Re: This is way too late.

But yeah I don't know why they're bothering now ... There's absolutely nothing that can be done

If someone were going round scrawling some nasty lie about yourself all over the walls of the town you lived in would you say "c'est la vie" and let it continue, or would you take steps to get it removed where you could, even if you could never eradicate it entirely?

And if you don't do anything about it are we to take it that you are in fact happy for that to be put about and persist in the public domain, don't have a problem with that?

At the proverbial end of the day it is an unwinnable game of whack-a-mole but that doesn't mean one shouldn't put up the best fight one can if one chooses to.

If one doesn't do anything it will exist forever. If one does the best one can the damage can potentially be reduced, and the rest may fade away over time. It's try or give-in, and I don't see much wrong with trying.
