This post was the key:
2. If you are sued, respond to it. You will probably lose in court unless you want to spend plenty of $ on a specialist patent attorney. DON'T spend the money, appear in pro per and demand a jury trial. You will still lose eventually, but acacia cannot sue 10,000 webmasters all over America who actually appear in pro per. It's not cost effective for them. They are betting you will be intimidated to pay. Show them wrong, force them into court and appear in pro per on every little case. It is your constitutional right and it will break their back faster than anything else you can do.
This is absolutely the best advice so far on Acacia, and this what they are terrified of. Its exactly what I plan to do if I get the packet. Use a cheap local attorney for at least some basic counsel, and then try to string out a long jury trial and demonstrate every single prior art and everything else I can find, all the while asking for a stay at every opportunity to gather more evidence.
I think its by far the most reasonable approach.
