[in a discussion of threatened legal action for stating an opinion]
  The term "vexatious litigation" comes to mind...  somehow these

  I can't comment on U.S. law, but I do recollect a person backing out of
such an action with amazing aclarity when one of his colleagues mentioned
the law society...
