So you are suing ... the people that partially own your company? Only in America can you sue someone without any good reason and still win by default because you have more cash on hand. Cash the defendant partially provided no less.

Fuckers
So they weren't even trying to silence them on a public forum. They didn't want a resolution to "work harder" to appear on the agenda. Then after the defendants agreed to withdraw and not pursue the resolution again, Exxon still sued them to send a message to other shareholders that they must keep their mouths shut and not try to exercise any of their rights as a shareholder. That is pretty chilling behavior, even from Exxon.
Can we guillotine these bitches yet?
