     It amused me… But as you’re probably aware I am easily amused.

   Well there ya go – the reason IF is so good. Cynicism is great – indeed needed! – just as long as one can be just as cynical about oneself as they are others.
   …. of course, that’s something that evil bitch Paganini is incapable of :p. And as for her husband …. Geeez!
   ….. Oh plus she drives that fuckin awful status symbol on a bloody fishing licence!

   The sabre has been sharpened, the blunderbuss has fresh powder and ball, the battlements are manned, and the archers quivers are brim-full of arrows ready to fly straight to those causing disarray.
   The computer’s been purged of any miscreants that could cause it to crash, to get a virus, or to download some obnoxious email purporting to be friendly when we all know it’s some solicitous deviant just wanting to wind us up.
   As for the article, I simply doff my hat to your magnificence. Let the games begin.

   Wasn’t every person on board the Titanic united to a common purpose regardless of colour or creed? They ignored the trashy others who were on board didn’t they?
   But look what happened to them. Nearly all sank without trace into the chilly waters of obscurity.
   So. Be careful who you board with!

   I also won’t be making any attacks on the pond slime over at The Standard…

   Doesn’t this violate “policy”?

   Attacking the blog site, or attributing a mind to a machine (ie talking about The Standard as if it had an opinion), or trying to imply that the computer that runs the site has some kind of mind control over authors and commentators is not allowed.

   Or maybe he was just referring to Mickey Savage … .

     Doesn’t this violate “policy”?

     Ummm shouldn’t there be some encouragement of science even amongst the legal eagles?

     Pond scum is a generic term for a variety of organisms – mostly algae. While it is a generic term often used as a pejorative (like the word “lawyers” or “used car salesmen”), it refers to a collection of *individual* organisms.

     The policy you were referring to was quite specific. It refers to treating the dumbarse computer program that runs the site as if it has a brain or an opinion, and optionally that it could influence the humans making comments and posts here. The post made no assertions about the opinions of the pond scum at TS.

     Now for your deficient education, that program has a few orders of magnitude less programming information than any individual organism making up pond-scum has genetic information (or indeed any living organism that we know of apart from a some parasitic RNA based viruses).

     Now I can see how comparing algae with lawyers could work. However I suspect that you, Scott, and Mickey actually could have opinions more advanced than pond scum. But of course discussing the intelligence levels of lawyers becomes a matter of opinion – something our site is dedicated to fostering with some limits.

     So no to your query.

     Of course one of those limits is listed in the self-martyrdom offenses…

     Abusing the sysop or post writers on their own site – including telling us how to run our site or what we should write. This is viewed as self-evident stupidity, and should be added as a category to the Darwin Awards.

     Of course there is that little grey area here because it is a guest post. Should I defend Scott as the author of the post? Or should I defend Micky as an author on the site?

     Of course I could avoid the question and divert on to questioning the intelligence levels of Law profs compared to algae? 😈

       I’d agree with you in two of those cases … .

         Were you aware of the saying Andrew that 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name …

           Remember that “we are the 99%” slogan from a few years back? Or are you a 1%er?

           what do you call 500 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

           a good start.

      Must try it Molly – saw it on special at my local Countdown last week and dittered over whether to buy it or not.

    All these political parties on the left just cause confusion. Let’s all join together and make a party for all where a variety of views and attitudes are accepted …
    Ahh who am I kidding 🙄
