Bullying  (or attempts to bully) is one of the least attractive of human traits, often experienced in the playground sadly, but when seen in adults, and worse, by members of the legal profession -  is a disgrace. Today John Bolch of Family Lore reported on a story published by The Telegraph about allegations made against a barrister.  To cut a long story short, John Bolch repeatedly asked the barrister involved (who had cautioned John Bolch to remove the references to him on Family Lore) to answer a very simple question:  Is it true that allegations are being made against you as reported in The Telegraph? Mr Marc Beaumont of Windsor Chambers   did not wish to waste his time with John Bolch’s perfectly reasonable enquiry (and offer to remove the reference on Family Lore  if it transpired that The Telegraph was mistaken about allegations being made) - and threatened to add John as a party to the ‘future defamation proceedings faced by several parties’ . Enter Geeklawyer - in a beautifully constructed piece of writing… “Memo to idiot barristers: When you are in a hole stop digging…” Geeklawyer makes his views on bullying perfectly clear. Rightly.
