I'm glad I can post this anonymously because I remember Officer Nardo, back in the day, when he was just a cop on the beat.

Not a nice fellow.

W. C. Fields: You gotta go away to make a comeback. Lewinsky most certainly earned hers.

Sorry, that would backfire. Some would find that no one, not even a Larry, could get them out because why should that innocent prisoner get a free ride? Some would find themselves targeted in prison assaults, with the successful assaulter getting benefits up to and including early release. If there is corruption to falsely put a guy in prison, there is corruption to prevent him getting out.

Daniel, I'm replying to you back here so hopefully only you see it.

Why don't you read the comment policy again. "Don't be a dick to others."

You just corrected someones spelling (Sat 8/10/19) of Epstein's first name. Why do you feel the need to constantly correct others? I've asked you to cool it before.

We all observe grammar and spelling errors here but you'll note only you and a few others feel the need to point them out. Why is that Daniel?

You know that saying about glass houses? Heed it. I've seen several errors on your part but was too polite to correct (read "be a dick") you. It's called "manners".

Please try and be a better person, at least here on Wonk.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

"I've asked you to cool it before."

I am pretty sure that I have also explained to you before that it's generally meant as a joke at my own expense, and that apparently unless spelt out clearly self-deferential irony is not something you understand.

"We all observe grammar and spelling errors here but you'll note only you and a few others feel the need to point them out. Why is that Daniel?"

We all observe passive aggressive behaviours here, too. Why do you think you engage in them?

As it happens, observing and noting grammar and spelling errors is literally my job, so that might factor into it. That you are so upset by it I think says more about you than it does about me.

"I've seen several errors on your part but was too polite to correct (read "be a dick") you. It's called "manners".

By all means call attention to them. I am not brittle or fragile enough to find pointing out errors I make a personal insult.

"Please try and be a better person, at least here on Wonk."

Only if you agree to continue being passive aggressive and condescending when you don't understand injokes and self-deprecating humour.

I would also want to clarify- do you think I think "bes journalisming" is correct English?

Are about a third of those churches formed because someone at another local church got upset and decided to branch off?

Joe Biden isn't the mediocre white man we deserve, but he's the mediocre white man we need right now.

That's the most astounding part. Usually when the juror starts to question the attorney, people get mad.

If the orange dictator tot is serious about his disgust for racism, he would order his minions to stop wearing Maggot Hats. Anyone holding their breath?

She was *actively* engaging me. I was content to be quiet, but she kept on needling me - and was incredibly dismissive. I almost explained that I was an analytical chemist, and I knew full well the limitations of the tech.
