I feel very sorry for this guy. He's likely seriously harmed or maybe ruined his career as a lawyer. Acting out of emotion and hubris is a terrible mistake, but understandable, like a Greek tragedy; a cautionary tale for anyone who's ever felt hurt or anger. I hope somehow he recognises where he went wrong, and chooses differently in future.

That said, if he forced people to incur those costs, of course it's just that he recompense them. I think if he does so, calmly and sincerely, he may yet redeem himself.




I wish him well for finding balance, though I wonder if someone like himself can shut up long enough. I mean, he initially thought he was ~helping~ his career with all the attention.
