While having the stigma of a felony conviction is certainly not going to impress any of the woman that have posted here, I don't think this guy's main mark against him was that. Personally I find the blatant and shameless cheating to be the most offensive. Throw "catching a felony" on top of that, and you've got nobody's definition of a winner. That being said, I thank James for doing the public service of making sure no one discriminates against convicted felons without proper understanding of what exact felony they caught.
