Tough times for bulldog lawyer Mary Frances Prevost
I also doubt you'll be reading any more testimonials from her peers. I suspect they may have been surprised to learn of the allegations of plagiarism as well as the history of criminal acts.— December 10, 2016 11:13 a.m.

Don: Do you remember the pension system posts from about seven years ago? Posts in those threads ran up to the 1,200 count range, maybe higher, if memory serves. Although I must confess between BillyBobHenry/Surfpuppy619/johnnyvegas and I we may have accounted for quite a few ourselves. Compared to those pension system threads, this one is in its infancy. And speaking of the ole pup-dog, I'm surprised he's not commented on one of his peers. He was never shy regarding the shortcomings of LEOs. But maybe their paths never crossed.— December 10, 2016 11:03 a.m.

I'm just wondering if .... Prevost may have used a previous M.O. and attempted to disguise herself here? The vociferousness of some of the blog posts, combined with the date of the poster's account creation seems suspicious, to me. Considering Prevost's documented history of stalking, compounded with the tenacity of a pit bull to latch on shake their prey, there could be more to come. Especially with the bizarre historical record. On a more positive note Don -- I suppose we won't have to worry about you chasing down your digital detractors sans clothing. Considering Colorado and Arlington, Va. share some of the same winter weather characteristics, you could catch your death of cold, even IF a bath towel is available.— December 10, 2016 5:49 a.m.

Don: It appears you have opened a literal Pandora's Box. From a simple, hardly anyone would have noticed a post about a slap-on-the-wrist suspension, to a full blown exposé. It reminds me about of something applicable from your hey days in the print media... “Never pick a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ton". In today's more modern parlance... "Never pick a fight with someone who knows how to use the Internet better than you." Thank you for the public service and getting the word out on these folks who choose to exploit others for financial gain.— December 9, 2016 12:37 p.m.

If this is it? It's like something out of the twilight zone!— December 9, 2016 10:46 a.m.

Don: I suspect you're referring to the word for word copying incident, to put it delicately. What is remarkable to me was the vicious attack in response to that incident years ago. It closely resembles the attack against you personally here, today, for your reporting of the BAR suspension. Then there is the creation of new commenter accounts by those who attacked you, apparently for that sole purpose. Strange to say the least. I'm just wondering if it's a coincidence?— December 9, 2016 9:32 a.m.

Don, did you notice that the commenters have just created their accounts within the last day or two. That they seem to write in nearly identical thought, cadence and rythmn. I'm just wondering if the IP addresses are nearly the same as well?— December 8, 2016 10:15 a.m.

Gotta agree with Mr. Bauder on this point. San Diegans would never learn of these indents of professional misconduct if it wasn't for him and the Reader. Over the years he's reported on far too many 'professionals', who, for whatever reasons, chose to, oh how should I put it, lose their ethical way. Sadly, I suspect, none of those people, including Ms. Prevost, entered their profession after spending years and treasure to enter the professsion, with the intention of doing so. But, for whatever reason something went terribly wrong. Finally sir, and with all due respect, if your strongest defense is using the argument that the bad behaviors of others, also in the profession, mitigates the actions of your peer and mentor, then, in my humble opinion sir, you really need to think it out more thoroughly.— December 8, 2016 10:07 a.m.

Ms. Provost may be a fine attorney ....but ....Where there's smoke, one usually finds fire. Since 2002 this attorney and her vocal and verbose colleagues want us to believe she had no time, whatsoever, to comply with the order to take and pass the multistate professional responsibility exam. Isn't this, in itself, professional irresponsibility? Continuing education is a requirement for maintaining your active bar membership and it's neither a secret nor a surprise to its members.— December 7, 2016 6:52 p.m.
