Splitting heirs

[sacramentalist]

What is the message to adopted people when everyone clarifies Dylan Farrow was an "adopted" daughter? Are they pointing out the contrast to Soon-Yi Previn, the step-daughter the man groomed and married? Or are they minimizing his role as a goddamned parent? Well, it wasn't "rape" rape. And she wasn't his "daughter" daughter.

I was just going to ask you why you're calling out my friends, but then I realized she was your friend first :P

Is there a Latin legalese phrase for saying "He started it, your honour?"

[eyelid.livejournal.com]

no but THERE OUGHT TO BE

I just happened to have been on a latin translate page.

"Instituerat, Marko."

"Et Ego evagemur persequendo, Consilium"

Maybe, incipiēbātur

Oh well.

I would probably say "since my learned friend has raised this issue.". I realise it's not Latin, but perhaps sufficiently pompous?
