Legal Blogger is a Moron

So there is a legal blogger who thinks that attorneys should not market. That is dumb. Not marketing a business is like not selling a product. It makes no business sense. So, here are my comments to this so-called expert. (By the way, I am an attorney and will comment about what other attorneys do and say. Attorneys are easy fodder, but hey, I need material sometimes.) (Note there are some bad words, but those are mostly bleeped out with "-".)

1. Anyone who uses the word blawgosphere is a douchebawg. (If you didn’t laugh at this, stop reading here.) First, it’s a blog. If you think your f-ing blog is special because its about law, you are a pretentious SOB who thinks your s don’t stink. (Fill in the blanks people.) A blog is a blog is a blog and I don’t care if its about a legal issue, little Bobby pooping in the toilet or how to become environmentally conscious. If you think you need to differentiate your blog because you are a lawyer, you have no freaking clue about how the rest of the world views you. Second, its not a blawgosphere. Its not a blogosphere. Its not a sphere of any kind. You are a blogger. Just like me. Just like thousands of other people. And you are one of 1000s of bloggers. And no one thinks you are special. Hell, I might start a blog for my 7 year old. After all, he can put together a sentence even if it reads a bit strange lacking a verb.

2. This dumbass doesn’t understand business at all. I don’t know him. I don’t know his blog. I don’t read blogs. Sorry to disappoint you. But between work, maintaining my own blogs, which has slipped a bit, playing soccer, coaching soccer, refereeing soccer, being on the soccer board, going to taekwondo class because I want to get my black belt and having 10 rounds of sparring with some badasses , taking care of my wife, dealing with my three kids, suing my f-ing school district because some POS psychologist who has a bad die job (and hes a guy) and thinks a combover looks good thinks my doesn't need services, and trying to maintain a social life, ncluding with the guy who kisses my wife when he sees her, I don’t have time to read blogs. And the ones I want to read would be limited. Why? Because some people are funny! This guy is not!! Otherwise, I care about what this dweeb has to say about as much as I care who is starting for the Sacramento Kings – not at all. Even if I did read blogs, I wouldn’t read this crap. Dude reminds me of listening to my dad yell at MBAs on CNBC who thought they were smarter than people who run businesses. This guy thinks because he has some idea how to run a criminal defense practice in NYC, someone should care what he thinks about how the rest of us run our businesses. I have a model I follow that is completely non-legal related. It works for me because I run it like a business. I accept that it doesn’t work for most people. But don’t sit in your office with your porn star wannabe mustache and tell me that you don’t like marketing. I don’t care if you like my toilet paper – if I want your opinion, I either know it because you are a friend or I will give it to you.

3. You want to make personal attacks on my buddy? (This guy made personal attacks about a friend of mine who is involved in marketing.) Do it to his face. Don’t do it on a blog. But, I should remind him that .us is generally not an acceptable extension for law firms and makes lawyer subject to discipline, at least where I am licensed. Yet, he thinks he is smart enough to go attack someone. Really?

4. Dude is compensating for something. Maybe its his bad haircut – again. Maybe its his mustache. Maybe its his lack of size. I don’t know, but first he writes “That’s right. We bad. Kinda.” Seriously? We bad is reserved for people who are actually badasses. My taekwondo instructor, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Urijah Faber (up until last week). This guy is about as bad as untreated jock itch. That’s it. Then he says “Kinda.” Did his kid get left behind? (It’s a reference to No Child Left Behind, for those of you who miss it.) Kinda ain't a word which is why it gets the fancy red underlining when I type it in my blog. He is clearly attempting to make people think he is cool. Cool is. Cool cannot be created. I can walk into a room with 3 bodyguards in a nice suit and make it rain. That don’t mean I am cool. In fact, it just means I want to be cool. Clearly he does not get this.

This guy is another reason why people hate lawyers!
