I agree.


Me too. Some Mormons feed on persecution. This will only add gas to the fire.

Okay, this made me laugh out loud. Makes me miss litigating just a little. And it reminds me of a few choice comments directed my way during my foray into family law - yikes.

I won't suck the fun out anymore. Carry on!

Most anti-Mormons can't recognize sarcasm, either.

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?


I didn't do it so he would be disbarred. I did it because he has been asking for it. I never wanted to, but his comments really have crossed the line on multiple occasions, and he continues to make them despite what I say. He has resorted to hiring the poster no one likes, Droopy, to sing back up.
When he or his chubby back up singer say that I humiliated my sister, or embarrassed her, or hurt her, or whatever - he is crossing the line. That is simply false (she hasn't heard about it, she wouldn't care if she did) and due to the sensitivity of the subject and how close I am to my sisters, it comes across as extremely combative. It is the only aspect of this saga that is upsetting to me.


I have faith that the Bar will do nothing to hurt Mr. Crockett's "income-earning capacity. I just hope that after addressing the complaint with his peers he thinks twice before campaigning against anonymity using words like "coward" and then outing (or attempting to out, pick which version of Bob's story you want) an anonymous poster at an obscenely inappropriate time, and harassing them with false, hurtful accusations.

In my experience, it is not the critics who are humorless.

Umm, Bob, it was only humiliating (if it was) because Prof Peterson ratted him out.

If he would have tended to his own business, it would have ended there.

Dan, not goodk, was the proximate cause of the humiliation. Without his busy body meddling, it would have been no more than a quickly forgotten anonymous discussion board rant.

Please also explain to me the rule that requires us to accept and respect the 'faith of our fathers.'

Does this apply as well to Mormon converts? Just curious.

Posting with Crocket is like wrestling with a pig. All you get is crappy and smelly and after a while you realize that the pig (Crocket) just plain enjoys it.
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

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.

I appreciate the way you just nullified most of Bob's inflated claims for the legal repercussions of bantering as we do about Mormonism. Thanks.

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