Your ability to read is about as good as your ability to insult people. Are you capable of looking up the word “audience” by yourself, or would you like me to link you to a definition? ---

I don’t care whether you believe it is a lie. Are you under the mistaken impression that I’m going to give you enough information about me to figure out who I am so that you can do something idiotic like defame me on “yelp”? You are who you are, and I really don’t care what you think of me. You are the sort of person who says: > [@Morgenstern](#): > > Your cluelessness is such that you’d fall into a bucket of tits and come out sucking your thumb. And thinks that it is acceptable? Clever? Witty? Anything less than completely disgusting is off the mark. ---

I don’t care who you are, where you live, or what library you post from. We have attorneys on this board who are respected. They are thoughtful, intelligent, composed, and witty. Given that you lack those four characteristics, I just can’t see you in the same profession they are in. That’s why I accused you of lying. ---

Some people always make it all about them. The irony of somebody like that being mad about somebody else making it all about them, it might break the internets ---
