Must read post from the infamous “Real Litigator near you, Bill E. Boie” on Ralph Losey’s Blog:

I want to thank Ralph Losey for the opportunity to respond to the tidal wave of good-intentioned drivel that appears week after week on this blog. Its been going on for two years now. I just can’t take it anymore. All this stuff keeps coming about technology, more technology, sanctions and ethical duties. It gives me the creeps. I hate someone pretending they know stuff I don’t. And the worst nonsense is the so-called Sedona Cooperation Proclamation. I’m a lawyer, and I have been litigating and fighting my way around the courthouse for more years than I’d like to remember. I know one thing for sure: conflict is what counts. Real litigators get want they want. Phooey on cooperation!
