Why is "pissing Brandt" off considered to be a "good effect"? A step towards escalating a conflict is never a step in the right direction.
OK, I was overly flippant... we should never purposely try to piss anybody off, as enjoyable as it might be and as much as we may feel the person deserves it. On the other hand, trying to de-escalate the conflict by giving in to some of his demands seems pointless given that he says he just might sue anyway no matter what we do.
