Pettifogger

Prone to debating every insignificant dot, mark and comma, Energetic, talkative demagogue on every subject and dogma, Trapped by a belief that you have the last word on everything, Truth truly escapes you now in your fanatical pursuit of a win. In your desire to appear knowledgeable in every legal matter, Freely you cite precedents not relevant to the circumstances. On things that really count you have none to give except your Gargantuan shyster ego that recognizes no limit in its excess. Go then to the canyons and there debate with your own voice - Empowering it, fueling it, then stoking its fire - until it finally Reverberates across space before coming right back at you.
