I see violent responses here (and to patent troll stories in general); I wonder how many small businesses and their hard working founders have been destroyed by patent trolls. If there are even a few per year, I find it interesting that not more actual violence is directed against the lawyers (I do find it truly evil, not just 'a job') / troll owners. I don't know how it is for someone to destroy my company, but if I had worked my ass off for many years building something up, I can only imagine!

It's a shame patent trolls cannot be prosecuted as organized crime.
