You didn't answer the question. The question was why would you choose to use a derrogatory term like that (shithouse lawyer) to respond to someone....yet also use a statement saying where you picked it up in order to make it ok.
You could have just as easily said..."if you aren't a therapist then...." Using a derrogatory term like that is insulting to someone TSand you know it....yet you chose to explain to us why it was ok to use that term....rather than choosing something less insulting.
It's terms like that TS that make people here feel talked down to by you. You, I'm pretty sure, feel you are being honest....but honesty can come without degredation.
TS you confuse me somewhat....you don't seem to approve of women being attracted to "macho" men, yet you yourself come across on this BB very strong. This is just my impression of you so far, and of course not knowing you in person there's much missing I'm sure, but on here you strike me as a person with a VERY strong personality, who intentionally says things to provoke people, and who cuts people down to make himself appear more important. Now, don't get me wrong...I'm not saying you ARE this person, I'm saying that's my impression from this BB. How would YOU describe yourself, who is TSinAtlanta in an everyday situation? How do you think your friends would describe you? For that matter....how would your W describe you to us? I'm truly just trying to better understand you to know where you are coming from.
