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'
