TLS Founder (Ken DeLeon) - on nationwide TV Forum

[nucky thompson]

Ken... This resource is invaluable and I personally have benefitted greatly... But again... If your purpose was to tell the TLS community success can be had outside of law with a law degree.... Why did you title the OP "TLS Founder (Ken DeLeon) - on nationwide TV"


You apologized but you act like people (basically me) misinterpreted your post... When in fact, it was the only interpretation.

"I don't mean to toot my own horn.... But BEEP BEEP"

Do you have aspergers or something? Just let it go, man. Stop reverting to the same thing. You called him out and he apologized, yet you are still on him. Give it a rest and grow up a bit.

[nucky thompson]

Haha... No I do not. It would be very easy to let it go if everyone (ken included) stopped acting the the OP is not blatant self promotion.

[kaiser]

I guess now that I've read through some of your prior postings, I realize that you are just the insufferable type that no amount of reasoning can ever actually deal with anyway. So I'm not gonna bother. I'll just sit back and amusedly watch you do your thing.

[nucky thompson]

Reason is actually very appealing to me... Which is why this thread has been so annoying

Dude... do you have issues????

At first I disagreed (but understood your point), Ken comes and says "sorry if it came off that way," and you still have issues?

You're just a miserable person (and I'd say that even if this was a random posted and not Ken)

edit: Also this is his place / invention. Do you yell at people if they wear their shoes on their carpet too?

Sorry, the analogy does not hold. Ken apologized for being misinterpreted.... Not for writing a post titled "TLS Founder (Ken DeLeon) - on nationwide TV" promoting the work he is doing/success he has had(is having)/linked to video of him being interviewed with a note "thanks for watching this..."/reposting a NYT article he posted in a thread a few days earlier...then at the end saying I ONLY WROTE THIS FOR YOU


Again... I respect ken for even replying. He does not need to apologize for anything on this website, as he is the king of the castle. But don't double down and say... It really was done for you, I was just misinterpreted!

[snailio]

I think you need to read his post a little more carefully, see that word conflated?


In any event, great job Ken if I win the house raffle up in SV I'm using you as my agent to sell that sucker!

[nucky thompson]

At first I did not read the NYT article cause I felt pushed into it.... But I'm midway through it and I read this seemingly relevant nugget....


"...(referencing the man, KDL) who is finishing up a memoir about overcoming illness, injury, and loss that he calls 'Why do bad things happen to sexy people?'"



if his memoir is about bad things happening to him, is he calling himself sexy? I am really laughing out loud imagining how self absorbed this guy seems. I hope the title of his book is referencing sexy people in general, and that he is not throwing himself in that group

[snailio]

Nucky this subliminal begging is not working, Ken isn't going to offer you a jerb.

[nucky thompson]

Did some stalking on Kens old posts... I have found out ken is a cancer survivor. While I do not think this justifies the seemingly self-absorbed posts, I think I will dial it down. it is easy to get caught up in defending my rational responses to what I see as contradiction or inconsistency.... But in the end, life is much more enjoyable when we focus on the good things... good for you ken, you're a fighter that has survived cancer and led a very successful life. You're successful (sexy) and you know it.... Wiggle wiggle wiggle



But seriously... My apologies for being so adversarial, was just intellectually stimulating. Selfish of me.

Dear TLS Community,

Thanks for the props from most. I did want to illustrate that you can be successful with a law degree even if you leave law (although I am not recommending leaving law, but other options exist) and I apologize if I came off as too promotional for others. I am proud of both my success and the TLS community and sorry if I conflated both when this was not necessary. Because the house has been beaten several times there is no need to respond.

I am very thankful that TLS has had such a positive impact for many. My goal in life is to create what I felt was missing and when I was applying to law schools there were very few books (which were costly) that contained detailed profiles of the top law schools, hence my creating the insightful profiles. But the real value the site adds is having such a collection of brilliant law students and applicants who utilize the forum to synergistically share their knowledge with others. Keep up the great work. I am cool with critique for that is how one continues to evolve.

Onward and upward,

Ken

Right on Ken. Now I do have something to add, which could carry TLS into an even more substantial space in the pre and post-legal community and market: TLS should develop it's own law school ranking system. It's the next natural progression - the empirical data is there, and it is continuosly being developed through users. This would make sense, and it's about time USNWR is replaced by something that's more in tune and connected to what really makes a top law school. I'd be happy to work on this project this summer.

Nucky: You got an 9 for righteousness but a 1 for execution. In other words: you Mtaled. I see Target in your future.

[Ken]

I personally would give Fucky a 1 in both categories, but that is just interpretation.

I do appreciate being forgiven though since I did beat cancer. I was also hit by a car going 45 mph while walking on the sidewalk with my father right after I graduated from Berkeley Law. Coming close to death several times did throw away a few inhibitions.

Yes, I do believe in the greatness of myself and that of the TLS community. Why hide that I am thankful to be alive and proud of my success and hope others achieve personal success as well. I do not fear death, I fear living a mediocre life.

To the TLS community, live fully and for yourself. Cheers,

Ken

P.S.

Using Fucky instead of Nucky was very purposeful (see next few threads). It was too good to not use.

Holy crap I am quoting this Freudian slip for posterity.

He called Nucky, Fucky.

Pretty sure. Ken comes off as pretty polished on these boards. Don't think he'd drop an F bomb.
