As I recall, things unfolded like this:

Two goons from cycle asylum plan a meetup. Meetup seemingly goes well until the guy goon tries to rape the girl goon. She fends him off, barricades herself in part of her apartment, and calls. . .her good friend Mr. Everyday carry NASA guy who immediately shows up and throws goon rapist into the street.

This story, naturally, makes its way back to the forum. When asked to explain himself, the goon rapist claims that the entire situation was a "misunderstanding between young people." This astounding claim makes its way to Fragmaster, who after reviewing the evidence bans both the perpetrator and the victim, as both are patently guilty of importing offsite drama, which is a chain of reasoning that leads people to publicly doubt Fragmaster's competence as admin which in turn leads to Fragmaster stepping down.

I think there was a FYAD thread about it. Am probably wrong. It has been years.

I hope every single item he had proved integral to kicking out the rapist. And it was on short notice. So thank God he had it all with him.

In 2013, Geoffrey Sant in Salon described it as the "Worst Joke in Legal History", claiming the title over seven other contenders including Don West's knock-knock joke during the trial of George Zimmerman.[33] Sant refers to the joke's deployment, in the high-profile context of Roe, as "spoiled icing on the collapsed cake",[34] and cites one law blogger who refers to it as the worst joke of all time outright.[35] Sant's characterization has since been repeated in a New York Times obituary of Weddington;[36] in The Independent,[37] SCOTUSblog,[38] The Washington Post,[39] and the blog of the National Constitution Center;[5] and by Becca Andrews in the book No Choice.[40] Janet S. Kole in the ABA Journal differs somewhat, holding that the worst legal joke is another of Sant's picks, a Supreme Court litigator who in Glickman v. Wileman Brothers & Elliott, Inc. told Justice Scalia "you don't want to give your wife diarrhea" by buying green plums.[41]

The all-time champion of inappropriate courtroom humor appears to a former judge in Maryland, Bruce Lamdin, who behaved like a meaner version of Michael Scott, the boss from The Office. Lamdin was suspended thirty days without pay in 2008 for rude jokes, including telling motorists from Pennsylvania, “What’s the big rush to get back to Pennsylvania? It’s an ugly state.” When a landlord testified that her tenant’s child had called her a bitch, the judge retorted, “I’m sure that wasn’t the first time someone called you a bitch.” Responding to a mother with a crying baby, he declared: “If she only knew how much I hate kids, she would not have brought that kid in here today.” Riffing on his child-hatred theme, Lamdin then mused to his courtroom that “we [already] confiscate cell phones and we put the cell phones in plastic bags and send them down to Annapolis. I suggested maybe we ought to do the same with children except poke holes in the bag. . . . We ordered some plastic bags about five feet tall but they haven’t been – they haven’t come in yet.”

When a man with the last name Crook pled guilty to driving without a license and possessing drug paraphernalia, the judge demanded, “Why did you drive so poorly? Smoke a little weed before you got behind the wheel? . . . Smoke a little crack before you got behind the wheel? . . . Well, you’ve got the appropriate last name… All right crack head, Crook.” In a court hearing on prostitution, Lamdin performed an imitation of ghetto-talk. (The transcript reads much like when The Office’s Michael Scott got in trouble for reenacting a racially-charged Chris Rock routine.) “Who put up your bond money for you, your pimp? . . . If I were to release you, you’d be scratching that itch tonight. . . . Ma’am, you can’t bullshit a bullshitter.”

Although the Maryland Commission on Judicial Disabilities suspended Judge Lamdin for inappropriate language, one gets the sense that the Commission was especially offended by jokes directed at them. The opinion quotes Lamdin criticizing the Circuit Court, “I mean, they don’t work in the afternoon up there. . . . They’re all on their way to have cocktails or something up there at the Circuit Court. Yeah, they don’t work in the afternoon. Who are they kidding?”

The Commission also criticizes him for accusing prison guards of corruption and courts of indifference: “You may be able to get some crack down there. . . . Those guards there provide services for services. . . . They don’t care about prostitution in Baltimore City. They’ll move her into one of the diversion courts, spank her, and send her on her way. . . . They treat prostitution like spitting on the sidewalk. . . and you’re guaranteed to have it dismissed when you go up to the Circuit Court.” The Commission declared: “Criticism of judicial colleagues, particularly from the bench in the courtroom, hardly leads to trust and confidence by the public in the Judiciary.” Lamdin would later retire after audio emerged of him degrading a victim of domestic violence.
