A good question. You don't put your lawyer to work at whatever they're charging per hour because "no one at Hyde cares what's on the board." I'm sure the Hyde people would love to to shut this site down, but unfortunately for them, the first amendment is actually in effect outside the walls of Hyde. They may not be well versed in first amendment issues, but any lawyer worth a damn will tell them that there's not a thing they do about discussions like this. Maybe there's ongoing litigation and they're trying to provoke someone who's suing them into saying something they can use against them in court. Who knows? I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Lars,
Do you really think this guy "Hyde's Attorney" is really in the field of law? He speaks more like someone who has had to repeat a couple of grades at Hyde and is probably a construction worker! I don't buy it at all because a true attorney would not represent himself as "Hyde's Attorney." I assume it is against the law in most states to represent yourself as an attorney when you are not, correct?

I wouldn't worry too much about this guy who says he is "Hyde's attorney." I seriously doubt this to be true.
I don't think any of us are interested in name calling so let's get back to what we were discussing which is the pro's and cons of Hyde. Seems that the defenders of Hyde do nothing but throw insults and make themselves look like fools. Best to ignore them unless they have something relevant to say.

To answer your question, it's illegal to PRACTICE law if you're not a licensed attorney. As for lying about it, lying itself is not illegal except under certain circumstances. For example, if you tell someone you're a lawyer in order to get them to give you money, that's fraud (A class 2 felony carrying 4 to 10 years out where I practice). Or lying in court regarding an issue material to the litgation, etc.
It may well be their lawyer. If he (or she) is, there's nothing wrong saying so. People get nervous dealing with attorneys and maybe they think it will scare some people off. Also, not all lawyers write like I do. :wink: Or, they figure it's the internet, it's not like they're trying to convince a judge to rule in their favor on a motion, so why worry if it doesn't sound smooth?
If you practice law for a few years not much will suprise you.

Larry, (Lars) is there a way to find out how many lawsuits Hyde has had against them or would only the ones that went to trial be available for public view? Would be interesting to know this as I find it hard to believe there have not been tons of suits against them with the way they operate.
