In response, Jeffco filed a motion stating he conducted an internet search of the F- word and found 663 million uses "within ten seconds" and results running the "gamut from nouns, adjectives to strong emphatic." No ordinary person would have been provoked into violence under the circumstances, Jeffco reported, adding, "Ryan Russman is not an ordinary person in that an ordinary person would not have placed his nose in other people’s business without expecting that behavior to provoke a response."As Mr. Lileks noted, about the only response when a random guy walks up while you're taking political trash (evidencing trespass and probably vandalism of your property) off your lawn and orders you to stop is "who the F are you?"

And This Proves My Mom's Point-

It needs to be used where it will have good effect; the main problem we have with the overuse of the f-bomb is that its power is greatly reduced. (example: by the end of a Jay and Silent Bob flick, you'd be shocked at a phrase from Jay that isn't Fbomb laced)
Now, that said, this is a great response:

Does Mr.-I'm-Four-People have a Southfield, Michigan IP address, by any chance?
Anyway. All I can say about the story is: since when does a property owner not have the right to remove signs that were placed on his property without his permission?
I notice no component of that (whether he owned the property, whether the signs were placed with or without permission, etc.) seems to be in question in the case.
I object strongly to the F-word, but I'm of your mother's opinion about occasional use. And I'm of Mr. Lileks' opinion about using it in that particular case.
Nah, I think it was from the coast part of the east coast-- it's been a while-- but his type are spread liberally across the internet. ^.^ Check at Truth Before Dishonor http://truthbeforedishonor.blogspot.com/2009/02/liberals-are-racists.html he saw the same thing.....
I think the lawyer thought he could get the landowner to back down by threating legal action, and got a big, well, F-U *again* in response.
Hope he counter-sues the lawyer's socks off....
