Ignoring the stupidity and bad grammar rampant in this post, does anyone think that "being a member of the bar" is something that requires us to somehow show kind of special compassion and dignity in our ordinary life? I can see that if you're in court you should act like a grownup, but outside of when I'm actually at work and working on work stuff, the fact that I'm a member of the bar doesn't impact my behavior. In fact, if I stopped practicing law (hi ltl/fb!!) I don't think that I would be able to display any less dignity in my personal life than I do now.

No, certain members of the board like to continually point it out that I am a paralegal...but yet I am held to some higher standard than others that I have to be tolerant and rise above and not take bait when it is evident that Ok you're some "BIGLAW atty" that you are supposed to be somewhat mature.
That being said a lot of members of the bar have a seriously flawed personal life.
