MamaLiberty and Elias,
Now I know calling someone a “lawyer" is certainly derogatory and an epithet and is about as vile a name as you can call someone, well except for “bootlicker”, UNLESS of course they are a lawyer (and by extension a bootlicker), which I don’t believe was ever denied.
I do believe in maintaining decorum here on TMM as you know but because the possible epithet’s were on the OK thread and because it was not proven that they were indeed untrue and whereas it was in defense of another TMM and OK member, is it possible to appeal such a decision or at least ask for a reduction in the sentence?
If so, I hereby and forthwith enter such an appeal. We are all sinners.

P.S. I live in Missouri where the second worst epithet you can call someone is a scoundrel and (I hesitate to even say it) the WORST is a scalawag. I heard no such vile utterances and also heard no real cuss words. Allowing the two combatants to duel, on that thread, concerning their perceived matter of honor, might be the best, libertarian method to help them reach a satisfactory conclusion or at least, expend their ammo. Regardless, withdrawing only ONE of the combatants I perceive as unsatisfactory.
Of course, this decision is not mine, thank the heavens and I will truly respect any decision you’all make
