Let's see, poke your bosses in the eye and then be shocked your job is in jeopardy? Sure, he has the right to request public records and express himself on his blog, but KFR and co. have the right to get rid of him. His lack of good judgment make him a liability to the office. It's really a shame he has been acting so irrationally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-87932092601299719002008-07-13T09:48:00.000-04:002008-07-13T09:48:00.000-04:00In the interest of fairness: 1) I did take some br...In the interest of fairness: 1) I did take some breaks, and walked a bit as well, and I'm not setting any time records for the mile.

Pretty impressive for an old guy, huh?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, as Nixon liked to say, let me be perfectly clear. I didn't ban Thompson from the blog because he kicked Kuehene when he was down, although I thought that to be very distasteful not to mention un-Christian like. Surely Jesus would have frowned on kicking one's perceived enemies. Be that as it may, I thought Mr. Thompson had a unique view and as such I went out of my way to enable him to be able to share his views here, despite dozens of emails and comments begging me to shut him up. <BR/><BR/>It was when he filed a bar complaint against me (as Rumpole) that I shut him down here. <BR/><BR/>He believed he was proving a point. I believed he was an ungrateful cur and I certainly don't have to stand for his abuse or anyone's abuse. <BR/><BR/>Am I concerned about the bar complaint? I'm more worried about global warming and oil prices. He's a fool and nobody in Tallahassee takes him seriously. So no, I am not worried about his complaint, nor am I worried about being sued by him. <BR/><BR/>I just value loyalty in an individual. I constantly said I did not support his views but I supported his right to say them in public. I still do. I just don't need to spend my valuable time and energy on someone who is so ungrateful and so wrapped up in their own troubles that they cannot even see when someone is lending them a hand. <BR/><BR/>As I have said before- he has brought on all his problems, and in the end, he and he alone will suffer the consequences. It is sad. He is obviously smart in someway, but he insists on making a martyr of himself, and when he wakes up one day and realizes no one really cares and the world has moved on, I suspect he will then rue the day he acted as he has. <BR/><BR/>But I take no joy in his downfall, and of course you didn't see a gentlemen with class like Ben Kuehene celebrating his lifetime disbarment either.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-72896711816427965382008-07-13T06:47:00.000-04:002008-07-13T06:47:00.000-04:00Rump--I respect your position from your post on Fr...Rump--<BR/>I respect your position from your post on Friday, 9:01.

I banned him from the blog because he attacked me. I disagree with most of his public beliefs (not his religion) but I support his right to say it. <BR/><BR/>I believed Mr. Thompson was petty and vindictive when people he thought were his enemies- like Ben Kehuene, had some hard times- and he rejoiced in them. <BR/><BR/>Unlike Mr. Thompson, I will not rejoice in his misfortune. And I act this way full well and knowing that given the opportunity, he would not extend me the same courtesy. <BR/><BR/>I view Mr. Thompson as an individual who is so passionately convinced about his beliefs and what is right and what is wrong, that to him the ends justify the means. <BR/><BR/>For instance: he believes video games are bad and cause violence. Thus anything and everything he does to ban video games is justified because in the end he thinks he is saving a life. <BR/><BR/>This concrete way of thinking is dangerous on many levels. But suffice to say that Mr. Thompson is not always right, but you cannot tell that to him because he won't listen. <BR/><BR/>Unlike Mr. Thompson, I do not hate and I do not seek to destroy. This must be a trying time for him and I wish him well. He certainly doesn't need me or anyone else crowing about his problems.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-54393578841688655882008-07-11T20:34:00.000-04:002008-07-11T20:34:00.000-04:00Friday, July 11, 2008 11:39:00 AM The reason Rumpo...Friday, July 11, 2008 11:39:00 AM <BR/><BR/>The reason Rumpole won't say "BOO" about Jack Thompson is because Rumpole was told by Jack that if he says "BOO" about him he would crush him with a federal and state civil action.

But I always felt comfortable asking him questions and seeking advice from him, and nearly all of my colleagues felt the same way. He never talked down to the "pit" ASAs and most of the time made himself available to help him. Those lucky ASAs who had Ranck as their D.C. loved working with him--he taught them a lot, gave them tons of constructive feedback and respected them. While most D.C.'s were nowhere to be found on evenings and weekends, David was frequently there--and ready to help.<BR/><BR/>And as for the legal division--they are there to help the Senior Trial Counsel in their murder trials and kiss KFR and co's ass. Oh yeah, I forgot to add that they add another layer of bureaucracy that ASAs must go through to get anything done. When I was in the pits, my D.C. bitched at me for doing my own research since that was what legal was for. I knew my chances of getting anyone in legal (with one exception, and she has long left the SAO) to help me were nonexistent. I had to laugh.<BR/><BR/>I know Ranck has had some personal issues--I don't know the details, it's none of my business, it's none of your business. But he is well-regarded and well-respected by many of his colleagues as well as the bench and the defense bar.
