The last resort of charlatans -- Legal thuggery

Orac says what needs to be said a thousand times

If I’ve pointed it out once, I’ve pointed it out a thousand times. Quacks do not like to be criticized. When they are criticized, particularly on the basis of evidence and science, their first reaction is not to try to refute that criticism with evidence of their own. Rather, it is to attack and smear the person criticizing them. If that fails to silence critics, then the next step on their part is frequently to sue. They are bullies who rely on their superior resources to intimidate and silence. That is why Kevin Charleston is to be commended and supported in his fight against Solal Technologies

The Pundit: Sadly, the anti-GM crowd are repeatedly resorting to legal bullying in Australia and elsewhere.
