I'm sending this to my *new* nephew (married my niece). He is a court clerk

Yes, there are very good points for dealing with crazy people from that
link.
Rules 7, 9 and 10, seems to indicate that women are crazy. Uses the
terms "She and her" allot in the rules. Yea the person who wrote those
rules does have a hangup with women. But what man hasn't

I don't agree with your assertion. I think the writer is a feminist
who may or may not be a woman.

Ahhh, I see what you are saying. The writer could be female. Thanks for
pointing out my own biased flaw in thinking. You are correct!

Some are indeed crazy, a sizable percentage are irrational, *ALL* are
biologically driven pathological liars in any situation they can
mentally twist to construe as protecting their offspring.

Then why does the link state the list is from the blog of Honorable Larry
Primeaux and state the post was made by "His Honor"? I put it down to
either a man who primarily encounters females with this disorder (hopefully
in court) or careless writing.

Why do male pronouns need to be used exclusively to describe an
unknown gender in this day and age?

That wasn't the point. I agree with Wayne on this one... for public
edification it should be "he/she" not "her" or "she" or even "him" or "his".
References need to be kept completely gender neutral.

No, the poster (Francis) may or may not be a woman. The actual writer
being quoted is the Honorable Larry Primeaux, and is referred to as "His
Honor".

Oops. Went back and looked again. Francis is also a "he".

Oh good! I'm an offspring. Perhaps you are, too? Maybe we *all* are
offspring? There seems to be a logical contradiction here. Hmmmmmm.

Possibly His Honor was thinking of a specific case for each of the ten
tips, and #7, 8, and 10 were women.
