With a pair of post highlighting first the great esteem the media holds R.L. Hymers, Jr, a snipit:
[“Linda”]: “I’ve seen him, personally, hit someone repeatedly in the face. I’ve seen him do that.”
Anson: “Sometimes the emotional abuse can be very public, even if the transgression appears to have nothing to do with religion. In this old church bulletin, one woman is attacked for ‘the soul damning sin of gluttony.’ Another is condemned for an alleged ‘unnatural sex crime,
her second.’”
Read the lot and shake your head. The second is another series of letters that concludes with a zinger:
10) I do not hold out any particular hope that Dr. Robert L. Hymers will ever become a real man, by learning to take responsibility for his actions—much less develop a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I do, however, hold out both of those hopes for young Leslie, and he will remain in my fervent prayers. Please give him my best—but let him know that if he wants to go to law school, he must work on his writing skills and reasoning ability just a bit.
And he ought to learn to behave like a gentleman with respect to older ladies.
I think going after this lady was a very foolish move.



A point that diverges from the main issue: law school is not for the faint of heart, those with a lot of psychological issues to work out, or anyone who is not ready for an academic hazing ritual. The work itself is not hard, but the mental toughness required to get through it is not anything you want to face unarmed.

Roxeanne writes that you’re Sicilian. Is this true DTG? I thought you were Italian.
Yes my relatives came from a village called Castania although one grandparent was from Calabria
