Truean, just wow. Glad to hear that you're safe though.

[FearfulJesuit]

 Ἰησοῦς ὁ οἴφων χριστός. I was scared something had happened to you, too, and, well...

Wow. Great to see you again, at least, though perhaps in different circumstances...

[StupidElves]

Truean, from someone that just joined a little under three months ago to someone that appears to be well known and well liked. hello!

Nice to meet you! And that story sounds like it'd be a pain to live through. Interesting though.

[Frumple]

Well... s'good to see you're still kickin' True, even if life's been kicking back pretty hard. Can't really think of anything in particular to say to that apparently rolling clusterfuck you've gone through, but welcome back.

[Neonivek]

That sucks Truean you were one of the people who kind of gave me hope that not everyone was an idiot when it came to lawyers. That people needed to understand that Lawyers are essential for the system and who they chose to defend or prosecute is no indication of how scummy they are.

But that story you told me pretty much tells me that... Yes people are STILL morons when it comes to lawyers and several of them are in a position where they should be issuing justice.

You were one of the last people this should have happened to, people should be throwing you parties... not treating you like this in a juvenile us against them attitude.

[Fniff]

Ouh, Truean, that sounds real rough. I couldn't possibly describe how bad that situation sounds, so I'll go with the understatement in the hope that'll get the point across.

Good luck. It sounds like you need it.

IG: That's the kind of silly thing that can happen with random setups that aren't quite balanced fully. Not that random setups are bad, though - I've seen some really fun ones.

[Greiger]

Welcome back True!  Don't worry if you don't remember me, I'm mostly a lurker, but I noticed your disappearance.

Wait so mafia is an actual game?  I thought it was just a forum based thing.

Vector [hugs vector] Awww thank you hon, I missed you a whole big bunch. We will have to talk soon to say the least.

Owlga, it's cool. I'm very aware of e discovery. Look at the post again.... Not quoted; not there. Honestly, this should be everybody's policy of controlling your own content. Quoting doesn't help anybody under most circumstances like this. I do very much appreciate your concern though, truly. Spiders (google scanbots) are a pain.

Editing away is our last bastion of free thought and expression, and if anybody thinks that I'm wrong:  http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/02/us/facebook-post-costs-father/index.html

I've seen clients get convicted criminally on an internet post that they scream and bitch is "private." [sigh]

Neonivek Agreed, and thank you. Ideally, I would still like to introduce my patented process for providing legal representation. Unfortunately there are legal and "ethical" (rules governing lawyers), as well as practical and regulatory hurdles. Law should never be considered a business, because in business the customer is always right. In law, the customer is often wrong, which is why they keep getting arrested, etc. Like any crop, justice requires the right soil to grow and be tended by those supported by doing so. My system would largely fix that, but I would need additional insurance license certificates (as it could be considered "risk pooling") as well as a change in the rules of professional conduct to allow it as an approved method of reasonable fees under rule 1.5.

People are often morons, in general, and lawyers are no exception to this. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

This is relevant at all, because attorneys need to be supported financially in a way that doesn't invite corruption and abuse of power and rewards instead of punishes those who report it.

Imperfect world; we do the best we can.

Et al Thank you for the welcome back. I do appreciate it. I was alone for quite some time and in a sense I still am. It's good to have people around.
Thank you and I look forward to being here again.

truean is alive

* LordSlowpoke shoots confetti all over the thread

i have nothing better to say beyond i'm not cleaning that up

[hops]

I was still lurking when you were around, but welcome back Truean!

[Arx]

I was still lurking when you were around, but welcome back Truean!

This, pretty much. I don't know what you're going through, but good luck all the same.

[Bauglir]

I missed the story, but I'm glad to have you back and glad that (judging from context) things are getting better from what sounds like a holy fuck-awful situation. If I've correctly assessed that, I hope they keep doing that.

[SealyStar]

I don't know anything about Truean, except that he is evidently a lawyer who hates the legal system but wants it fixed, and got himself into some kind of trouble for it?

How accurate was that?
