I have some very small sympathy for ppnyc in that it is very difficult for anyone to sustain a dignified defense with 40 lawyers simultaneously gunning for you.* It may even feel a coordinated attack, even though it is not.

But I do not think that she should be treated like an eggshell poster because she's unable to take the fallout from what anyone who has read (and comprehended) a day of this board could see was going to be an unmitigated disaster on all fronts. I take shit on a regular basis about my driving. The Wonk fat jokes prevail even though they're now inapplicable. NFH still takes crap on a regular basis about her objecting to an image involving her grandparents. Hank's drinking problem is always thrown in his face. Ty's mad editing skilzz on the PB will always be brought up again and again and again. Did you know that str8 went to Yale? History has shown that objecting to ribbing and making fun of something will only exacerbate the jokes.

No one** gives a shit that ppnyc is "only a paralegal." In exchange, she shouldn't expect special treatment because she's not a lawyer. And if she says something objectionable--for example, that being a divorced woman is some sort of stigma--gwinky shouldn't be prohibited*** from responding just because she doesn't like ppnyc.

*Though I will say that as much as I hated, despised, and abhored Not Me, she could take it. The difference, though, was that Not Me wanted sought out to be hated. That doesn't seem to be the case with ppnyc, though with some of the stuff that she says, maybe I've misjudged her.

**Except ppnyc.

***By prohibited, I mean urged not to respond, not actually censored, which isn't going to happen here.

while I appreciate the thoughtful nature of in which this was composed, RT, I don't expect special treatment since I am a non-JD. I just really really think that the merciless constant teasing was a bit much. And very mean-spirited. I took the dressing down from TM in the shorts and objected but went about my business in the normal fashion. The continued ribbing was incessant. I don't expect "special" treatment as a paralegal but as a dignified human. No one wants to be called fat and ugly constantly when that was his subjective asessment.
