How would you imagine I would feel if a bunch of people who never even went to medical school scoffed at my advice and called me things like "docpuppy"?
Now change the following words and phrases in the above paragraph as follows: "medical topics" to "legal topics"; "medical doctors" to "lawyers"; "DoctorDog" to "Lawdog"; "medical school" to "law school."
At this point, I think the analogy should be pretty clear.
As far as my real name goes, Shoonra knows who I am. I'm sure that he is resourceful enough to check whether my credentials match my claims, if he so desires.
You can call me Scott if you wish.
And by the way, an "act of state" can be either a simple noun or a legal doctrine, depending on the context. And I know damn well what an apostille is, I had to help some clients get one a few weeks ago because they're trying to adopt an infant in Russia and bring him to this country.

Usually speaking Scott (?), from my past readings of the various threads, it is usually you that initiates the abrasive comments to unsuspecting men and women, when they are simply seeking information to assist them in their problems. So when that man or woman (or even third party intervenor) decides to respond with their own variations of abrasive language, would that not be considered as equitable behavior? You know; sort of like a bystander coming to the aid of a damsel in distress when the bystander sees the damsel being assaulted by some man that is unknown to the damsel.
My whole point is the fact that there are some on this forum that choose to use their 'proper' label as it relates to a name. Thus far, you still have not done so. You allude to the possibility of yet another 'fictitious creature' you refer to as Shoonra having cognizance of your 'proper' calling, yet you refuse to display it for others to see. You pride yourself on the alleged fact that you are a graduate of some law school ('alleged' as there is no way for another to verify this claim without the 'proper' calling being available), yet you hide behind some stage name. In my particular case, both my True calling, and the state recognized 'legal name' are all over the internet (easy to check out and verify), and I don't have a degree from any 'law school', why are you so reluctant to reveal 'who' you really are? Why are you hiding?
The boasting and bragging of your academic achievements is well and fine, and even commendable; but when contrasted to the fact that you are acting in a manner that displays a condition, or promotes the cognition of others, that you are ashamed of 'who' you are, is an entirely different story. How is it possible for you to gain the respect and dignity that a graduate of law school would desire, when you hide the REAL you from those that are observing your actions on this forum?

Edited information: BTW, the scenario of the medical forum is poor judgment on your part. This past Tuesday night, my wife died of Cancer. During her bout with the ailment, I personally questioned a number of Oncologists that were attending her, and they all were forced, through honesty and guilt, that they did not know where Cancer comes from, nor do they understand 'how' it gets started. So should I call these professionals who went through med school incompetent? They openly admit that they are incompetent, when they admit that they "do not know".
