David Slottje, funded by the Park Foundation, has engaged in bizarre behavior for a member of the bar obligated to uphold Rules of Professional Conduct. He does ‎Mean Girls routine aimed at ‎natural gas supporters.

Recently a lawyer from Ithaca, New York (albeit one only admitted to the NewYok Bar three years ago), submitted a story to Bill Huston’s blog where he sounded a trumpet of success for himself and his wife Helen (both are pictured below) while engaging in childish ad hominem attacks on those of us proud to be advocates of natural gas development. He sang a self-directed “song of praise” in which he portrays himself and his wife as super heroes in the fight against “Fracking NY” with ordinary folks like me. His name: David Slottje or, as he has become better known to many of us and probably in his own mind as well, “The Great Davidski.”

When you read Slottje’s latest I wonder if your impression is the same as mine? Are this the observations of an educated lawyer or the rant of a condescending spoiled teenage girl? You know; the kind in Mean Girls who said “We only carry sizes one, three and five. You could try Sears.” Slottje makes a habit of this sort of thing, it seems, adopting the caricature as his own persona. Many will recall his ugly tirade against a businessman in the Town of Lumberland, New York, who dared to challenge his suggestions to the town board and got a “lawyer up, big guy” note from the Great Davidski in return. He just can’t resist going after us commoners who shop at the kind of dollar stores he and Helen made their money running.
