Hold on mouth, I didn’t know you were going to use my name too. What if some FDA is bored at work, and is reading these boards.

Man, I’m in enough trouble remember I got 6 moving violation tickets in one day. I think that is record. ::note to self call Guiness::

So please don’t use my name use Ben, Collounbury or something. 😃

Esprix shoots and scores.

Even though you apologized to Guin later in your post, I have a hard time seeing it as a real apology.

Yeah, I just admitted to using illegal drugs on a public message board. Heaven forfend anyone throws it back in my face.

Well, then he can read the thread where you made the actual claim. I mean, Mouthbreather’s sig comes from an earlier statement you had made on this public message board.

Um. **Bill**. If you are concerned about the legality of something you are taking, may I suggest that you have some one else drive???

Just think of how interesting it would be to have your name in the paper under arrests, should:

a. you get stopped and the cops get a search warrant and find the pills.

b. you have an accident and have blood analyzed.

I know you’ve got your reunion coming up, but surely the ‘stature’ that you’ve attained in the community will be enough to impress all of your high school friends?

Hold the phone. I thought it was **seven** tickets.

Guess he’s so hopped up on speedba… I mean “mexican fat burners”, that he forgot how many tickets it was…

Look for the word “revisions” in my post **WB**. It was my meager attempt at being polite to you. I sincerely doubt that you have had any opportunity to review patrol car videos or photo radar records of your little excursion. Ergo, there is only your memory of the events for you to rely upon.

Your own tale has been modified enough (by you), and in such significant fashion, that your are more than a little suspect of prevarication (look it up). As I said, your credibility is lower than a snake’s belly full of buckshot.

PS: It’s spelled j-e-r-k-w-o-o-d, **jerkwad**!

I never said you said I lied that was directed to Collounsbury not you. But thanks for telling the correct spelling of jerkwad. That could come in handy in the future.  
Second,

Why do you think I would like about any of this? I mean why would I? Do y’all really don’t think I got the tickets or what? Lieing is stupid and I don’t like it.

Oh, how very mature of you, Bill! What an intelligent response.

Um, let’s see, I ask him if he can drive me across campus, since he’s going that way anyways, because we’re both headed to the same class?

Hey Bill-remember when you posted about **your daughters being sexually harassed?** How was your remark any different from what was said to them? What if the guy just said it was a joke?

No, I’m not offended. But I’ll be damned if I’m not going to call you on your hypocrisy and the fact that you can be a sexist pig sometimes. (spell?) And I don’t care if you’re in Pittsburgh or not-there are still people on the roads who YOU put in danger with your actions, Bill. Implying that I’m a slut isn’t going to change that.

_politely thanks her defenders_

WB, though you have _yet_ to answer **one single question I’ve asked** , nonetheless, I persevere:

Over in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=61676) now closed thread, you wrote

> [@](#):
>
> I understand about not getting sympathy when you are wrong how about EMPATHY then? I mean 6 tickets, $750 to a lawyer and trip to pick just for spinning my tires sheesh. The way everybody acts on this board public executions will be coming real soon for J Walking(poor Leno)

I have _plenty_ of empathy for people who do stupid things, realize that they’ve done a stupid thing, suck up their punishment (if any) and resolve not to do it again.

So far:  
[ul]  
[li]You’ve admitted to spinning your tires. One point.[/li][li]You have **not** admitted that spinning tires is fucking **stupid** , since [list][/li][li]A) when you fling gravel up, it _always_ comes down, often on the windshield of the innocent person behind you and[/li][li]B) when you’re spinning your wheels, you are putting yourself into a sort of skid _which is **fucking stupid[/li]**_ to do in traffic![/ul]  
0 points  
[li]You have **not** accepted your punishment like an adult, instead you are trying to weasel out of **all** the tickets, even the ones that are deserved (trying to get the ones that you allege the cops lied about isn’t the issue.)[/li]0 Points. Plus you get -2 points for the hypocrisy of using a ‘scumsucking’ lawyer  
[li]You have yet to resolve not to do it again.[/li]0 points  
[/list]  
I’m also subtracting another two points (-2) for the vile comment you made about Guin (I’m factoring in the hypocrisy of it, given how appropriately upset you were about the equally vile comments made to your daughter). “Taking it back” isn’t enough, since your “apology” once again used your standard, pathetic “but everyone _else_ was doing it” cop-out.

This puts your “deserving of empathy” score at -4 points, which, if I cross reference it with your complete lack of any meaningful response to any question, means that my empathic reaction should be to spit on you. However, in the interest of decency, I refrain.

You _don’t_ have to do any of the above. I have no power or hope of making you change. It’s no skin off my nose one way or the other, and when it comes right down to it, you’ve shown you only care about yourself and your family so the reaction of many posters here is probably no big deal to you. But you asked why you’re not getting any empathy, and I gave you my reasons.

Now how 'bout answering some of my questions in similar detail, hmmmm?

Fenris

Fenris, what question do you WANT ANSWERED. Sheesh do you work for the municiple court of something?

And what is it with the the little grading post from above. A point this a point for that. What the heck? You sound like an insurance salesman adding points for speeding tickets so you can charge people more for their premiums.

I will take a stab in the dark what questions you want answered. I could only see one cop in my mirror but the others were close behind because they pulled up rather quickly.

I am not going to tell you what kink of fat burners I am on because frankly it is none of your business. I will tell you they are not an amphetamine.

Btw are you one of those drivers that go 2 or 3 miles an hour under the speed limit all the time and leave red lights at the pace of a snail?

And one more there was no pedestrians or vehicles behind me so I was spinning gravel at anybody. Got it?

And I never said I disliked criminal attorneys I just don’t like PI attorneys. So that doesn’t make hypocritical now does it.

Guin,

I don’t care what these other jerkwads have said I **meant** my apology.

Bill, what the fuck? Fine, you’re sorry, sure. Yeah, everyone insults everyone in the Pit. Um, notice most of the insults are usually relevant to the argument, _muduk_.  
And the amphetamines are none of our business? Dude, when you have ASKED US ADVICE ABOUT TAKING THEM, hmmm…I don’t know what to say. Has anyone else noticed that about Bill, peeps? He’ll ask advice or want to debate something, but when we try to get more info on it, it’s “none of our business”?

Look, I don’t care if you’re sorry or not-my point is, you complain about guys making nasty comments about your daughters-and you have EVERY right to be upset. HOWEVER, how does it look for you to turn around and do the same thing?

Of course, it’s never your fault, is it?
