I'm constantly on the look-out for the dirt on Conservatives...

You also suffer a knowledge deficit as re: the "art" of American lawyering.

I haven't the time to explain that.

It probably works in much the same way as it does over here.

The people who complied the Barret Report didn't have enough evidence to release all of their findings. They wouldn't have held up under the scrutiny of people employed to find fault within them.

Some of their assertions must have been watertight - hence the redacted report getting published. It appears that a lot of their other assertions were not watertight, since they weren't published along with the watertight stuff.

Hence their relagation to fodder for Conservative conjecture in the unpopular press.

Rest assured, there are those who have seen it intact and have made allusions to it's contents, but are legally constrained from quoting with specificity.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Indeed, it would be churlish to draw conclusions at this juncture.

As was my initial point in post 116.

Indeed; I was merely throwing out a teaser:

Why would the lawyerists waste such flipping great wodges of cash for no reason?

Forgive my counting on your ability to read between the lines.

This condescension tactic frequently works on fifteen year olds who cannot go a complete sentence without a 'lol', and it's to your credit that you've not yet failed. However, when put into practice against folk who are somewhat older, I've noticed that you end up looking like a bit of a smug twat.

From the above, I infer that you're suggesting that they shouldn't have bothered with lawyers and left the whole thing to chance.

'Ah, that Barret Report is probably utterly unbiased so having a legal team check it over would be a complete waste of money'.

I have my lawyer check over even the smallest detail which I believe could impinge upon my professional standing, don't you? I imagine a gentleman such as Mr. Clinton would place himself firmly to the left of the caution threshold in matters such as these.

I think you're many things, j2. A tightwad, probably - but not an ostrich.



However, one lives and one learns.

I infer someone "older" should think twice ere presenting with the smug sophistication of a fifteen-year-old.

That is what I think.

You sure put me in my place

Why would I do that?

I never leave my place, and do not allow others to direct me.

Your "place" is yours to seek, monkey-boy, and you end up there by your own hand.

If you don't like it, don't blame me.

[manker]

It appears your place involves obfuscation when confused. This time including insults.

How is that working out for you. I trust the reparation is worth the indignity.

'Monkey boy' ... really, you'll be calling me gay next.

You're the one with the attitude, manker.

I don't know what started it.

Or perhaps you'd prefer to wear the "condescension" crown for yourself?

My claim on it seems to have made you a bit pissy.

If I recall, I was the one who placed that particular albatross around your neck. So that's hardly likely to perturb me.

Just read back thro' your posts for clues, discern for yourself which comments could have possibly made me take umbrage.

If your difficulty in ascertaining exactly what caused this continues, I suspect a smug fifteen year old could do it for you, because it's not difficult.
