You are the one who considers this all a laugh, or at least opines with some air of authority that others do.

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.
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.

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.
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 seriously used to think of Mormons as being stiff, straight-laced, polite folk who just had a couple of wacky religious beliefs. I seriously used to think that ex-mo's were pretty much the same minus the wacky beliefs.
Then I came here and saw so much drama it was truly LULZ inspiring. I have seen it and bricks were shat...

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 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.

You see, he's hoping someone will actually squirm because he didn't say anything like that.

Yeah, finding out that the people who demanded that you dedicate your life to horsepucky were actually lying for what they considered to be your own good and was actually for their benefit has that effect on some people.
