what race to mark on LS apps?

OMG, another LR "flawed reasoning" stimulus. What is up with people today? Full moon?

Victory? I am not cometing with you, laddie. You stated something that is wrong. I pointed it out to you, and yet you persisted. I pointed out your error again. You did some investigation, conceded a little bit, and then in the same post then said "we all know why it is being asked" etc... Again wrong (information does not equal knowledge; there is proof). Then you get personal (of course), and a lttle bit hot under the collar. You then take a break, and when you come back it is "crock of sh*t" and "what a load". Don't be surprised if I don't take your propositions seriously. They haven't earned it the status of argument yet.

And don't be offended, for goodness' sake: you can be wrong and still be an ok person. This isn't about you: it's about your position on this issue.

Too many people take debates personally.  It's hard to be an attorney - especially in litigation - when you take every argument as a personal attack.

I'm through with this argument for now.  You're rude and you've been wrong a few times, too.  Have a nice night.

Sheesh.

Hissy fit.

I hope you're not referring to myself; this is a message board, not lawyering.  There's a difference in how one comports his/herself here as opposed to in one's career.

Not a very big one.  If you can't even debate on a message board without taking everything personally, how do you expect to do it when you have fellow lawyers whose sole aim is to make you lose?

Also, for someone so concerned with how personal I've taken the argument, I really think it's ironic how many of her posts were about how I was taking the argument.

ttfn.

How is that ironic?

And what does ttfn mean? just out of curiosity?

I'd argue that I haven't taken this nearly as personally as you guys think I have.  Further, the whole timeline about me getting worked up, cooling off, coming back and being personal is pretty inaccurate.  I'd suggest reading back through her posts as well; she hasn't missed an opportunity to get in a personal jab here or there, and if she thinks I needed time to cool off, that's fine, but in reality, the times when I wasn't posting, I was either working or driving home from work.

Also, for someone so concerned with how personal I've taken the argument, I really think it's ironic how many of her posts were about how I was taking the argument.

ttfn.

I thought you were done with this for the night. 

Relax dude.  This post is an example why people think you're taking things personally.
