Umm...did you miss the part where I whole-heartedly agreed with this?

We agree. That's what most Illinois fans were doing with Gordon at that game.

We agree again. That's what a few idiots were doing, not the vast majority of the fans.

Cool, we still agree.

Define, "mistreated". Oral contracts are, in general, just as binding as written contracts. They are, of course, harder to enforce because they are harder to prove. But, if I hold a press conference saying I'll sign the contract to buy the house, you can probably be sure I'll be "mistreated" by the sellers' attorney.
