Section 517.031.2, RSMo 1986, in effect when the rent and possession suit was filed (since amended, see RSMo Supp.1990) allowed counterclaims and provided that they shall be in writing, but did not require counterclaims. That section “does not speak to the compulsoriness of filing coun*103terclaims; it only speaks to the manner of filing counterclaims.” Wilson & Thompson, Continuing on the Yellow Brick Road, 42 J.Mo.B. 21, 27 (1986).
