To misquote me, elaborate on that misquotation, and then argue your elaborated version of your misquotation does not challenge any points I addressed. I haven't time to break each quote apart, but I will respond to them in order.

I wrote "I'm not just the 'thoughtless self-centered dangerous person' you would like to make me out to be." I stand by that.

Calling me a thoughtless, dangerous and self-centered person is a reflection on character. A "person" is not an action. Thoughtless and dangerous are adjectives, just like the new insults you decided to add for good measure.

You indicate an interest in my opinion with every question you ask me.

The severity of my action does not excuse your malicious behaviour.

You could easily transpose the words "choice" and "decision" and not alter the context of your paragraph. Nowhere in my post do I trivialize drunk driving to picking out shoes or anything of the like.

As a side note, I will point out that you refer to me as a thoughtless person who deliberately chose to drink and drive. First of all, that is a contradiction. Either I deliberately chose to drink and drive, or I thoughtlessly did so, but it can't be both. Further I will tell you that the latter is true. I am not always a thoughtless person. I am usually very thoughtful and considerate, but that day, I was thoughtless. I did not deliberate and then decide to drink and drive. I became drunk and then thoughtlessly drove. I had no intention of driving prior to drinking. Now before you start another rant, I am not suggesting that should excuse me from my DUI charges. I did endanger others and do not feel exempt from accepting responsibility for that, but I did not willfully and deliberately do so. I stupidly decided or chose to drink, which impaired my decision-making abilities, and then chose to drive while unable to think properly. I am still held liable for this, but I did not do it out of ill-will or intentional disregard for others.

My original quote was "ostracize from society," not from the world. Ostracism: 1 : a method of temporary banishment by popular vote without trial or special accusation practiced in ancient Greece 2 : exclusion by general consent from common privileges or social acceptance. Historically, ostracism refers to the ancient Greek practice of exiling people from Athens. It is not a branding or a scarlet letter. With that clarification, I expect you can see why your wishing me financial ruin, eviction and jail can exactly be referred to as ostracism.

At no time did I insert any words or connotations into your postings. I quoted you verbatim. I've never mentioned the words "scorn" or "ridicule," and yet now you're accusing me of inserting that into your posting.

I never stated that my being ordered an SR-22 was in attempt to hurt my feelings. I pitted your two statements against each other: One in which you rub in that you would get satisfaction from it and another in which you claim trying to make me feel bad wouldn't affect you in the least. Incidentally, "feeling bad" was another misquotation on your part. I never used any phrase about feeling bad or hurting my feelings in my posts. I do find it funny that you chose to further argue this. All I did was directly copy and paste two of your contradictory posts. I contributed nothing to be argued. You're posts simply don't support one another. In short, you wrote an angry post filled with insult and malice. I called you out on it. You then denied it, and now I'm pointing out what you did say.

The courts have payment plans and community service programs. This is what I have asked about. I have never once made reference to the courts being a finance company. There is no reason for you to inform me that being ordered community service is not the courts financing me. I never stated it was. That was your term for it, not mine.

Bottom Line: I was trying to find out information so that I can pay my financial responsibilities. I never claimed anyone was obligated to inform me, but I hoped that someone with insight or experience may share helpful advice. The idea that I should be granted any kind of dispensation was yours and yours alone. If that idea is immature and offensive, then you've immaturely offended yourself. I never asked for dismissal or how to get off easy. I sought information or advice so that I can pay.

Hidden Stairwell Line: The above is all really rather insignificant, petty argument. I try to keep mine as a fact-based as possible, while you run on tangents with your emotions and misinterpretations. That is why your arguments are fallacious and easily invalidated. This does not, however, take away from the sincerity of the message you are trying to convey.

Secret Underground Basement Line: I will admit, I have pointed out that your arguments are unsound to get your goat, and it worked. You sure are angry. I did it out of spite, because you have been spiteful to me. Truthfully, I can tell you're a good person and don't really feel the need to argue with you. Overall in life, you and I are on the same side--the good side--whether you'd like to admit that or not. There is only one significant problem that I have with you: I came onto this forum confessing the worst thing that I did, for which I do feel remorse and regret, seek to repay in justice and am learning from. You seem to create every opportunity for yourself to use that horrible mistake against me, cutting me down with insult after insult and often contrasting your esteemed self to "people like me." I don't care what happened to you or how much you preach your belief in your God. You repeatedly intentionally hurl insults at other human beings. Yes, I did something awful, the consequences of which are far worse than anything I can accuse you of based on what I know from you from this forum. However, that doesn't excuse the way you treat people. I think you know deep down how much your behaviour goes against the belief in a loving God. If you were truly a person of grace, you would not address people this way. You would not treat others as inferiors, but as fellow humans who may have erred but still deserve love, respect and hope. You would not use their mistakes against them as an excuse to insult them and call them names. That is just not the way of anyone truly seeking the path of a loving God.

Now you can stick to your anger, write me off as unqualified to comment because I got a DUI and continue inflating your own ego with your insolent argumentation or you can admit to yourself that despite my many shortcomings, I may have some insight to offer. Either way makes no difference to me. The only ones you can't lie to are yourself and your God. Cheers, mate.
