it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to have paid those b*****s anything.
If I may say so, that 'bitter taste' is your conscience telling you that you did something that was in principle ***not*** right.
However, thank you for being an example in order to warn us of how one can fail under pressure, so we ***can*** understand why you gave up the battle and let those bullies triumph as they do with most weak people.
