Subject: Yes I am an attorney. - Re: [DNG] Identity of OP (Software written by contractors and the 'work for hire') concept
Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2017 12:48:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c006bae38d0352c56bc363e4c7e3f12c@redchan.it> (raw)
Yes I am a licensed attorney.
No I am not going to give you my registration number nor am I going to
show you my bar card.
I'm sure you will keep on libeling me...
All my legal analysis has been correct however, you might ponder why
that is so...
Rick Moen and Adam Borowski: I am a licensed attorney. My legal analysis
of the GRSecurity situation is correct. I am telling you to cease
libeling me by spreading false rumors.
You seem to think because it is your belief that I oppose you on some
un-related social issue that it is just *impossible* for me to have
passed an exam at some point.
Others think it impossible, for a similar reason, for me to be a
programmer, or a 3d video-game level architect, or a texture artist, or
a pixel artist, hobby musician, etc etc.
They are wrong, so are you. I am all these things. From programmer, to
artist, to attorney.
