Don't remind me of the futility of changing opinions on the Internet >.>Well, like, I guess 'thing' in this case needs to be non-fictional. You can't sue Santa Claus, because there's nothing to sue--he doesn't exist.

There are (very rare) situations that call for looking at situations from beyond the scope of the rules - perhaps its a situation that isn't covered, or it's extreme circumstances.
