Attention Please.

[Carl East]

Siren, you are and ever shall be a true friend to those that know you as I do. I have never looked upon you as a lawer, but as a fellow literotican, and someone I have shared some laughs with.

More importantly though, I look on you as a friend who has helped those in need. Please try to remember that not everyone is untrustworthy, although I know it's hard after recent events on this board.

You are not only liked, but admired by many people here, I for one am proud to have made your acquaintance and respect any decision you make here today.

Lots of love



Carl

Siren,

Don't let this get to you. I for one could care less if you're a lawyer, or a janitor, I have come to respect and admire you for YOU! Your intellegience, your sense of humor, your heart.

It amazes me, that people asking for advise on an internet bb, would ever even jokingly consider said advice could or should be legally binding. Hell, I could tell someone I was a doctor, and that the only "cure" for whatever disease they might have, (or might have made up, this is the internet folks) is to soak thier head under water for 10 mins. If they do this, then drown they're stupid.

Don't get me wrong there is alot of good advice around here, but it all needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Ok, I don't know where that came from.

Siren, I just want you to know (without any cyber hugs) you are loved and appriciated around here.

Siren,

For what is worth I have done a few units of law and while it is in Australia there are certian mixiums that will apply in any case.

1) A discussion in a BB ititiate my some one other than you.
That person has asked for advice in public thereby inviting public viewing of the advice. The BB is the agent of the person requesting the advice. Priv is waived by the starting point of the advice requested.
2) An advice must be based on the fact of the matter and as such this information supplied has a right to be questioned.
3) Advice givcen for free, the person giving the advice must act with due care there is a deminishment of responsibility where the advice is not for reward.
4) In any case the advice must be viewed as a whole and as the person giving the advice in this case was purly trying to establish if there was a prima faci case to answer the advice as a whole would probably have been. Yes there appears to be a case to answer get your self a lawyer and pay them.
5) No reasonable person in the circumstances would believe that the advice as given was based on extensive research and investigation in to the full circumstances of the matter. They should view any advice in line with this thought.

We are lucky that there is a test as to what a reasonable person in the circumstances would believe.

IF YOU WANT PERSONAL ADVIVE DONT ASK THE QUESTION IN A PUBLIC PLACE.

*shaking my head* You helped me once through PM. Your wisdom at the time was greatly appreciated. I don't post much on this board anymore as I do not seem to 'click' with alot of the people. But I do have different things I read, and lady you have always given sound advice. It's a shame that people need to attack others just because of a profession. Look to the person and not the profession and you will find that these people are unique just like everyone else. A profession can bring prestige, but it's the person inside who decides how/what to do with that prestige. Afterall, they have to live with themselves.

Do you people realize that someday in your life you will need to depend on a lawyer to help you out? I hope your biased thinking doesn't prevent you from finding the good from the bad. Yes, there are some bad lawyers out there, but the good ones far outnumber the bad. Not all of them are money hungry, power-wielding vandals like some would like to think.

Siren, you have never disappointed me here on this board. I for one, appreciate all you have ever tried to do. It's a shame that a few idiots have to make you feel so badly.

Sounds like Woodyviagra come back to life- "you're all on report!"
I wonder how his lawsuits are going these days?

Lots of people threaten stupid things here. Usually the trolls, but sometimes a fuckwad member. Don't let them get to you, Siren. You help a lot of people, and I'd hate to see that stop.

I can be a real asshole when I see someone undeserving getting shafted. I prefer to play nice but this is starting to really annoy me.
Its sad that some folks are dicks. But I also understand Sirens need to feel safe. It ends up being our loss that one or two fuckheads make people fear to post in a way that is thier nature.
So in a way this screws us all, because before this she would think about helping before thinking about what harm it would do to her. Now she has to be safe and I cant blame her for that.
There has been a lotta shit stirring lately and I have tried to ignore it. However this is my limit. The next thing I see that pisses me off Im gonna let rip with quite a bit of pent up anger.
For the record, I barely know Siren. But I do know she got screwed today and I dont like it.

Siren, I consider you a friend and a class act to boot. You have always been nice to me & while I know you don't need us to validate you, I just wanted to tell you how much I admire & respect you.

Siren,
I am so sorry that you have to be concerned about such outrageous nonsense.
After I had my accident , I considered asking you for some legal advice, but I decided that it was not right to bother you with it, as I felt that you come here for enjoyment, and friendship, and not to be "on the clock". And yet I knew that if I had asked you would have freely and willingly given me your counsel, as well as your friendship.
It's sad that you should feel you are endangering yourself by helping others, but I also have to say that you owe no one here any of your time or expertise. You have already done so much to help so many people. If you never offer another word of advice, you have done far more than your share.
