Oh, boy, now it's my turn for people to pretend to be me! I guess we're both Internet celebs, Joe!

Greg Kirkman says "Anyone who knows JB, or who has spent any time on his board enjoying his company - and, yes, repecting his rules - can see this as an obvious lie. He would never yell at anyone in front of the public"

Well, I've spent a fair amount of time lurking on his forum (can't join without a school or work email, don't you know), and he frequently curses and otherwise insults members based on their tastes and opinions. Not even as the result of a prolonged and heated argument, but out of the blue. He just called someone "an ass" for suggesting that all parties should forget about an event so long in the past, for instance. Maybe "yelling" and "in front of the public" aren't the technically correct terms to apply to those situations, but I think it establishes him as a bit of a bully prone to outbursts.

Apparently, John Byrne himself disagrees:

John Byrne wrote on his forum: "I exploded. I threw a fit -- but nothing else. I demanded to know what the %#$@ he was doing sabotaging a story I had been working on for more than a year."

I'd say we'll be getting a troll invasion any time, now...

How empty are these people if they'll stoop to imitating others and spreading falsehoods in order to bolster their agendas and arguments?

I have not posted at the David site, and, given the behavior of the people posting there now, I will not in the future, either. Rest assured, any comments of "mine" you see there are not genuine.

I don't know if I am one of the "trolls" to whom you are referring, but, yeah, I am a frequent poster in Peter's blog. And I actually like him. If in the minds of anyone here that makes me the "enemy," so be it.

Anyway, I also responded to the person pretending to be you. I'll say to them here what I already said to them in Peter's blog: 

Stop. It.

Get. A. Life.

You're not making yourself look cool. You're betraying the fact that you live in Momma's basement and can't get a date to save your life.

Don't like Byrne or the people who post in his forum? Walk away, go focus on something productive. Or go crawl under a rock forever. I don't care which.

That sounds about right, Bill.

With all the trash-talking and Bad Byrne Stories, it's really no wonder this forum requires verified e-mail and such in order for newbies to sign up.

The man dislikes stupidity. That's no reason to act like an @$$hole and come here just to attack him. Get a life!
