Blawging with M’Learned Friends

In my post on Blawgers and the Inquisition I suggested that lawyers should perhaps utilise their skills in drafting written pleadings when preparing a blog post and ensure that there is little for other blawgers to attack.

If you did get it wrong then you should, of course, be gracious in defeat as you would be to your opposing counsel in the court room. Even if you are adamant that you have not got it wrong do also be gracious towards those that think you have, again as you would to your learned friend in the courtroom.

“It is nice to be important but it is more important to be nice!”
