Reporting Crockett to the Bar

[_skippy the dead]

I can't see how rcrocket's actions relate to his status as an attorney. He may have inadvertently planted this idea in his comments to me, but it wasn't warranted then, and I don't think it's warranted now.

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.

Hear, hear. I think you're spot on here, Mok. And, I think you're being intentionally naïve. Nevertheless, I hereby sign my name to your vision.

No one here knew, Bob -- just you and DCP. No names were used. GoodK's father and sister knew nothing about it until either you, DCP, or both, gleefully snitched.

That was my experience, as well. I neither knew nor cared to know even such limited private details as I now do.

It was an anonymous post at the point it was made, and might have remained so. Now, it has become what strikes me as a peculiarly Mormon affair--"tattlemails" (© Juliann) full of "concern."

The idea of one poster on a message board reporting another poster to the bar for being mean and nasty on an Internet forum is, to say the least, quite amusing. Bob, look at the bright side. Your name may be used to coin a new slang phrase to refer to this kind of behavior - something like "I was crocketted" or "Don't crocket me!" or "if you don't knock it off, I'm going to crocket you."

I think most readers of rcrocket's posts on relevant matters, likewise DCP's, have not found them chuckle material. Interesting, perhaps, as specimens of a particular kind of moral pathology involving extreme self-righteousness and a lack of a sense of appropriate boundaries, apparently induced by being an alpha male in LDS-dom. But still mostly, to say the least, quite distasteful.

I hope rcrocket's colleagues on the California Bar will derive both information and perhaps even some mild amusement from finding out the way their buddy with the strange religion relates to families he knows, and with whom he apparently claims some degree of professional relationship. I doubt he will be disbarred, but some funny looks may be coming his way. But I suppose he is used to that.

As for your neologism - not likely to be coined, or needed I think, when we have the good old standby of saying the guy is just a crock.

Crap, I had forgotten about the tattlemails. That's exactly what this was. The "concern" is palpable. LOL

This whole episode has just been crazy. I'm glad I'm not anywhere in this thing, it just saddens me.

I agree.

[_rcrocket]

This is just too precious.

I can't imagine anybody at the California Bar would remotely give a rat's ass. This will be of no interest at all.

Come on skippy. You're killing the fun. I WANT him to post a copy of his bar complaint so it will go onto my website -- my martyr for the faith subcategory.

I'll put that up along with Donald Sterling cursing me in public when I got my jury verdict (defense and cross-complaint) against him, and another unsuccessful plaintiff kicking me and asking me if I were a God yet as he walked out empty-handed out of courtroom after one of my trials. The stuff of war stories -- this is another one. Somebody actually trying to hurt my income-earning capacity for some dispute in a religious forum. What could be finer to add to my little shop of horrors?
