Re: Re: little lawyer . . .
Oh look! JL and lawyer101 are related. They both have the same middle name - Tediously Didactic.

Thank you for trying to appeal to my intellectual side. I am glad that you have taken an interest in lawyer101..
I must point out that based on what you are trying to say, the term “obsequious” was used incorrectly. The word in itself refers to “attempting to win favor from influential people by flattery”. Unfortunately, JL would not be an influential person to me. A proper sentence Containing the word “obsequious” is as follows: His servants weeping, “Obsequious” to his orders, bear him hither. Obsequious refers to flattery to someone of power, such as a boss. JL does not meet this criteria,so the word was used incorrectly.
Th term “fawn” gets your point across correctly. This refers to: “seeking favor or attention by flattery. An example of this is what a dog does by wagging its tail, whining, or cringing to get
attention from his master. This does not refer to influential people, but to people in your everyday life.
Your message should have read as follows: “ I loathe those that engage in the act of fawning”.
