Erm, surely if you had a go at him for being unprofessional, you can't have been libelling his clients anyway? Wouldn't worry migz, it's probably the lawyers' equivalent of "Out of Office Auto Reply" - whereas the rest of us have "Hi, out for Xmas, back early Jan, any problems in the meantime please contact Nozza in Goods Inward", they have "You will appreciate that your comments are potentially libellous. My clients will consider this and respond accordingly."
As it's the season of goodwill, you can borrow my stock answer to this kind of cock:
"Dear Sir
I have consulted my own legal advisors who are hideously better paid than you are and they have counselled me that you, sir, are in point of fact an ass. Further, that in lieu of adequate recompense for the pain and suffering you have caused me by forcing me to contemplate your odious existence, I should require that, notwithstanding further claims howsoever they may arise and without material prejudice, you go stick your head in a pig at your earliest convenience.
Yours Sincerely etc etc
PS Mex says you're a cunt"
(with thanks to donkey for the head in a pig clause)
There you go, that should sort em out (erm, don't actually send it though, obviously)
I know damn well it wasn't libel - lawyers can't stand it when you have a pop at them (I should know -I become one of the evil bastards in September).
I mentioned a little bit about Diamandis - I pointed out that he has committed criminal offences and that perhaps he could get better legal advice because at the moment he seems to think that he's done nothing wrong. That pissed him off a bit.
