You know he's talking shit about the lawyer non-sense. That's just how you weasel your way out of being an asshole about something. You make damn sure afterward you call the other guy a bigger asshole than you are. You tell the other guy you're going to sue for more than he's gonna sue. The idea being to make so much noise, nobody else can tell what's really going on. Seems like you realize this'll blow over anyhow.
