Fun fact: it's a crime to say you're a lawyer if you aren't one.

Now you're pulling facts out of your non-lawyer pocket like it's actually (universally) true.

Which jurisdiction? Under what circumstances? Who enforces these purported rules?

I don't need to ask whether you're a lawyer, you're simply out of your depth I'm afraid.

This is not an absolute fact.

It depends entirely on the commenter's jurisdiction.

It being a crime or not should have no bearing on whether or not you should take legal advice from a self-purported lawyer on a public forum.

Is that legal advice?

Are you a lawyer?
