Reporting Crockett to the Bar

[_Mad Viking]

I find it a small price to pay for sticking up for my friends and my faith on this board. I use my own name and put up with repeated anonymous attacks challenging my integrity. Really fascinating, actually. I don't lose my cool, but I can see what so few faithful Saints are willing to come here to be traduced anonymously.

But, it will be great to see the bar complaint come over the transom; I'll get to take some discovery against GoodK and I'll post the results here!! I will post the progress of the complaint on my blog for all to see. It will be fun.

In your estimation, what would have been the result of GoodK's father never becoming aware of GoodK's posts?

In your estimation, what would have been the best result of GoodK's father being informed of his son's posts by you?

In your estimation, what would ahve been the worst result of GoodK's father being infromed about his son's posts by you?

I have provided legal advice to your dad.

You said he was your "client." Don't worry about your pants being on fire. Ask Marriot, you should be alright.

Hey, I find it amusing and funny -- proceed as you see fit.

I'm glad you find it amusing and funny to repeatedly make statements about my little sister, whom you have never met, and how I feel about her. I actually am amused by the thought of you stopping such ugly behavior.

Just don't post mean stuff about your dad and expect me to be silent about it.

Just don't push my buttons and expect me not to push you back.

Saying that my dad's religious beliefs (and yours) are so utterly stupid is not mean stuff. Sorry you two believe in fairy tales and can't handle my criticism.

This is wrong. Nobody should be reporting on one another. This isn't the time of Chairman Mao. The fault with anyone being hurt can be traced to a lack of anonymity. Don't listen to Bob when he tries to induce you to reveal yourself. It only leads to hurt and the seeking of vengeance.

I don't think Bob's quest for non-anonymity is criminal, just wrong-headed and definitely dangerous.

For what it's worth, I agree with moksha. I hope you don't do it.

Bob is a version of a troll. This will actually feed him. Moreover, he's pretty impervious to reason of any kind, at least on this board. If you're trying to teach him to not intrude on peoples' personal lives, it's not going to work. At least on this board, he behaves in a fairly narcissistic manner and believes in his own rightness, even when it's clearly been demonstrated that he's wrong - and this isn't just with personal issues, but even academic claims he makes.

Why wouldn't I? I find it especially appropriate considering one - he habitually calls people cowards for posting anonymously, two - conspired with DCP to "out" me, three -has rattled on about the legality of attacking religion, four - continues to make comments which I find extremely offensive.

I have a feeling he will be humbled by having some posts read by his peers.

I want him to stop doing what I have already asked him to stop doing. It fits within the definition of harassment.

At least on this board, he behaves in a fairly narcissistic manner and believes in his own rightness, even when it's clearly been demonstrated that he's wrong - and this isn't just with personal issues, but even academic claims he makes.

I am very eager to make his peers aware of this. I am, after all, a resident of this fine state. I feel a duty to report such obscenity.

I
GoodK has some challenges in life and I only wish him the best in the end.

Ah... subtly implying I am a sinner. Spoken like a true Mormon apologist.

Maybe a Christian apologist. We are all sinners. Your challenges are self-apparent from your posts. I imply nothing else. Even though I have lots of information about your private life (you've been in my house, after all, and have spent a couple of hours with me personally) I would never think to discuss the details here -- despite the fact that you have made disparaging remarks about my private life and position, my purported (and falsely so) wealth (exposing me to repeated mockery from several here), have published my phone numbers, and have referred to one of my children by name several times.

But, when you exposed a little piece of your private life on this board by embarrassing your seriously-ill sister and your parents, well, I'm going to be a good friend to your dad. (In the end, however, I never did connect with him about your email and I quit trying (recall, he was seriously distracted) when it became apparent that he learned about it from another source.)

Saying that my dad's religious beliefs (and yours) are so utterly stupid is not mean stuff. Sorry you two believe in fairy tales and can't handle my criticism.

I can handle anything. That wasn't the source of the embarrassment to your family. You have the right to disagree with my religious beliefs. Mocking your father, calling him a blowhard, in the context of a battle for your sister's life, was shameful and terrible. A humiliating thing for both of them -- exposing the private health struggles of your sister for all to see.

You said he was your "client." Don't worry about your pants being on fire. Ask Marriot, you should be alright.

Providing somebody legal advice when he asks for it and gets it makes him a client. Payment doesn't have to seal the deal. I am not at liberty to discuss the circumstances. "Alright?"

I don't think you have any basis for filing a formal complaint. What has this got to do with the practice of law by Bob?

I'm kind of curious as to when you think I have ever intruded on anybody's personal life? In GoodK's case, he made public a very private email. I never even made connection with his father on the subject because his father was 24/7 in a hospital at the time and then I gave up.

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? When have I ever transcended the four corners of any post and gone after a private life.

(You may recall that you, for instance, posted a lot of stuff about my family, about my sexuality and my wife's -- stuff I have never made available anywhere on this board to anybody.) You're just grossly hypocritical and it was vicious and obscene. But, that's ok. I wear it as a badge of honor. I don't mind.

But, really, when he posts private material (an email) and commentary deriding a close personal friend of mine (and, I might add for the first time here, a client where I have a duty to communicate with him negative and damaging material) and his daughter in a most sensitive area -- and where so many other people would likely pick up on it -- I feel it a duty to help and warn his dad. As well, to stick up for his dad and the daughter

.

I fail to see how Goodk's father being your client had anything to do this. What professional obligation did telling him about this have to do with anything? Personally I think it would have been better for you to keep your mouth shut. Some things are better left unsaid. It has ended up more hurtful than it was before. But everyone has blown this waaaaaaay out of proportion.

Oh well.

In the end, as I note, I never did make contact with him on this subject.
