whether its true is besides the point, and the fact they are biased (well, doh) is also besides the point. not sure where you get the "pride in his work" point. they certainly didn't say that. as for the zealously defended, yes, they do object to that because (back to the first point) they objected to teh way he defended him. | ||

Mine is people who mix up "O!" and "Oh!," the former of which is for an indication of the vocative and the later of which is a general interjection. As in "O Yoav, that feels so good... Oh... OH!" | ||

I asked you to show me how you reached your interpretation and you refused to. Moreover, interpreting your newly added qualifiers and caveats as an admission of defeat is just the sort of 'logic' that you and GH employed to reach your interpretations in the first place. In all honesty I'd prefer it if you learned something from all this, but if all I managed to do is get you to stop pushing nonsense for a day I'm willing to take what I can get. | ||

The police and the senators took issue with him just volunteering. That's inappropriate. That's as clear cut as it can get. | ||

It was rude to assert my statement as being a concession of defeat when it was clearly not. again, you are being rude, and lying, as I did point to source for my interpretation So I shall try to avoid speaking to you any further. You're the one using poor logic. Don't conflate me and GH. There's nothing to learn from you, so I did not. You're the one pushing nonsense. | ||

About what? You can't just say I'm lying and then not say how it's a lie and expect to be taken seriously?

The police certainly thought otherwise, I think the senators made it clear too, but I can dig up an appropriate quote/explain the one already posted if that hasn't been demonstrated clearly enough already? They may have had other reasons that people want to explain away as legitimate (some of which I might agree with, like the police were too immature to work with him), but it's clear that him merely volunteering to defend his client was objectionable to the police and senators, regardless of how he would of done it. | ||
