> Jesus effing Christ, Bricker. You are aware, aren’t you, that not everybody else in the world is a lawyer, right? And that sometimes, we unenlightened, moronic peons like to have conversations without some arrogant self-important _law school graduate_ (oooooooooo…) scrutinizing our posts so you can gleefully pounce upon an instance of someone saying “does” instead of “should” so you can derail the thread into a semantic train wreck dedicated to your awesome brain power? Do you have any non-lawyer friends? What do they think of your ridiculously annoying habit of doing shit like this? How can you ever get through any kind of discussion with anybody? When you’re with a girl (or boy, whatever waives your flag) and they tell you to take off your clothes do you argue with them for 45 minutes over the precise definition of “remove”? Lighten the fuck up or go find a messageboard for lawyers where they appreciate this kind of bullshit.

I know this will come as a great shock to you, but when the discussion is about what the law is, there’s actually some value in discussing what the law is. I can only imagine your ire at a discussion about atomic fusion being derailed by some scientist who criticizes the participants for saying _molecules_ when atoms are at issue, or a discussion about football halted by the foolish insistence that field goals not be confused with touchdowns.

Moreover, in the post you quote, I was replying to **Kimmy\_Gibbler** , who is on information and belief an actual lawyer, and thus easily able to withstand my scary onslaught of words, ‘n’ stuff, that mean… stuff. About things that are written on paper by the men and women in your [del]legislature[/del]… your law-making place.

Hope that was less frightening to your brain. I can work it down even further, maybe get rid of a few more words that have those scary multiple syllables – you just let me know.
