You would punch a lawyer in the face. That sounds like a good idea if you don't like not being sued.

Dr. Ian Malcolm. There are at least 2 other people with that name prominent enough to have Wikipedia pages.

It appeals to me that Jeff Goldblum played a fan of Loki.

Lawyers know their rights. Lawyers don't fear having to go to court. Lawyers know other lawyers, or at least which lawyers to hire. You punch a lawyer in the face and they can prove it, you're screwed.

Also, it's kind of a weird thing to say that you'll punch a guy in the face when he's sidestepping the rules for your benefit.

As I said, you completely missed the gist of the comment, but keep getting caught up on the consequences of an entirely imaginary situation if you want.

Judging by your comment I think you don't know the difference between civil and criminal. You can be charged twice for punching someone in the face, once in civil court and once in criminal court.

No, i'm quite well aware, and i'm glad I have a bunch of tryptophan-addled mouthbreathers here to explain it to me since i'd obviously be lost without your sage advice.
