Pretty much the fast track to being hit with the holy trifecta of libel(internet), slander(investors/landlord) and harassment(spouse). Do _not_ do this.

Yeah, parts of that advice sound very questionable. Making non-payment more costly for them than payment might be reasonable advice, but slandering them and harassing their family can end up a lot more costly for you.

If you want to play this hard, threatening them with a lawsuit and bankruptcy is probably the most painful thing you can do.
