I think that what is constructive about it is to shed light on the activities of these people in whatever way we can. Including discussion in this forum.

When I was taken to court for home schooling my son by a fundamentalist Christian, not because it was illegal for me to home school, but because I wasn't a Christian, one of the tools I used to win the court fight was to inform the newspapers about what was going on.

I believe the presence of the reporter in the courtroom, and the potential for this debacle to become known to a lot of people made a difference in the outcome of my case.
