Now that we've established your first claim - that you were a "defence attorney" - doesn't exist in English law, you now claim to be a solicitor, don't you? If that's the case you would not be doing your job in a court room. If you did you would be a barrister. You really do need to sort out your facts, Ashley.

Here you go again, trying to make me look bad by bringing up my personal life. I've already told you I'm not discussing it with you so stop digging.

I'm not surprised you don't want to talk about your career with me, of all people. Although you've been okay talking about it up until I called you on it.

Also, do you have any comment on this post you made in June?:

If that was the case you could have just kept quiet about it instead of telling everyone a variety of untruths which have made you look exactly what you are: not any kind of lawyer.

I've been here for five years, no one's ever defined me by my profession. But then, I know what I'm talking about.

All you've done since you found out I was in the Law business is poke and prod, trying to push me down a bottomless pit, calling me a liar and attempting to make me look bad. What exactly is your problem? I'm still new to all of this. Instead of looking down at me and thinking of me as an amateur, then why don't you give me some tips and actually try to be a little more supportive instead of attacking me whenever you have the chance?

I've worked so hard to get where I am and I'm not ready to be talked to like I'm a piece of **** by someone higher up the chain. I don't like being made to feel small and frankly, I'm finding your behaviour highly unjust.

I have never attacked you Ashley, I've asked you pertinent questions about your claimed profession but you've not answered anything. You've never even asked me what my specialism is, that's highly unusual for another lawyer and how do you expect me to give you tips unless you know in which area of the law I work. In fact, you've never talked to me about it at all. You're apparently defending someone in court in December, regardless of the fact that it's not a solicitor's job to defend someone in court. And then there's the "defence attorney" thing, you never explained that. It's nonsense.

Frankly, I find your behaviour bordering on fantasy.

Ah Ok, I thought you had taken the bar in some state in America Ashley but that may of just been me presuming you had.
