most polite people (actually polite, not "leg-breaking polite") in the world about it, hiring them was a dumb move on their part. At best, it makes WotC look petty, vindictive, greedy, and prone to overreaction.</blockquote>
