Phew, It took me several hours to read this thread. Shocking...devastating...and exhilarating. Not sure what to think after all that. Wow.

Legal Executives go through a looser series of classroom and work experience training and must train for 5 years under a licensed solicitor.

For the record, I have spoken with John and Daniel Alicea via telephone. I do not feel that there was anything but proper dialogue and discussion. None of us yelled, threatened, or pitched fits. The Internet is the worst form of communication IMHO. So, I am not sure if tentativeness to actually dialog with a person, via phone, is about trust, petulance, or pedagogy (whatever you would like to label it). Again, I realize the persona of forums but I in no way intend explain, and explain for days to each person who wishes to play Freud with posts. If you feel so strong about the matter and wish to speak with me, correct me about the issue or something I've said you can PM me and I will either call you or give you my number.

Has Kal lived that long in England after seemingly living in Ohio then Michigan? Unless he trained under a solicitor here in the States?

I don't know ... maybe someone can fill in the gaps.

Pel, I responded to your post about Dr. Ferguson.

Yes ... and enjoyed our conversation ...

Some truth in the highlighted .... a lot is lost in electronic dialog.

Technically, your telephone conversation was also a dialog that is "electronic" in nature... never mind.

That was funny though....it is in the ebb and flow of this thread for sure.

I think a lot of this discussion was blown out of proportion. Emotions were running high, and I'm sure that JN said a few things that he wishes he could take back. However, I think he handled himself pretty well and did not hurt his reputation too badly. The same can not be said for other parties involved, but I won't name names.
