> Susan J,
> It is my understanding that when someone represents themselves publiv\cally, in this case as a lawyer, that they have the same professional responsibilities as if they were in practice. Now when you did not give me a straight answer to my request, I took your answer as unprofessional and as a default to my request just as when I ask for clarification from posters and they do not respond. I consider a non-response, or an eveasive respons, for I asked if you did and did not get an answer thatanswered my request for clarification. Instaed, I got hahahaha.>>I responded that way because I thought you were being mean to me. I have stated your words have been hurtful to me. An apology from you for hurting me would have been nice, gallant, and civil.
> Well to determine if youer conduct as an attorney is acceptable to the profession, I sugget that we submit this to the bar assosiation in your state, not to anyone here including the moderwtor who is a psychiatrist, not an attorny.<<I am not practicing law here. I don't think a reasonable person would ever infer such. In addition, by posting to this site you have agreed to Dr. Bob's requirements and have read his terms. Included in these is an FAQ that addresses whom to trust and the quality of information provided.
"You can find a lot of information on the Internet. In general, that's good, but it does also leave you with the task of separating the wheat from the chaff. Before you act on something you read -- even if you read it here :-) -- take a moment first to consider the quality of that information. You probably already do that automatically to some extent, but the links below may also help."
You have been specifically warned not to rely on the information you have found posted here.
>>I am submitting this to an attorny in columbus Ohio now and asking him to arbitrate this. If he says thaT YOU CAN ANSWE ,E THAT WAY ON A PUBLIC FORUM while you represent yourself as an attorney, then I will apologise to you immediatly. But it is my underatanding, that an attorney does not shed their prfea\ssional code whebn they walk throught the gates of a public internet forum
> Lou<<I have not violated any rule of the Model Code of Professional Conduct, ABA or otherwise. The entire purpose of this board is to provide education and support and held to a "reasonable person" standard, all of my comments fall into this category. I am not practicing law, Lou. I'm here as a person with major depressive disorder, seeking support and trying to give it, just like everyone else.
Why are you here? Please clarify, because I truly don't understand.
