Is this guy really so much of an idiot that he is willing to directly contact a law firm that is considering litigation against him and not have a lawyer of his own present to do the talking? This is basic fucking civics here. Everyone should know why this is a bad idea. Everyone!
I don't think Beard is going to touch that with a ten foot pole. He's going to tell him to seek the advice of counsel. It's against ethical rules to contact someone directly who is represented (MRPC 4.2). There's another rule for those who are represented (MRPC 4.3). While it isn't outright prohibited, it's kind of a minefield ethically, and to refer back to a lolsuit-related incident, think of how Leonard French had to treat crazy pro se person Alex Mauer with kid gloves, and generally did not respond to his flood of insane voicemail and other attempts to contact him.
Beard, much like a mixed MAA dude being poked at by an epileptic retard in a wheelchair, is obligated not to take advantage of the fact that this guy is unrepresented and, frankly, more than a little stupid.
