Tom Kilroy blogged recently about how lawyers working on the train may be committing serious breaches of confidentiality. For the his pains, he has been called, on the RollonFriday discussion board and elsewhere, “a prig”, “an utter nob”, “a pompous arse”, and “a keeno teedfest” (this last from a partner at the prestigious firm of ‘Beiber and Bieber’, apparently).
Now, I’m completely with Tom on this, if only because the constant tippy-tapping of laptop keyboards and self-important BlackBerry yapping irritates me almost to the point of homicide. But it is clear that a more nuanced approach is required to head off accusations of over-reaction and priggishness.
