Well you correctly point out I'm being purposely trollish. However, 0Ls aren't going to go looking for advice about their dumb beliefs.

I could either duke it out with some retard who says that 40 hours isn't all that different from 60, or I could start a thread to rub 0L's nose in their stupid opinions.

I am being purposefully insulting but the audience needs it
DF: TLS Law School Boot Camp Drill Sergeant

He's doing it for your own good.

ETA: Personally, I find DF threads amusing, and somebody should right a spell-check app that autocorrects to DF form.
I just find it impossible to believe that people are really concerned I'm clogging up TLS when 98% of TLS posts are people either ritualistically bragging about their admissions, or pure unadulterated neurosis and fear like "I've got a 4.5 from NYU amma I gonna strike out"

agreed. but +20,000 posts... oh lawd
At least he's transparent. Most of us post several times a day under various sock puppets. You do realize that there are only, like, seven or eight unique posters on TLS, right?

If you want thoughtful, welcoming, and not snarky, then don't walk but run away from the legal profession. At least DF is funny, which is more than you'll be able to say for the thoughtless, unwelcoming, snarky assholes you'll have to deal with in legal practice.

As for post-counts: legal practice alternates between tenuous downtime, and bouts of abject terror. Some people watch ESPN 360 online, others shop on Gilt, and some megapost. What the hell else are you going to do when you have to be in the office ("because facetime") but don't have actual work in front of you?
