Patent trolls Lumen View: "Calling us patent trolls is a hate crime, now you owe us even more money"

Shouldn’t statements like that be grounds for being dis- barred? After all any lawyers who makes such a claim clearly has insufficient knowledge of the law to practise it. Calling someone engaged in troll- like behaviour is no more a hate crime than calling someone fixing your pipes a plumber. Now, kicking someone in the head because they’re a patent troll could be argued to be a hate crime, if being a patent troll were a genetic predisposition or a religion.
