OK, maybe that’s true, I would want to have them pay for any loss they created.
But I would not chase them around on the internet and wage constant war on them like a raving lunatic.
Are you EVER going to stop badmouthing Warren as long as he is on “your” turf?
You’d be better off hiking, so then you could just catch up to his mileage and then sleep at night without making yourself look like a play-ground bully (or a tattle-tale, I can’t decide)."
