Interesting indeed!!
Jim, I honestly had my suspicions that you would be sharp enough to catch onto what I was attempting. Sadly, although not unexpectedly, you did not. I made my post yesterday morning and then walked away for the day knowing full well that you, despite smoking the grassy knoll, could not stay away.
Do you honestly believe this had ANYTHING to do with Shrillomn? Do you honestly believe that I cared enough about an anonymous user that I would spend my time in discovering who it was? You're a little bit off track there Jim.
Let me explain to you what I attempted and accomplished......
In my original post on this thread I attempted to maintain a certain amount of decorum with regards to the topic at hand (which, by your own admission, was to attack Wes). I tried to bring about a little bit of clarity into the situation so that a few of the parties could realize that they were guilty of the same thing in which you were convicting Wes on. YOU, Jim Flaherty, decided that the term hypocrite was not fitting and that you were steadfast in your behavior and would not bow down to the changing winds and thereby change your own demeanor. I sought out to prove otherwise.
I know you well enough to know that when asked a leading question that you will not willingly, at least at first, give an answer. I also know you well enough to know countless people here on Fauna view you and your posts with a great deal of skepticism. And, by your very nature of not answering my question, they would assign a certain degree of guilt to you. My hope there was that you would be coherent enough to ask yourself why this is. What is it about me, Jim Flaherty, that people would assume my guilt based upon a non-answer. And Jim, the people who refrained from publically assigning guilt to you based upon their own research..... well, let's just say that you are incredibly naive if you don't realize who they assigned it to in private.
So, let me paraphrase just a few of my thoughts here:
1) Jim insists that he does not change with the wind but instead always maintains a certain level of professionalism but will respond in kind if necessary.
Answer: I ask a simple question of you and you, someone who is awfully close to being a card carrying Medicare recipient, cannot think of anything professional to say other than calling me a F*%$ing idiot. I would hope you could put those years of wisdom into something more productive.
2) You started a bandwagon gang in order to jump onto Wes for his recent behavior and thus lead the charge to not help him change his ways but to simply attack him for the fun it created for YOU (not the board).
Answer: How does it feel Jim to be the one on the receiving end? To know that there are countless people, even now despite your confession, that still doubt that you and Shrillomn are not one in the same? What does that say about who people believe you are?
You are the sole creator of your reputation here Jim and I know it's a bed that you happily lay in. You've never make any bones about that. But, Jim, as you have stated in your earlier posts here, you want to help make Fauna a better place yet somehow you still seem to have the inevitable stink surrounding you that is Jim Flaherty. At some point Jim, you have to look in the mirror and decide if you are hurting or helping Fauna. There are enough people on this board who question your very integrity that, despite how tough you want us to believe you are, it has to get to you.
So Jim, don't take your lumps, don't admit any wrong, don't initiate any self reflection, but fire back with your known rhetoric and let's see just how much damage you can do. The only question I have is this.......whose doing the damage to who? Self-inflicted is more like it....
