Step 1: Read her latest thread, preferably all the way through. You can find it at Arrogant Attorney Asshats - The BBQ Pit - Straight Dope Message Board
Step 2: Decide if you think Stoid is a bunny boiler. If you don’t know what a bunny boiler is, have a look at http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bunny+boiler
Step 3: Post here!
No, Stoid is merely a rather typical jackass, why do you ask?:dubious:
Slog through a **350+ post **thread to find out what you’re talking about? Not even bothering to provide the thread title?
Sending people to Let Me Google That For You in the OP?
Shouldn’t Step 3: throw bunny pellets at Angry Lurker for a shitty OP?
Dear Rhythmdvl,
I’m an ideas guy. Not a polemicist.
Yours sincerely,
Angry Lurker
I agree with you. Let Me Google That For You isn’t that clever to begin with, certainly not clever enough to start the thread with it. After that, I couldn’t be bothered with the rest.
TLDR
Sorry, I’ve got things to do today.
If you can’t be bothered to put a minimal effort into your OP, such as explaining terms that readers may be unfamiliar with, I’ll be damned if I’m going to put much effort into a reply.
Done.
Worst execution of a pit thread that I’ve seen in a while.
Possibly ever, discounting the utterly insane. It offers no detail and requires TWO links, both of them slow.
As to the OP’s question, I’m not a lawyer and can’t understand the thread in question. I do know that people who claim to know as much about a profession as the professionals are usually deluded, but all the discussion there is over my head.
I got far enough to figure out that we weren’t discussing whether someone made a habit of literally boiling small furry pets, and then lost interest.
Ok, don’t think that Angry Lurker doesn’t listen to constructive criticism ladies and gents!
Brief summary: Stoid is litigating a case. Obsessively. Like a nutter. She’s already lost the first stage and is running the appeal herself. And entirely ignoring lawyers, except when she does get advice: and when she does get advice she hates it and pits them.
The TLDR nature of the above thread is part of its appeal, actually. It goes on, and on, and on… I find such threads both soothing and amusing in equal measure, which is why I am mostly a lurker. I strongly recommend reading it if you do have the time 
Ah, but the opposing party is her ex boyfriend.
So: Nutter versus Boyfriend.
Bunny boiler, yep.
[unabashed hijack]I thought Michael Douglas was a smarmy dickwad in that flick. It wasn’t fair to the little kid that her bunny got boiled, but Close’s character hit the nail on the head with, “I won’t be ignored.”
Moral: don’t boil his baby’s bunny, boil his balls![/uh]
Telling her she’s coming across as somewhat obsessive and off balance in the original thread is one thing , starting a whole new thread to pile on to what is in many ways a pretty sad and desperate situation for her is playground bullying and piling on.
I think the whole point has been missed in that thread. The lawyer’s refusal to talk to her has nothing whatsoever to do with the distinction between advice and information. It has everything to with attorneys choosing not to engage with lunatics because it isn’t good for business. All of those pages and I am not even sure whether she is offering to pay for this advice that is not forthcoming or if she is wandering around attorneys’ offices looking for free ‘information’.

Although I’m sure you mean rabbit food it reminds me of a joke I liked when I was 10.
A kid is going around the schoolyard with a bag offering other kids “intelligence pills”, as soon as you take them you become smarter.
One kid buys some, chews them up and swallows them and then says, “Hey these aren’t tablets, they’re just rabbit shit.”
And the vendor says, “See, smarter already.”
I disagree. The entire point of starting this thread was to avoid hijacking the other one.
Also rofl @ don’t ask
So why is she taking her boyfriend to court? I’ve seen these threads but I haven’t read any of them through. Can you just give us some good snippets?
Very briefly, it’s about splitting up their former home (where they had a business together) and in case it’s terribly boring and unremarkable.
That’s not the issue though - it is necessary to read these tldr threads before you realise that the reality is she’s still in love with her ex, or at least obsessed with him. And acting crazily because of it. No quotes I can give you will convince you of this, so just take a few hours off, get a cup of tea (or, I suppose, in the US, coffee) and read the threads having in mind that interpretation. And it will all make sense then
Douchbag style OP.
Heh… given that I have to go clean our rabbit’s cage today, I’m pretty sure I meant the dark matter pellets.
And I will never think Angry Lurker won’t listen to constructive criticism!
