Lincoln reportedly said “ better to remain silent and have people think you a fool than speak and remove all doubt”. It might be better to flame after you obtain facts, rather than before.

As for my “lack of writing skills” in 35 years of practicing law Ive never had any judge make a similar comment. So I have to give your opinion the weight to which it is entitled.

The internet is a great equalizer, any idiot with a keyboard can play. Even the guys down at the manure plant.

I'm pretty good at sniffing out trolls & disruptors. Sometimes they tend to be never-Trumpers, sometimes people who aren't writing clearly, and so forth. Occasionally, I misfire...most FReepers are pretty good about it once they check my posting history.

I don't care whether people question my intelligence. They're simply wrong.

ROFLMAO! You do realize that there's a reason there are lawyer jokes, don't you?

Your post to which I took exception was

Uh, oh! you dare to critique the faultless and brilliant former grocery store manager mark bradman aka sundance? You are asking for flam8ng from those who live and breathe and hang onto his every word, regardless of how speculative and inaccurate it might be. But I guess your correction to his article will, unlike posting at Conservative Treehouse, still allow you to stay on FR. Over at CTH any dissent, however, intelligent, is cause for immediate banning. Only the Cult of Sundance is allowed at CTH.

Note that you are openly referring to a respected right-of-center site as a Cult; even allowing for the hyperbole inherent in the sarcasm, it might fairly be taken as attempting to discredit the site as a whole.

I hope you don't use that type of imprecision in the court house; unless, of course, such is an implicit admission that the system is indeed just a game, and rigged. (See Will Lawyers Destroy Science? for example....)

The internet is a great equalizer, any idiot with a keyboard can play. Even the guys down at the manure plant.

Which is what I thought you were. I don't know if you are at the plant, or are currently acting as a licensed distributorTM; or if you merely have an individual bone to pick with CTH.

Counsel, a better word choice would be "reputedly".
