One day you might have to accept that on an internet forum, no one cares if you're a lawyer or a bus driver, and the only thing that matters is your argument in and of itself. "And I am a lawyer so!" means absolutely nothing here, but you bring it up and expect it to quite frequently.

Whereas you have nothing to back up your own assertions.

You get very prickly whenever I say anything about my profession.

I don't believe I'm right because of my profession. I believe I'm right because I've thought it through. If you don't want to be reminded what I do for a living stop trying to make your own case by talking me through evidence and witness statements.
