Hello again, Shirley:
I didn't see any belittling. I just saw a discussion.
The law offers ALL sorts of opportunity for people to disagree with each other. As a matter of fact, that's what our justice system is BASED on. That is two lawyers going head to head, arguing as loudly and as vociferously as they can for their legal point of view.
That's what goes on here, with good advice, hopefully, being the result.
Your legal work is cogent and smart. I hope you stick around, but you need to thicken up your skin.
