   When do you stop paying to be left alone, to not have others

When do we stop threatening essentially harmless actions with endless
litigation?

   On this same basis, Daniel, I suggust that it would be OK for me to
   punch you in the nose every day, till you decide to pay me to stop.
   And carrying matters one step further, others shouldn't interfere
   or subsidize protections on your behalf, cause they don't care that
   you're being punched in the nose.

I fail to see how receiving a few extra pieces of junk mail per day is
even remotely similar to receiving a daily bodily injury.  Care to
elaborate how junk mail = broken nose, or even how creditors catching
up with you = broken nose?
