Demonstrably funny, Ragu. Nice work.

Not one single link that says you were an alumni of the law journal. The alumni link conveniently says a list will be posted someday.

Even that short reply indicates that far too much thought was given to this subject.

John, it's a good thing that you go away for awhile.

Sorry, I forgot to clear what I should post on with you. I'll try not to make that mistake again.

Mortally wounded by overwhelming flak, JDV hits the silk.

BWUHAHAHAHAHAHA! Very nice.

Also, anyone else find the line "I can't say when I will or won't post here again" rather amusing? I mean, how much of a genius does it take to figure out exactly when you WON'T post again?

Yes,

Just as I thought. I triple checked this & everything is absolutely correct as stated on my CV everywhere it is posted.

I was a member of the Berkeley Technology Law Journal. My contribution was that of a normal member of the BTLJ.

Here is the relevant link.

http://www.btlj.boalt.org/members/join.php

Thus again, everything checks out for me and my critics are wrong again. I try to be absolutely accurate at all times and I think most would agree that regardless of how you feel about me I have definitely proven the vast majority of my resume under tremendous fire & it holds up. It is all true, it is all real (to the very best of my knowledge). I am the real deal.

I am proud of what I have accomplished in my life at a fairly young age coming from very little & I think in an time where many deliberately fabricate major sections of their resumes that I should have earned some respect for what I have done. Yet, what others think I cannot control. All I can say is I am proud of who I see in the mirror every day & I know my family & friends are also proud of me as well (thanks guys!).

The entire point of my website (as others asked/told me to put one up) was to organize & keep track of all the different things I have done as I have done so many different things. It is still a work in progress, but this first pass took an ENORMOUS amount of work as I wanted to be as detailed as possible with as many citations as possible since I knew most people would never believe that either I or my accomplishments are real. The funny thing is I am about as real and chill a dude as you can find (from what I am told).

For me, it isn't about being popular it is about making a difference, doing great work & earning respect. As an SJ board when you talk to great athletes/competitors most will tell you the same thing. That is what drives us.

Finally, if I was a bit strident in my defense of my credentials, rights (etc.) this weekend then I apologize to the board and all affected. As an elite athlete in strength & combat sports and a lawyer for better or worse I don't take many steps back under serious fire & win most battles which serves me well in competition, etc., but has its own drawbacks.

That being said I always endeavor to be as friendly, gracious, optimistic, and helpful as possible. I like most people and love to help others and have fun/entertain as often as possible. I don't wish anyone ill - I wish them the best, even my enemies (as their success or failure does not help/hurt me in any way for the most part & why not help people as it is the Christian/right thing to do). So, even if I am forced to battle someone it rarely lingers with me & I don't hold a grudge. I simply am defending myself, want to do my thing (have fun & kick as@) & achieve my goals.

So, the key is to use all of the tools in the tool kit to react in the best way with the best measure to each situation. I always try to improve myself & each day is an opportunity to do so.

That is all I wanted to say to be sure we are all clear on a point of dispute on my credentials (by folks unfamiliar with me or Boalt & had no first-hand knowledge of the facts (similar to how I can't speak to how other law schools operate)) that needed to be cleared up.

I will get back to work now. I can't say when I will or won't post here again. Like I said yesterday I am taking a break from SJ, but I needed to address the important points above & wanted it to come from me directly & not Rok.

Thank you,

John D. Villarreal

It's funny.

Even in defeat, as he runs away with his tail between his legs, JD(ouchebag)V still loves himself. Demonstrably.

And that would work surprisingly well on this thread!

While it's worth noting that nothing on that page proves John was a part of the BTLJ, it does indicate a certain difference in organization than Pope outlined for us in his experience with law journals.

I draw no conclusions from this either way, but felt it was worth observing that Pope's experience does not negate a different experience with law journals.

Regards, all.

That was a funny, albeit strangely grumpy, retort on Shot's part.
