Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes famously observed that “the life of the law has not been logic, but experience.” One adherent to this principle appears to be Paul Baldwin, 48, who was arrested for the 153rd time and told a New Hampshire judge “I don’t need a lawyer – I’ve been in this court more than you have.”
Baldwin’s latest arrest came after he allegedly punched a man in the face. He had only been out of jail for a week (for stealing a can of beer) when he was arrested for the new offense. He is being held at the Rockingham County Jail on charges of simple assault and two counts of criminal trespass. He appeared by video in a surgical mask because of fears that he was contagious due to a respiratory ailment. 
Of course, J.D.’s are not normally awarded under a frequent felon program.

There is no way what you and Bron did was funny. Trust, even within this online blawg, is critical.
My last reply on this subject. Thanks.

Thank you and I did not do it. I do not think I did it. I may have done it but I don’t recall. I will neither admit nor deny it and I leave Patty C to her proofs.
Patty C. being nice, no one could mistake that for the real patty C, can’t you see the humor in that? I can and I get a smirk. I wish I had thought of it before.
Well Patty C.
Is that you? Get over it and be pleasant, you are a guest like the rest of us.
I do think its funny. Don’t you? You being “nice and apologetic” that is what I think is funny. Just like we don’t expect Dick Cheney to be any different, he at least is sounding like he may realize he has made a mistake.
Did not you get cautioned by the Professor for Rudeness? Are there not some other people on this list that have said the same thing to you? Can’t you get a clue? You too can be banned so keep it up dear lady.

I hope JT bans you, too…

Now, this I believe!

Not, to me you haven’t and neither has Bron 98

Right back at you, young fella’ and if you can’t figure out my true identity from my past posts I need to get into that Clark Kent/Superman business. Personally, I want to avoid being accused of using the blog as some sort of marketing vehicle. This is just a personal choice, and I certainly don’t intend to imply or cast any aspersions at those lawyers who do use their real names. In my corner of the law, self-promotion is seemingly a way of life. Placet cuique suum.

So how do you suppose we could exchange emails without notifying the world?
Mespo and Mike and others. Clark Kent I am not, Bruce Wayne I could be but the batcave was forsaken. I was lost and now I may want to be found selectively.
Now that you know I did not do the Patty C. this time, which I still think is funny. I will not admit nor deny the other ones but they were equally as funny.
My friend that I invited here thinks this is a pretty good site.

I only post as Dredd … hopefully that is not too much.
This is a good blog.
Mike S.
I appreciate what you said. Remember, I said I owned up to it because, I wanted to have the focus on me as opposed to anyone else. I can handle the snerky remarks and snarliness easily. Some others may be fair skinned.
When I have been called down, I have apologized without hesitation.
I have learned something and its pretty appropriate here. It is none of my business what you think of me. And if you think I am paranoid, in your mind I am. So why should I fight you and me at the same time.
Bron:
I’m going Senator Keeley on you for impersonating family.
One of the few reasons I post on this site is the anonymous nature of the dialogue. Thanks to our host for helping maintain the security.
Thank you JT.
AY I apologize for my suspicions of you, I am truly sorry. On the other hand I’m glad it wasn’t you because I like your stuff.
Bron thank you for coming clean. Such posting, as you are now aware, destroys the integrity of what we all are trying to accomplish here. While I dislike what you did and imagine it was done in a misguided spirit of fun, I still have enjoyed your posting and the person you purport to be.
To everyone of the regulars,
The reason I use my own name is because of the fact that on the Web so many use the anonymity as an opportunity to reinvent themselves and the mythology of their lives. I sometimes fret that I am exposing myself to being tracked by bad people, but then I am not without resources of self protection and a paranoid life is not fulfilling. The haven for intelligent interaction that Professor Turley has provided us is well appreciated. I feel like I have made many new friends, if only in Cyberspace and appreciate the opportunities to display my thoughts.
I am not saying that people shouldn’t use pseudonyms, because I understand that while I’m retired, with no further career aspirations, most of you are not and for various reasons need the anonymity. What is unacceptable is for any of us site regulars to advance our arguments, or dislikes, by
falsifying entries. If we can’t do it in our real persona, then it is not worth being done. Part of the reason this site works so well is because unlike the big, money-making powerhouse sites, this one is the personal domain of our host. I read Huff Post for instance daily, but never comment there, because the level of discourse is intolerable. While we get our occasional trolls here, mostly we get intelligent people, honestly discussing their viewpoints.
Anyway, where else can a verbose old codger like me, endlessly restate the obvious and yet get people to read his
wordy contributions?
I thank you all for the kindness you’ve shown me.
Mike
Bron,
Shame on you, knuckle head.
lol
Something tells me keeping quiet isn’t in your personality, Mike A, teleprompter or not.
Hey, no one told me I could have a nom de plume. I thought my only choices were to hold myself up to public ridicule or keep quiet.
I knew Turley had the wisdom of Solomon. Cut the blogger in two, indeed. Bron98, you prodigal son you, — now back to work solving the problems of our time. I’m feeling very Biblical today, apparently.
CCD:
yes it was me, I wanted to come forward for 2 reasons:
1. to allow you all to blog w/o suspicion
2. to allow Prof. Turley to keep his word about anonynimity of posters
Bron98,
Thank you for exposing the source.
Now, the rest of us should never use more than 1 nom de plume on this site–for whatever reason–and realize that our posts as regulars are capable of helping to cause others to act out of character.
Bron98:
Is that really you?
Without the dual pill avatar?
Thanks for coming clean.
🙂
just so there is no infighting among the regulars I posted as Patty C. this one time I did not do the others.
I also posted the Jim Bryne as Nixon farewell address the other day. And I have posted as Agapetus.
So hopefully this will quell any suspicions and allow you all to relax and continue your commentary in peace.
FFLEO:
I was hoping that Bron98 would come forward on his own, which I appreciate.

BVM:
Are you even registered to vote? Your posts suggest you haven’t a clue as to what it takes to support a candidate for an elected office, at any level.
I’m certain there is a forum where your replies are relevant, but they have the frequency of white noise here.
