		<description>If Brian posts something that someone else finds to be unclear and potentially offensive and damaging, that gives him license to make an unwarranted and baseless attack?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I read Brian&#039;s post. I believe I got his point, and frankly think he&#039;s largely correct.  But I also see how the post could be easily misconstrued and leave people to conclude that he&#039;s on the bad side, not the good.  It could have written much clearer.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And by the way, while a scathing commentary, there was nothing about it the required a sense of humor.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So Brian should feel free to clarify any misunderstandings, recognize that clarity was lost on his end, and address it like a human being.  But to come here and attack Mark just marks him as a jerk.  Would you like to write about my &quot;self-inflated ego&quot; too, Brian?  Apparently, only you get a free pass.</description>

		<description>You put something out there that you thought was funny. It wasn&#039;t -- not, at least, to some of the people who don&#039;t know you. Inside jokes can&#039;t really be expected to get a big laugh in the blogosphere. Get over it.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So I didn&#039;t get it. So most people didn&#039;t. Wah wah wah. It&#039;s &lt;i&gt;our&lt;/i&gt; fault? Talk about ego! You&#039;re whining about &lt;i&gt;us&lt;/i&gt; being &quot;attorney&#039;s&quot; with &quot;no sense of humor&quot;? Sheeeeeiiiiiiiitttt. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Humor is communication. You don&#039;t blame the recipient when he doesn&#039;t get the joke. I&#039;ve been funny once or twice; I&#039;ve even made &lt;i&gt;prosecutors&lt;/i&gt; laugh. When my humor falls flat, though, it&#039;s &lt;i&gt;my&lt;/i&gt; fault, not my audience&#039;s. So whose ego&#039;s getting in the way? I&#039;ll give you a hint: look at the spoiled little child complaining that only the servants are laughing at his show! Grow up, little boy. Sometimes other people don&#039;t think you&#039;re as funny as you think you are.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You don&#039;t know me, Brian. I know you (only from your writings, granted) as a self-important silver-platter wanker playing lawyer. So why you gotta come &#039;cross the tracks to poop in this hardworking poor boy&#039;s yard?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And why, for God&#039;s sake, twice?</description>

		<description>It is once again confirmed that attorneys as a group have no sense of humor and certainly not when huge egos get in the way. Not to fret though.... I am sure your &quot;repuation value&quot; is &quot;self-inflated&quot; on a daily basis.....</description>

		<description>It is once again cofirmed that attorney&#039;s in general have no sense of humor, especially when ego gets in the way. I suspect your &quot;reputation value&quot; is &quot;self inflated&quot; on a daily basis......</description>
