Oh - is that the proper protocol for being snubbed by the U Mich Homosexual Orgies?

I'll keep that in mind.

I'm increasingly glad I didn't vote for Armstrong for Michican Student Body president. No excusing bad manners.

Any University really. But not a community college. That's a totally different protocol.

And I should know. I've been snubbed by all the best gay orgies.

Pretty sure everybody sitting for a state bar has to go through a "character and fitness" check before being certified to take the bar. Despite the name, its not much more than a background check - i.e. any arrests, DUI's, incidents of scholastic dishonesty, etc. Fortunately, it doesn't require soul schmears or there would be far fewer attorneys out there.

Ava Maria may be a little more "in-depth" than most.

Just saw an update to this story and thought it might be fun to share:

Asshole Andrew Shirvell has been ordered to pay $4.5 million to the gay student he attacked as a Michigan assistant attorney general (he's since been fired).

One more for the good guys!

I find it interesting that the AP story you linked only calls Shirvell's blog an "anti-gay blog."

The blog was called Chris Armstrong Watch! What would he have had to call his blog in order for them to recognize it targeted one guy?

Mr Shrivell certainly puts garden-variety stalker-with-a-crush cases into perspective....

I suspect he'll be out of the closet eventually, just as soon as he can chew through the straps...

Armstrong sued Shirvell.

Armstrong was willing to settle for an apology and a retraction. Shirvell, who represented himself, declined and held his ground that his blog was a freedom of speech issue. The jury awarded Armstrong 4.5 million. Shirvelle says he's unemployed and there's no way he can pay that amount.

Wasn't Shirvell a lawyer?

A crappy one, apparently.

Link.

Fixed up your link for you, Ca3799.

So, Shirvell has made a very poorly considered legal move that's ended up ruining him?

Now there's two things he has in common with Oscar Wilde.

The other being a confidence in his own genius?

That's because they question your gay credentials. Hey don't blame me, I'm not even gay and I heard about your "homosexuality-lite" issue. So it's your own fault really.
