> [@Delicious](#): > > Hey look at this, I can read you wishing death on animals I like and…let me check…no, my panties are not bunched at all and I feel no need to try to get you banned…weird. We, as posters, are powerless to get anyone banned. There’s not a thing we can do. In fact, as \*you \*well know, people get banned because _t h e y_ can’t follow the rules. It’s like they ban themselves. You could be a pretty good troll if you weren’t so _obvious_ about it or so _obnoxious_. Next time, focus on a personal problem, like debating letting the MD remove one of your nuts. Pros and cons of living with one nut. That kind of stuff would work great. Drop the obnoxious part though. Hope this helps. ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > We, as posters, are powerless to get anyone banned. Oh, I’ve seen a few dopers get banned because they just couldn’t resist a nice piece of schmuck-bait that another poster left there to tempt them. You just have to be smarter than the troll, which does kinda put you out of the running. ---

Nope, I actually assume that no one gives a single fuck what I think, and I’m usually right. I just don’t let that stop me from sharing what I think, because that’s how I roll. ---

Just curious, in this thread, are you admitting that you actually murdered someone? > [@Plea Bargaining Usurping the Role of the People in Criminal Justice](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/plea-bargaining-usurping-the-role-of-the-people-in-criminal-justice/813230/126): > > My experience agrees. > > In my criminal conviction, the crown had an extremely weak case. No physical evidence, no witnesses. All they had on me was the fact that my victim had plead out to assaulting me six months earlier,a witness who could state that I planned on returning the favor, and obviously I had no alibi. My lawyer gave me 70-30 odds that we would win at trial, but pointed out that if my victim died before the trial, I would be facing murder charges and possibly life in prison instead, so a deal was probably wise. (My lawyer was right, he died about two weeks after I was sentenced.) > > My deal was for two years plus a day (the minimum) for Aggravated Assault. The max sentence was 14 years, and the lawyer believed that the most likely result was 6-8 years. So from one point of view, I got a 85.7% reduction in my sentence, assuming that I was sentenced to the max. However, more realistically it was a 66%-75% reduction in my sentence. My lawyer informed me that this was an unusually good deal, one of the best he had seen in a long career. ---
