This is why I've made a solemn pledge to delete my Facebook, texags, and SECr the second I ever make over a certain amount of money or ever become a "public figure" I'm not a jerk on here often but it would suck to have some comment made in jest 10 years ago in a message board come back and haunt me.
True. There's a level of "playing internet" a lot of people just don't get. I post some on another board full of just terrible personas. My wife has read some of the posts and was just appalled. But I've met several of the people that post there and they are great people in the reals, they're act on that particular board is an act for the most part. But I can see how an outsider could read some of my posts on that board and conclude that I'm a terrible person and try to destroy me.

We're kind of in a time where any joke can be taken literally and it's kind of scary.
Thanks, Women's Suffrage.

I have no sympathy for him. If you are a public figure, you have to guard your tongue. Or, in this case, fingers. He made it very easy for someone to find out who he is. And while the ethical stuff may be borderline, many of the things he said don't meet the standard of behavior I expect for an elected officer of the court. If these comments are an example of his thoughts and actions, that's fine; he can be an arse if he wants to be. But that's not the kind of person I think should be deciding legal matters. Too immature and biased, by far.
