I can definitely understand what you're saying. The idea of this perpetual tennis match can be trying. Nevertheless, you have to realize that isobars depends on you, because he elects to see you and respond to you here. As a result, you carry a deeper responsibility. That means he can taunt you anytime you elect to contribute here. In a sense, those of us that have been "PLONKED" are far less burdened.

Do you think that if no one ever responded to him, that he would simply go away?

Good winds to you CB! I think I'll take my leave too. I'm tired of the continual assaults against women waged by iso and his cronies on this forum.

I repeat. There is much more wrong with Mikey than narcissism. He reminds me of a member of the American Nazi party I knew at a blue collar job in the early 1970's. Very sick.

Well said Mac. I didn't feel it my place to say so, but, precisely what I was thinking.

He's turned his twisted rage on C.B. at present after his initial overtures were ignored, but as Chandler, Mo, and others say, he's an embarrassment to many of the people on this forum.

You're right. Because you refuse to use the bulletin board's normal QUOTE button but instead cut and paste stuff, the resulting format is confusing. I had to Google the accusation to find its real source ... to whom my post still applies.

Interestingly, in that Google process I saw that

Another incitement (not incisive) from Mr. Ficktion. I realize you were in the admitted infancy of your political awareness at that time, but even you should know the difference between a charge and a conviction. The Senate acquitted President Clinton based on what everyone knows was a highly politicized investigation


Apparently Dan, a lawyer, does not even understand that impeachment does not imply conviction; the charge itself constitutes impeachment even if the charge is dismissed. I wonder if he knows that the same goes for a military court martial. But what I REALLY wonder is whether he, whose career is our adversarial jurisprudence system, understands that it is based on the presumption that sworn testimony is true unless explicitly disproved, and that president and lawyer Bill Clinton’s perjury -- lying under oath --before a grand jury undermines that system. Thus while politics may have helped initiate his impeachment, his own party, if it had a conscience, shouldn’t have needed the GOP to push the issue.


Wrong. Mike, why don't you go to law school before pontificating on the rules of evidence and trial practice? Oral testimony is presumed to be neither true nor false. The trier of fact (judge or jury) is expressly charged with the obligation to weigh the credibility of the witness who utters factual claims. The trier of fact is free to believe the witness or not.

Holy cow, Mike, you bootstrap your arguments. Clinton was acquitted of perjury, yet you make the case that he perjured himself and it was his perjury that undermined the office. Remember, he was tried on two counts, perjury and obstruction of justice, and acquitted on both.

Impeachment is the process, not the outcome. Bill Clinton was impeached.

Thanks for news flash Mr. Gybe, did you hear that Mexico devalued the peso?

Thus you admit by definition that he was impeached, while loudly denying and obfuscating that fact with diversions. Good lawyer!

I've not been to law school, but my sources included Hanse and Black and I know that impeachment refers to charges and processes, not verdicts. Do you have ANY idea how many times I've defeated single lawyers and even whole teams of lawyers in decisions involving thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars, including blue chip corporation lawyers, a government procurement agency, local ambulance chasers, and federal court? They all put their pants on the same way I do: jump into the air and come down into my wingtips.

The difference so far is that mine were already laced and ready for the fight. I don't enter frays that important as unarmed as Verrilli was in the Supreme Court this week.

Knew somebody would enjoy that one, which actually took place in 1994.
