OK, I give up

I've explained my motivations, I've provided evidence to support my explanations and yet to some, I am still some sort of homicidal lunatic. There's no telling someone who has their fingers in their ears, no convincing someone who has made up their mind.

The fact that Old Holborn used to have a link on his own blog to the exact same place that he now uses to assert that I'm trying to kill him and murder his family has entirely passed the world by.

The fact that every point I've raised about who put up stuff about his identity and who posted up photos of his kids has been met with mindless hostility but no reason or coherence has worn me out. So I'm going to give up trying.

Feel free to continue slagging me off in the comments.

If you need any incentive to do so, let me hasten to point out that Old Holborn has already publicly reneged on his statement that he would be deleting his blog, before the five days was even up. If you were genuinely worried that your blog might be getting you into shit, wouldn't the obvious thing be to delete it, quickly and quietly? Maybe go round the internet trying to remove as many provocative or dangerous comments as possible? Despite the ostensible reason for the deletion of his blog (to protect his family) he is OK to leave it completely intact, with all the stuff that Mossad was going to use as justification for rubbing him out, and his family are now somehow not at risk because he's handed the blog over to someone else. None of it is stopping him from posting all over the blogosphere, despite describing himself and his family as targets.

I choose to ascribe this to his incredible ego, which would not allow him to let the "16th most influential blog in the blogosphere" (as he keeps on fucking telling us everywhere) to die.

Instead, he gets to keep a blog, with his name on it, with a better writer, without any effort. If it goes well, he has the ego-stroke of seeing his name at the top of the blogosphere with a minimum of effort, if it goes badly, he has the ego-stroke of saying "I handed this guy a fortune on a plate and he blew it without my masterful hand to guide him." It's hardly a lose-lose situation for any overwrought drama queen.

I have a fiver here that says that Old Holborn will be back on his blog, doing "guest posts" before the end of the year, especially if the blog does well.

I also have a fiver that says that there will be another dramatic blowout, either in the blogosphere or at one of the many fora Old Holborn frequents, or wherever he is abandoning the blogosphere for, before the end of the year.

The one thing you might choose to reflect on, before you get out your wallet, is that I've been in this movie for four years now.

I just wonder if the abuse I've received and will doubtlessly continue to receive will be matched by equally fulsome apologies when I'm proven correct. I shan't hold my breath.

I'm fairly certain, based on extensive personal experience, that I won't be getting one from Old Holborn.

Handbags at dawn

Oh dear, I seem to have created a minor firestorm in the blogosphere. For the record:

If anybody could be arsed to actually READ the whole thread to which I posted the link, I'm sure they'll find I had NOTHING to do with identifying the other blogger, I just happened to be there at the time, along with about 50 other forum members.

My post had nothing to do with his opinion and everything to do with showing proof of him being an overwrought drama queen.

All this flummery about me "coming after" his family or having "twisted reasons" is utter cock. I have "done" nothing before and I have "done" nothing "again".

If you had no knowledge of the person in question, no preconceived notions about either myself or the other blogger, you'd think I was dealing with a bit of an overwrought drama queen. Well, I certainly would.

And people have blindly swallowed his reasoning as to why I made the post. Well, I suppose he should be pleased with the credibility he has. He has certainly managed to hype this to buggery, which will do his stats no end of good.

I would merely make the observation that I simply grabbed a link to the largest of his many "shitbins" and posted that. You can choose to believe that or not. You'll notice that it wasn't me who banged on about his details being available in that thread. All I said was "he has form for being an overwrought drama queen, here's proof."

If you need more proof that he's an overwrought drama queen, how about "coming after" his family for "twisted reasons"? He's certainly pushing that meme. Apparently, if any of his kids stubs a toe from now on, that will be my fault and he'll be "coming for me."

Also, this apparently constitutes a direct official LPUK attack (with full approval from the inner circle) on a former member for having a contrary opinion, rather than a humorous side-swipe by a rank-and-file member at an overwrought drama queen.

It's all a vicious conspiracy to get one of the blogosphere's leading lights extinguished. And his family. And his pet fish. (I don't know if he has one, I'm just guessing.)

Woo. No wonder my missus won't take this blogging shit seriously.

Cunt of the nanosecond

I fully support Jenna Delich's right to express her opinions, however odious they may be. However, she has no right to use legalistic bullying to shut down Harry's Place, even though they're a bunch of wankers that I never read.

So, Jenna, accept that the intermong is full of people who might disagree with you, and take that criticism with good grace.

Cunt.

Gearing up for the cat fight...

My money's on Trixy.
