You say you were trying to be helpful in posting what you did. I am sure it was helpful, especially to those who have been going over the details of when Ricci went to jail initially, exactly what he went there on, initially and later, etc.

You now criticize me for "interjecting" another poster into a post to you. Gee, I can't imagine why I would associate you with some other posters--oh, wait, maybe it's b/c I see you giving one another high fives and back pats when one of you "trumps", corrects, or ridicules someone who is not in your clique.

You say what the procedure is in State A or State B doesn't matter. I would venture to say that what happens in those states, neither of which is Utah, is exactly as relevant to the discussion as is what happens in your brother's State X, which is also not Utah.

I offer it as my opinion that you take pleasure in "getting" people, perhaps in occasionally offering something that you think will intimidate them. One thing which led me to think this was the way you very clearly implied that Sandude's using the term "Smart-haters" was some sort of "libel." That is ludicrous, of course, but it gives me an idea that you do want to intimidate people by trying to make them think they are doing something wrong, something that will get them in some sort of trouble.

It is my opinion that you are now working up to some sort of claim that I, or someone on here, is giving legal advice in states in which they are not licensed to do so. Sorry, Neen, it won't fly. All the comments on this board are general comments about the Smart case. No one on this board has asked for individual legal advice pertaining to them. No one would be silly enough to seek such a thing on a discussion forum, anyway. Nor would any individual legal advice be given.

And you might consider that one doesn't have to be a lawyer to give legal advice in a state where they are not licensed. (BTW, what state are we in when we're on here, anyway?) I know what state I'm in physically... I've seen a lot of talk about legalities in the Smart case, and many posters have engaged in it. This is called free speech.

I know who on here claims to be in or from Utah. I suspect you do too. I also strongly suspect that everyone who reads these threads knows, too.

Stand by your post all you want. I found its information of interest. But please do drop your penchant for engaging in verbal intimidation--both subtle, and not-so-subtle--of people, simply b/c they don't hold exactly the same opinions you do.

And try to keep the Constitution in mind, instead of just individual rules and laws. It pertains to all of us in the U.S., and we are simply exercising our rights under it.

ED SMART WILL BE ON ASHLEIGH BANFIELD TONIGHT.

Check your listing.

#934, etc. : Projection is a form of defense in which unwanted feelings are displaced onto another person, where they then appear as a threat from the external world. A common form of projection occurs when an individual, threatened by his own angry feelings, accuses another of harbouring hostile thoughts.

Okay, now I'm confused. I came to this discussion late and I'm sure I've missed something in catching up. Maybe you can clarify it for me. Are you saying you are an attorney? I thought I read a reference to your practicing.

Thanks DA!
