    Good Lord. I spent the first 12 years of my life where he lives -- Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

    Glad I escaped!

    Thanks, Boom. I had forgotten about that. You're correct, too -- seems like he knew more than most about it.

    Ah, Creamora, 21's favorite.

    To be fair, plenty of people figured out who Creamora really was and none of us doubted he had access to information. We just thought he wasn't being honest when he posted here. Access to information is useless if the guy is going to lie constantly.

    Yea but it was a unique opportunity for SJ to converse with an insider on the whole affair and instead of just accepting the good with the bad
    you did you best to run them off.

    Doing my best to run him off = failing to kiss his ass and accept his lies as gospel.

    Do you say thank you when somebody pisses in your ear and tells you it's the rain? I don't and you shouldn't.

    It's a MESSAGE BOARD.

    Nobody has pissed in anyone's ear.

    They are WORDS. ... You are capable of choosing who it is worth responding to, and more importantly HOW you respond to them. You can just as easily choose who you think it's not worth responding to.

    It's a figure of speech. Please try to actually understand the post you are responding to before you respond. It will really help everybody.

    I'll be happy to dumb it down for you if you like. creamora was spreading his version of things, much of which was not true. He was trying to pass off his opinion and his rhetoric as if it was inside information. Trying to pass something bad off as something good, or at least something harmless, is exactly what the expression "Pissing in your ear and telling you it is raining" means. He didn't like being told that he was full of shit, so he ran off. If anything, you should direct what you wrote to me to him. He's the one who ran away from WORDS ON A MESSAGE BOARD.

    (See? I can shout in all caps, too.)

    And now Boom wants to drag it up years later and attack posters who are still a part of the board for it. Instead of worrying about his instigating, you are coming after me. Given that it's you, that does not surprise me one bit.

    I don't give a damn who he was or what access he had, mostly because he couldn't be trusted to speak the truth. I have as much right to say what I want to say as he had to say what he wanted. So did the others who saw through his bullshit. He couldn't handle that. That was his failure, not ours.

    Jesus. I wasn't "coming after" anyone. I was responding to something you had just posted.

    You posted that the guy figuratively pissed in your ear.

    My response was that a it's a message board--if you really view any exchange on a message board that way, I think you need to get a grip.

    Your post in response suggests you think I pissed in your ear, too.

    I never meant to cause you any sorrow.
    I never meant to cause you any pain.
    I only wanted to one time see you laughing.
    I only wanted to see you laughing in the yellow rain.

    Yellow rain, yellow rain.
    Yellow rain, yellow rain.
    Yellow rain, yellow rain.

    I only wanted to see you bathing in the yellow rain.
