Reporting Crockett to the Bar

[_Jason Bourne]

While I find the idea of Goodk complaining to the CA Bar about this I also find your amusement rather odd as well. Come on Bob. Can't you really see how maybe it might have been best for Goodk, his dad and even for you to have just not brought this up? Goodk seems hurt. His dad was hurt. As mentioned, some things are best left unsaid. Did I find goodks mocking over his dad's faithful gratitude mean? Sure. Even immature. But really what you did was rather mean and hurtful. And the fact that you continue to gloat over this? Well.... I am not sure what to say. I think you need to think about what would Jesus do. Really. What Christ like attributes are you exhibiting in the attitude you are showing here?

I guess you don't buy into the whole "it's cool to be mean to the guy who criticizes your beliefs" thing. Good for you.

You see, Bob does.

That is correct. It really is important to me to try to be decent to people. I fall short often. I have been mean so some here. Droopy, Merc at times in past days, Boaz, Infymus, even Scratch. I always feel rotten when I am nasty/

I hear you loud and clear, Jason, and I am really failing. I have been a jerk far too often around here. I really need to stop. If only I could keep my cool better.

I feel your anger, young Bournewalker... Your hate makes you strong! Give into your anger and come to the Darkside, it is your destiny!

Goodk, there will be a lot of laughing at the bar when they get this complaint. "Hey Joe, check it out. Some guy filed a complaint against some attorney at Latham for [chuckle] 'campaigning against anonymity on an Internet forum' [more chuckling] and [laughing] calling the guy a 'coward' on the forum [lots of laughter]." "Look it gets even better [laughing hard]. The dastardly attorney at Latham almost outed this guy's real identity [laughing really hard], not that he actually outed it, but he ALMOST outed it. The Latham guy also made false, hurtful accusations [laughing so hard they are rolling on the floor] as if that never happens on Internet forums."

Man, I would love to have a bar complaint like this on a plaque on my wall. It would be a great conversation piece.

Well go ahead and defend this low life and all his ilk. The same ilk that said he could discredit any expert witness for posting the same kind of garbage that he has here. I am sure that the bar is full the same types of hypocrites as Bob and yourself.

No wonder dog catchers are more respected than attorneys.

You might, just might, be confusing reporting someone to the bar with the legal repercussions of bantering as you do about Mormonism.

In the first instance, a lawyer is protected by the legal profession policing itself. In the second instance, posters are protected by freedom of speech, right?

I have not read Bob's comments about the legal repercussions of what goes on here, nor do I have any opinion of the same. My legal expertise is far removed from such things. Also, the bar is actually supposed to protect the public, but I don't think its mandate extends to these circumstances.

Perhaps you might want to actually do that before you align yourself mistakenly. Or not. You appear to be, after all, an attorney.

Goodk's bar complaint is completely ludicrous. That being said, the circumstances of Goodk's dispute with Bob, DCP and, especially, his father is truly sad.

I think Bob is completely ludicrous. I don't know if the complaint would fly or not but who represents a member of the public and who is the "cognizant" professional here, who should be held to a higher standard? That being said, the circumstances of Goodk's dispute with Bob, DCP and, especially, his father is truly sad, not only sad but pathetic. Pathetic that neither Bob or Dan can see the hurt they have caused and simply acknowledge it and apologize. Neither are "Bishop" material.

I think it is more than this... it seems to me there is actually enjoyment in the hurt. I find it really strange.

I also don't get this whole "Everybody thinks I am a bad guy so I must be cool" or whatever.

DCP, Bob, William and others seem to think (as evidenced by their comments and even sigs in some cases), that if people find their behavior objectionable, they must be a really fabulous person, or something. I don't understand it. Maybe someone could explain this to me.

If anything it seems to me representatives of Christ's church would want to, at the very least give the impression they are decent and caring people. (Of course I would think they would actually WANT to be, and TRY to be decent human beings but even if they weren't I would think they would be concerned enough to give the impression). I guess not?

I hope that a review committee would take complaints seriously whether the complaints are vitally significant or not, and I hope that the committee does care if fellow lawyers are honest and decent people. Maybe they don't, it sounds like they don't care.

:-(

Will the complaint be on record somewhere?

It seems that if somebody discusses their private lives here on the board (as you sometimes do, as does Harmony and others), isn't that fair game for comment?

Only for friendly and supportive banter. The process of attacking one another with items they have shared is really wrong. For instance, if Loran shared something about a problem with alcohol, the only comments that should ever be made is to congratulate his sobriety and encourage his resolve if he has a relapse. If GoodK where to share about a strain between he and father and his sister having an illness, then the only proper response would be to wish his sister well (and offer prayers for those of us who are religious) and to wish him a reconciliation with his father sometime in the future.

You are a very decent person.

I agree with Moksha as well. The jibes, attacks, harangues, etc. are all part of internet discussion board fun. There is a line, and it has been crossed in this case by some.

What I find incredible is the number of people who take internet discussion board stuff seriously. I mean, this is akin to a pickup b-ball game--we do it for sport, diversion, fun, companionship, competition, etc., but once you leave the gym, it's on with your life. Anybody who carries the pickup game over to his life is a fool, just like anyone who carries the discussion board over into their life.
