Why do you think that being El Zorro is more important than your next move in business and family?

Are not you planning to be a better investor and guy to have arround? If so, have in mind that what you are fantasazing with is going to put your mind in a mental state of war draining huge ammounts of time and energy that will not be dedicated to more positive projects.

As investor I would raise many flags if I have you in my fund because I don't want to fund any personal war for whatever reason it might be declared

This is true. It is a problem that this is taking up so much unwarranted space in my mind. But that's why I finally wrote about it and am seeking advice.

To play devil's advocate, wouldn't it also be a red flag to have someone in your fund who simply rolls over and gives up when they have been clearly wronged?

You did well in exposing this to other's so you don't get trapped in your own perception. Hats off to that.

You were wronged, no question about that. What I'm trying to show you is that you are not in lack of reasons to engage in such a thing. But in the other hand you have even better reasons not to.

Is not about swallowing it, is about raising you to a higher level were you not only not need to worry about that anymore but you can be even grateful that you learned the lessons that experience had teached you.

There are lots of good things waiting for you ahead if you make the space for them to come. So I'd suggest that life will be better if you don't try to be Batman and you make room for more positive things.

Following your metaphor, the devil will love to play with you in court but he cannot be part of your life if you don't give him permission

I've remembered a technique I've learned somewhere that might be of use to you these days. This is good for when you are under some kind of pressure to make a decision that is not exactly peaceful: when in doubt, don't act.

Don't let your emotional drive your decisions.

If you want to go serious in making a decision about this, I'd risk to say that this is the book your future self would like you to have read now: http://heathbrothers.com/books/decisive/
