Yeah, there is even more of a flaw, so to speak, of the celebrity lawyers because they are trying to be more successful by the force of their celebrity, not necessarily their legal acumen, though that is a presumption. Quite often, they seem like narcissist drunks to me. I love the suntan and that desperate look of "I need a drink" as the afternoon goes by. Evertyime I'd look at Bailey, I could swear I could smell whisky fumes through the teevee screen.
KNOCK IT OFF.
And you, calm down. Report it and move on. We're discussing this now because of another mod's report, but it means more when a report comes from a member, or better yet, several members.

So serious question here. Does BARF prefer that we sort of self moderate like this, which may actually result in some public shaming but not a suspension, or for us to report it where your only option is to suspend or not? Not at all trying to be argumentative, but I was sort of under the impression that calling someone out like this was preferable to reporting them. In the future, I will merely report these things, but ultimately I personally see some value in members being able to tell someone they are being out of line, without it resulting in disciplinary action. I don't want to see CS suspended for this. I'd rather see him edit his post and learn from it.
Ya know, honestly, some folks are great, natural moderators. They have a calming effect when they post and we tend to really like it when you guys just sorta take care of things on your own. You're not one of those people. :later It doesn't mean you're not a perfectly awesome human being, but you've got an edge to ya that probably means that you're a better candidate for the Report button.

Got it and totally agree.
I suppose I should have worded it differently. Maybe something like "Clutchslip, I'd like to request that you read through your comments prior to posting to see if anything you wrote may be offensive or otherwise hurt us sensitive people. I mean, despite the fact that you personally have been asked to not post political banter in the KS, you keep doing so. Repeatedly. And while your Hillary joke was funnier than a drunk fat guy on a dance floor, it may not be appreciated by all and it would be great if you could change this behavior slightly in the future, despite the repeated requests and your refusal to do so.
Thanks. Kisses, love and happiness,
Yours truly,
Snowflake G. Libtard."

As much as I love Snowflake G. Libtard (is the g for goddamed?) bit, my question is why can't you just let it go by?
As the thread starter, I was just gonna let it go by. OTOH, these types of guys do in fact show up on pundit shows, so it didn't even surprise me, considering the ubiquitousness of Dershowitz on Fox etc . It was mildly relevant.
Just cut back on the caffeine, I guess? Ommmmmm.
Back to Flea, if we didn't exhaust the topic. His characterizations of Marcia Clark, now that there was a hot take.

Oh I've let it go dude. But as the thread starter, you don't really get to decide what is acceptable or not. Just sayin'
Neither do I, which is why I asked the question as to the best method of dealing with things like this. Some people have to turn every post political, even when it has nothing to do with politics.
Sorry if I offended you with my reaction to someone.

You didn't offend me. But kind of asked aloud what was thought of as correct thing to do.
It's weird but F Lee Bailey is kind of right on the edge of meandering into political. I didn't put it there, but maybe should have...
Mike, two people have pretty nicely asked you to cease and desist. The OP wasn't claiming ownership of the thread, but stating that if someone really cares, it should probably be him. Again, just report it. And don't respond in this thread to me or anyone else about this, eh? Just unsubscribe, take a walk around the block, whatevs gets you to your happy place.

Anyway, he claimed that Marcia Clark was hitting on almost every male and doin it with Darden. Geezus, talk about adding some drama in the drama.
Quoting because not sure anybody read the thing:
Q:" One focus of the recent series “The People v. O.J. Simpson” was all of the sexism toward Marcia Clark. Looking back, do you regret the way she was treated?
A: Oh, shit no. She's the one that changed her ’do, because she didn't think she looked glamorous enough. Marcia Clark was a second- or third-rate lawyer. She didn't do a good job. She hit on everybody but Bob Shapiro, who she hated. She was shacking up with Darden, which is fine except it’s not a good idea during a heated trial, and she was wrapped up in a custody case with her husband that had her late for court and badly distracted, and she also had the vocabulary of a tank commander. She did not know how to cross-examine. I have nothing good to say about Marcia Clark. [13]
Clark did not respond to a request for comment.
Q: But she was treated in such a demeaning way. The defense team called her “whining” and “overly emotional.” The judge told jurors not to be distracted by her short skirts, and he interrupted her opening statement. Johnnie Cochran even called her “hysterical.”
A:That’s all bullshit. That’s all absolute bullshit. People looking back invent things that never happened. She got treated fine. If Ito ever said anything about her skirts, which I doubt, I was not in the courtroom. [14]
Q:The sexist behavior toward Clark was reported widely during the trial. The New York Times described her “short skirts that even Judge Lance A. Ito has commented on,” while the president of the Los Angeles Chapter of the National Organization for Women, Tammy Bruce, sent the judge a collection of video clips in which he and Simpson’s attorneys disparaged her. “It has become rather apparent,” Bruce wrote to Ito, “that you are treating Deputy District Attorney Marcia Clark with a different level of respect than the other attorneys.”
A: I did not attend the whole trial. I would have heard of that. Marcia Clark was an offensive woman. She called me a liar on the record. Very unprofessional. Nobody mistreated her in a way that she didn't bring upon herself. She was actually the heroine of the trial and we were the bullies, because we were so many and so legendary. And she was just poor little Marcia, with her serf as an assistant. I never saw the press give her anything I would call unfair, as I kept up with the trial, which was every day...

Yup. Out.
Next time you will be suspended for posting a Political statement outside of the PS. Reminder
Clutchslip please refrain from political stuff in the sink. Last warning.
Your are a serial offender at this point and we are done with it.
Yeah, that was a really interesting part of the interview for me too. Was it true? No idea. Wasn’t there. He was though. I doubt his recollection is 100% accurate, but there must some truth in there someplace. Everyone has a perspective.
Be interesting to see if any of the players he mentions respond.

Rolls with it...
Clark is producing and hosting TV shows, Darden is a defense lawyer, represented Eric Holder (not THAT Eric Holder, but the one that shot Nipsey Hussle) until he got death threats, not sure why they'd bother (without getting paid, that is...).
Clark gets way too much credit for blowing that case, she had tons of help from the LAPD (Fuhrman, whatta POS) and the sloppy forensics.

Not to mention that her ex husband absolutely exploited her being on that case to seize custody of their kids, total douchebag move and one that would of totally fucked up her head...I know, been there and had my career destroyed by similar circumstances.
