If saying you haven't recalled facts correctly or paid attention to detail is a 'personal attack', then you calling me 'wrong' and insinuating I was dumb enough to mix up indictment and conviction (despite that I hadn't) is also a personal attack. Stop playing the victim, it's a sad pathetic look.

Is this some kind of threat? You have a power play fetish too eh? What would I _ever_ do without non-practicing lawyers arguing with me about the risk of me going to jail for some Texas penal code offense they can't even find a conviction for under one of the most common socially frowned upon 'fact patterns' known to man (Texan drunk at the wheel on his fenced-in property). But hey man, however you keep your razor sharp I guess.

Other snips from Otterley's attacks on my character:

'Worse, you are a hypocrite: You gladly take full advantage of the protections the law affords you, while expressing disdain for the protections and fairness-guiding that the law affords others.'

'I think we've reached the end of this conversation with a clear understanding of the type of person you are. This is a garden-variety description of egotistical selfishness'

'Good for you. I bet you have a Black friend, too.'

Mr. Otterley: YOU are the hypocrite.

Oh and another one for my friend Otterley from our old conversation, in case we don't meet each other under this username again:

'But I really thank you for the laughs. Maybe the next time I spark up a blunt, I'll stop and think to myself "lawless egotistical selfishness" and think back about dear Otterley'

I admit I did do that in a prior conversation. I apologize. I should not have done that. I disagree with you on many things, but it should not stoop to a personal level.

Thank you. I also apologize for the times I've overstepped the bounds of politeness, inclusive of my statement regarding 'someone formally trained in law.' I hope from here on out we can focus more attention on making any interactions with each other more focused on learning from each others' different perspectives in a positive and constructive way. I will try channel these experiences into become a better communicator.
