Is it right to reciprocate when you know that your business partner is ripping you off?

No, wrong is wrong and you can't justify it.. Get a mediator or take him to court, but don't slip down into the mire he is creating.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
