Who cares, this is the kind of stuff humans do when they are in an emotional bad place. He sounds a great lawyer to me:<br /><br />Ed Gentle was born in Birmingham, Alabama, February 17, 1953. He graduated summa cum laude in 1975 from Auburn University where he was a Danforth Scholar and earned a Bachelor of Science degree. In 1977, he received a Master of Science (summa cum laude) from the University of Miami as a Maytag Fellow where he became familiar with the law of the sea and international resource planning issues involving competing nations.<br /><br />He was a Rhodes Scholar (Auburn’s second and Miami’s first) at Oxford University where he earned a B.A. degree with honors in Jurisprudence in 1979. He received a M.A. degree from Oxford in 1980. He then attended the University of Alabama School Of Law as a Hugo Black Scholar. He earned his J.D. and was admitted to the Alabama State Bar in 1981.<br /><br />Mr. Gentle has comprehensive experience in serving as Special Master and Claims Administrator in Mass Tort Litigation, and providing claims administration and financial and business advice to Courts, Settling Parties, and Mass Tort Settlements. He has helped create and administer over $2 Billion in Settlements during the past 20 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-46800030822044003202016-03-11T09:54:44.099-06:002016-03-11T09:54:44.099-06:00Data indicates that Mr. Gentle was separated when ...Data indicates that Mr. Gentle was separated when he was a member of the website in question.

These are lawyers, how do I know that the lawyer that represents me is involved in an affair, married or not, could possibly affect my business relationship? Blackmail? What about doctors?

I said Gentle was among the site's affair seekers. If you read the site's motto--"Life is short, have an affair"--the site's whole purpose is to facilitate and promote affairs. There is no other reason for going there. <br /><br />You're take would be like saying, "Yes, I visited the ESPN baseball scores page, but I wasn't looking for baseball scores." <br /><br />My reporting on Mr. Gentle is factual--he didn't deny it's factual.

Having good and/or bad judgement is important if you are in a position of trust. Generally speaking exercising bad judgement in your personal life means it spills over into your business/public life. That is the problem. Most of those who "played" on A.M. exercised "bad judgement" and not all of them were able to keep that bad judgement from spilling over into business. <br /><br />There is also a big difference from having a discreit affair and going on line on a public website trolling for sex.
