PERSONAL ATTACKS

On crooked lawyers and rate your solicitor, I notice that I (Catherine McGlynn) feature extensively.  The posters (aka John Gill and his tiny band of decrepid sychophantic followers) feel the need to make the most ridiculous personal comments about me.

Surely if these people are supposed to be working for people who have genuine concerns or complaints about the legal profession they should be concentrating their efforts on trying to resolve those concerns and complaints rather concentrating their time on personal attacks?  But a lot of us know that helping people is not their main concern, their main concern is to grind their own particular axe.

They post things about me such 'as her glistening dentures', something that actually made me smile.  Why?  The word 'glistening'.  I have all my own teeth, not a denture in sight (or in mouth for that matter) and to think one of these people noticed I have glistening teeth is very nice.  Thank you.

They also say things like 'in her mid to late 50's'.  What can I say ~ they should have gone to Specsavers.

Oh, and the ones that make me laugh most of all?  Comments about my ability as a photographer.  First, I am of course not a professional photographer ~ it is my passion.  Someone (John, his companion, or one of their sychophants) said 'blurry' photos.  I have discarded more excellent photos as not been good enough than any of The Lone Ranger's Little Folk will ever manage to take in their combined lifetimes.  They even said the credits people have posted about my photos were posted by me under various names.  My photos on flickr have been viewed by (currently) 19,407 people and commented on by many of those.  In reality who on earth (or at least who with a modicom of intelligence) could imagine even I could manage all that!  Oh, and let me show my selection of Donegal photos just to show they are fairly good http://www.flickr.com/photos/donegalireland/sets/

Ut est verum.

THE LONE RANGER HAS BEEN CANONISED!

I took a little visit to the crooked laywers site recently and I can honestly say I haven't laughed so much in a long time.

It turns out that 'The Lone Ranger' has been canonised.  I kid you not, posters on their guest book refer to him as 'St. John' and give him acolades such as "If John can't get it done, no-one can".  Well, clearly no-one can get whatever "it" is done, since The Lone Ranger is a bit of a disaster himself ~ a registered bankrupt and a jailbird, having spent time behind bars recently as a guest of the State.

The site is bursting with a) John Gill posting under various names; b) his little handful of faithful followers posting under various names; and c) a combination of a and b here  posting sychophantic slurry, tickling the feathers of their hero ~ St. John, The Lone Ranger of County Clare.  (And don't forget folks, this bankrupt wants YOUR money "so any donations will be very welcome indeed.  Please send to Mr John Gill, Drumline, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Co. Clare.").
