Seems you are the one with the straw man, since he didn't say anyone forced them to do something.
"we viewed as our only course of action"
That sentence does not mean that anyone forced them to do anything.

there may be dilution at stake if they don't defend their trademark I don't buy it. Give me an example of a company that lost trademark protection because they merely allowed another company with a similar name to exist and I'll eat my hat.
Get your hat ready, there is one example: the german newspaper TAZ "die tageszeitung" used it's paw logo since 1979 but never trademarked it. It is after all a libertarian newspaper. The outdoor clothes company Jack Wolfskin secured it's look alike logo in 1982 and successfukky forbade the TAZ to use it's logo on merchandising.
That isn't the same thing at all. I was talking about similar names and existing trademarks, neither of which apply.
