"Bang Up" job? hmmmm, I believe this is one of the cases where we prove that Americans and British are divided by a common language (as well as dietary habits, big hair on women, dodgy TV and flatulence) - I am not sure what that phrase means in the US, but I would not repeat in polite company (and here I am giving you all the benefit of the doubt)what it means in England, or at least my part of it.
Geo, we are not merely in the situation where one is trying to be overly careful about every single word to avoid any suppression of the flow of ideas, we are talking about the rightness or wrongness of making generic statements, expecially when they post up as topic titles on threads.
My case for taking offense is this, I am a lawyer, I saw that thread title and post, I was offended. Be thankful I am not reaching for my attorneys there in the USA and demanding they bring a claim for $10million against Atrocities (and vicariously you as moderator and Shrapnel as forum host) for libel!
The only reason I am not doing that if cos I dont think you lot are good for the cash
As moderator, I demand you change the thread title to "How long will litigious and unscrupulous American qualified attorneys practicing both contentious Federal and State law go" immediately.
I also demand you formally reprimand Atrocities in writing and in triplicate for his willful and hurtful attack on the worldwide legal community.
