re: blog outs Tigerdroppings poster as Arkansas judge

This guy needs to be removed for simply being a LSu fan, already shows poor judgment.

Well, he's definitely got all the makings of an incompetent douchebag.

that was the only thing good the geubert had going for him..

I remember some of his posts now.. Arrogance with a capital A.

lol. Aaaand this is why you shouldn't let yourself get doxed.

edit: rather, this is why you shouldn't let yourself get doxed if you are a stupid a-hole

OUCH. This dude may be in trouble. But hey, this board breeds this type of discussion. He was going with the flow. Why should we hold him to a higher standard when nothing he's done or said has impacted his courtroom proceedings to our knowledge.

I don't know law so I don't know what kind of expectation of privacy a person has in this case, or what kinds of rules there are for judges that protect privacy. From my perspective as a medical professional, I would be up shite creek without a paddle if I posted about a celebrity's private medical history or treatments and my identity was uncovered. That's why I don't do shite like that.

(It doesn't have to be a celebrity, it could be any random person, but posting a celebrity's info is far more likely to get attention and be reported)

It may not work like that in law, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's analogous.

I wouldn't expect the First Amendment to protect me from being punished for HIPAA violations.

The older I get the more I find myself wondering "how the hell did [insert name] get to be [insert position of power] when he's such a tactless imbecile?"

Guy should resign out of embarrassment alone.

This a-hole doesn't have one redeeming quality.

wait a second,,, he may not be perfect,, but t's already been established he is an LSU fan..

If he believes one zillionth of what he posted, he should not be a judge of any kind. "We" aren't judges who are supposed to be impartial, but he is. He's also not supposed to run to a message board and give details of private proceedings.

And as I said, finances play a big factor in who I vote for, - not how much they're worth, but how financially sound & what kind of financial judgment they use in their personal lives. If their house has been in foreclosure, defaulted on loans, etc., I have a problem with that, especially concerning judges, for obvious reasons.

I think many people still don't get that in certain positions, should you decide to take them, there are just things one cannot do or say publicly. That's the way it's always been & will always be. Just life. People can always choose not to take or run for those positions. If they feel the need to "vent" I'm sure they've got family members or therapists or trusted friends to talk to. What this guy did is beyond stupid, but I'm glad he did it, because I'm sure he'll be allowed to keep his position & probably still run for appeals court judge, but hopefully, now, he won't get it.
