**OBSERVATIONS ABOUT JMAN THAT ARE PROBABLY INDICATIVE OF NOTHING EXPECT MY TENDENCY TO OVERANALYZE**

You know, I've been stopping here on and off just to peek in on what's going on with people; see how some of you are doing and all that sort of thing. Of course, I've read any number of complaints about J, and how this teapot tempest he's managed to create is an indication of monumental greed, all part of some grand (Machiavellian in it's complexity!) plan to fleece the very people who generate the content on what would otherwise be a tumble weed shewn (that's Russian Thistle you know!) dust bowl of a site.

You are all giving him way, waaayyyyy too much credit.

This man is not some master of puppets who came up with some intricate scheme to line his pockets at the expense of all of the marionettes he's been able to manipulate.

He's just some dumb guy.

It's really that simple people.

He's a person who:

a) Lacks the personal charm that would allow many to ignore his indiscretions (i.e. Admitting to reading people's PMs; Being insecure enough to let the people, some of whom have shown nothing but outright contempt for him in the past, get away with some of the very things that others he has no interest in courting can't (Speaking of that, do any of you have the first clue about how much of what goes on on that site is directly related to how much J *needs* for certain people to like him? As I wrote to someone earlier, J is, no shit, *EXACTLY* like that pubescent girl who everyone knew gave blow jobs to all the popular boys in school in a desperate attempt to get them to like her. Of course, the reason you knew about her was because, since the boys found it impossible to respect her, they let everyone know the deal. Laughed like hyenas everytime they repeated the story. Still, being too dim to figure out any other way to get what she thought she wanted, on her knees she'd still go in spite of it all).

b) Is devoid of the level of intelligence that would enable him to be successful enough in business so that he wouldn't have to constantly struggle. Beyond that, he doesn't even posses a reptilian cunning (admittedly a much blunter instrument than intelligence, but equally effective in the right hands when it comes to business matters) as a compensating ability

J is just stupid people. There really isn't much more than that to it. Attributing degrees of intelligence or cunning to him that he simply isn't capable of overestimates him greatly, and makes you seem needlessly paranoid regarding this simp.

On another note, I think it's very telling that even some of the people who he's delegated responsibility to (MODs, ect) clearly don't automatically perceive him as someone you can take at his word.

I know a bit about a certain situation where, without getting all into it, it was believed that J broke faith and certain promises to a few people. Now, whether he did or not isn't really the point; the point is, none of them indicated that they didn't believe that J had... I guess the only word that fits is *betrayed* them. No one stood up and said that there must be a mistake, and they'd wait for J to confirm that, yes, there was mix up.

You understand? He's viewed among those he's chosen as someone who will break promises and who's word is worth nothing when it comes down too it.

He does not engender trust among his own rank and file.

It seems to me that INs current woes are the least of his problems, as he gives every indication of being a truly pitiable and substandard example of a human being.

Even if, but some Gumpian stroke of luck it turns around business-wise for him, and that turnaround translates into great fortune, you still couldn't pay me enough to be him.

ugghhh... awful man.

I I mostly came to way at Troy and Mimi.

As for being a windbag, I've always been, but it seems that, ironically enough, people were much more tolerant of this over at IN.

Ah well, when you all are done farting and spitting and whatnot, please tell Mimi and Troy that Katrina said "Hi".

DON'T FORGET THE LUBE BEEOTCH....RAWREERRRR....

You must stop in the forums here more. I really enjoy your take on things. Never in a million years would I be smart enough to engage in a debate with you, but I really enjoy reading your posts.

I still think somebody talked him into a partnership in an attempt to charge for exclusivity and then push stupid bulletins and content and events like the pit bull dance thing, etc. The fact that he's dumb enough to think it would go over instead of in effect shut the place down, is all I need to know to interpret the intelligence levels he's capable of.

WHAT'S THIS GOTTA POOP...
WOOT...MILLERRRRRR...

HI K ! You must stay - we are getting a swanky new site

I don't care why jae did what he did now - or has done what he's done in the past. I'm sure he's just looking at it all as a way to make money - it annoys me that he acts like he cares so much about our "community" when he clearly is only concerned about the money and his most recent decision was dumb - but whatever it ROCKS here

i think jae, like most of us, overestimates his value to others.....

the point of fact is that most people think that others need them more than they do...

another point of fact is that i am unwilling to pay for the privilege of creating content on a site that only gets content from its members. jae cannot guarantee that tomorrow there will be new shit on that site, or the next day, or the next day, because it is the community that posts pics and makes forum topics and responses and groups etc.....

word up.
