Okay, now you’ve done it. You’ve forced me to bring out the Pallas Cats.
Before this continues, you should all know I have Japanese Flying Squirrels and I’m not afraid to use them.
I think we need a rule for Dio, prohibiting him from talking about law. He’s not a lawyer, knows nothing about law, and is almost always wrong when he tries to talk about law. Like that other jackoff that kept passing out bogus medical advice.
After that, it’s the vampire squid. You know I will.
Shit, now the guy didn’t even do anything, this is just a critique of character and stance. Well, there’s plenty of folks here who could do with a bit of that, if you are bored.
No, he did something - he totally derailed a thread where an actual person was asking for actual help. Now it’s worthless.
It’d be nicely symmetric if we also had a law that prevented lawyers from talking about anything except the law. There are far too many of them who act as if a few years of rhetoric and critical analysis qualifies them to talk knowledgeably about say, rocket science.
The problem is with the “padding” part.
Really?
I have to say that in eleven years on the board, I don’t recall one instance of a lawyer trying to pretend expertise in rocket science.
50,000 posts is sad. The fact that he’s proud of it is fucking hilarious.
So many legal questions are fair game for the general population and don’t require much more than personal experience or common sense. We’re not asking him to handle the appeal on a capital case so let him speak.
I was always taught that it takes two to tango. I’ve walked away from many a dance in my short stay here and it seems to work fairly well for me.
Not defending him, but that’s not all that insane when you compare him to, say, ACM.
(17 PPD to ~24 PPD).
Quite. It’s simple length of time.
ETA: Speaking of, holy crap when did I get 11k posts my own self? I used to be a professional lurker.
You’ve inspired me to change my title. Man, that is the best $7.50 I ever accidentally spent. 
I see your pallas cats, and raise you one Nicolas Cage with a bird on his head.
Install irony detection chip. Re-read.
Nah, this is in real life. I’ve met plenty of lawyers who think they’re biochemists, engineers, or computer scientists, when they really aren’t.
Of course, other professionals are guilty of the same shit, but lawyers seem particularly egregious about it.
Sorry, he posted a strong opinion, and 90% of the subsequent posters decided to spend their time arguing with him instead of helping the OP.
Blame them for ruining the thread, none of them had to respond to his opinion, not even once.
It wasnt an opinion, it was A FACT!!!
His post is my cite.
Dr. Phil?
So the fact that he posted 35 times in that thread (out of 187 total posts), five times more than the OP, has nothing to do with anything?
