SECOND!

Many people are pointing out that if you read through Vicky Iseman's complaint against the New York Times . . . is pretty interesting.

Many people are pointing out that if you read through Vicky Iseman's complaint against the New York Times (authored by Washington & Lee Law Dean Rodney Smolla) is pretty interesting.

Missing some grammar

Second just won't cut it. Okay, I end my 2008 ATL year on a high note.

- blah blah (1)

FIRST.

And elie, you're a fucking moron. Poor grammar again. Way to do HLS proud. I'd rather be sandwich boy than you.

Atheists' = atheists

For God's sake, enough with the apostrophe abuse. It's just embarrassing!

A group wants, not want.

Also, whether it is interesting has nothing to do with reading it. If you read it, you may learn that it's interesting, but reading it does not make it interesting.

Elie, could you pleeeeasseeee post a sample of your legal writing.

Many people are pointing out that if you read through this post is pretty fucking dumb.

Actually, Ellie, Paganism is a religion; therefore, the atheists would object to such references in the presidential oath as well.

SEVEN SPECIES OF LEGAL WEBSITE TROLLS:
1. “THIS SITE SUCKS” GUY

Responds to every post on Abovethelaw.com with a comment about how “This site used to be funny, but sucks now.” Never explains why it was better before or why it’s not funny now. Or why he nevertheless keeps reading it.

Hobbies: Compulsively reading Abovethelaw.com; Compulsively commenting on Abovethelaw.com

Bridge Under Which He Resides: Abovethelaw.com, exclusively
________________________________

2. GRAMMAR TEACHER

No original thought or criticism of anything in the story or the preceding comments in the thread. Just a sniffy, self-aggrandizing little note about how someone in a previous comment used “it’s” where “its” was proper. And therefore is not, and never will be, partner material.

Hobbies: Font-surfing; Complaining to IT department about how WordPerfect form of Courier New was superior to MSWord’s; Reading latest edition of Service Partner Weekly (Non-Equity Edition)

Favorite Bridges: Abovethelaw.com; Infirmation.com
________________________________

3. “FIRST!” GUY

The Forrest Gump of legal chat board trolls. Pathologically follows website, responding immediately to every new story with “First!” or some variation on it. Amusing when the reflexive “I’m firsty!” or “These pretzels are making me firsty!” immediately follows story on an office shooting or a noted public interest lawyer’s recent demise from stomach cancer.

Hobbies: Ritalin; Bingo; Pavlovian feedback loops

Preferred Bridge: Abovethelaw.com

I swear to Jebus that God does not belong in the oath, and that the bendiction and convocation are violations of church/state seperation.

This should just about sum it up for you law school kiddies:

Sheppard Mullin also froze salaries yesterday. Let's see a post on that.

NYT = propaganda arm of the DNC and Obama campaign/administration-to-be

Seriously ATL, let's see a post on who Sheppard Mullin is! Really, are they a law firm?

Why do people like 18 always ask to see stories about topics they already have knowledge of???

Dear 21: Because he/she works for Sheppard Mullin, and wants Sheppard Mullin to fel some blow-back on the salary freeze.

Sheppard Mullin is an Am Law 100 firm, with over 500 attorneys located in 11 offices including SF, LA and NYC.

http://www.sheppardmullin.com/firm.html

22 - no one is casting aspersions on Sheppard Mullin (though you seem defensive). I was just pointing out that associate at XYZ firm, in response to a memo or something happening at XYZ firm, always says post a story re: such memo or such happening, which obviously means they are aware of such. It just seems circular. Does anyone think Elie will really add such incredible insight to their knowledge??? Basically they are just asking for a forum to be created where they can read bitchy comments from their co-workers and their firm insulted and called "TTT" by anonytards from cyberspace.

23, your last sentence makes it sound like such a forum is a bad thing.

It's not a bad thing - but let's call it what it is, instead of asking for a "story".

- 21/23

Elie: A group of Atheists'

Really?? Please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe

You are a sloppy writer, and your example encourages Eliza to be sloppy. Are you really so busy that you can't proofread?

Please - it is just sad.

bowling girl:
zoster (shingles) is communicable during a seven day period prior to its presenting itself on the carrier. also you can contract the zoster virus whether or not you've had chicken pox as a child.
while there is no excuse for the partner's behavior, you shouldn't complain about things you don't understand.
also i hope you're a better bowler than you are an attorney.
happy new year to all.
