It's unreasonable to think you can say whatever you want on the internet without it ever coming back to you.

As you know, nothing could be further from the truth. We are discriminately mean and brutish. (That's a joke for all the very serious delicate teacups who might inadvertantly stumble upon this comment and think, aha! they are evil and I am entitled to be adored by everyone.)

Aside from hijacking Mark's comments for this, this is just utterly embarrassing. Brian, your initial dig at Lee was just gratuitous. Why open up this fight again over nothing? When Lee did it to you, I lambasted him for his pointless attack. This time, it's your fault entirely. You don't have to like each other. This online pretense that CDLs, or private and PDs, should all circle the wagons like we're cops is bullshit. But that doesn't mean you have to take every opportunity to snipe at each other either, especially over such nonsense. Mirriam is right. This just sounds insane. And Lee, do you really think it helps to challenge Brian to duke it out? There are bad things, incompetent and unethical things, done by criminal defense lawyers, and the Happysphere doesn't want us to mention anything about it so no one's feelings are hurt. Save the testosterone for them. You'll have enough to do fending off those who say you're mean when it's worthwhile. Don't squander it on this childish nonsense.
