[Vision2020] A Lack of Empathy

[g. crabtree]

What I find unreasonable is using students as cats paws to put pressure on 
an individual community member who is in the process of bringing about a 
perfectly legitimate legal proceeding. As to the second part of your post, 
I'm fairly sure that I have never expressed any distain for "legalism's" 
niggling or otherwise. Looks to me like, once again, your trying to make an 
argument where none exists.
