Think I’ll mosey over to James otto’s page and tell him how I was going to give him a listen, with an open mind, until his nearly illiterate number one fan appeared on my favourite board and gave everyone such a bad impression of him as to turn off potential listeners by the thousands. It’s clear that though she claims to be a devout Christian she is obviously devoted more to James Otto than her God. She seems to be an object lesson in how Christianity is like baseball, many attend few understand. I think James would want to know. Especially about the, “eye for an eye, only forgive those who ask me for it, no respect for those who don’t demonstrate respect first…God!” I’m certain he’ll be surprised! How can he fail to be impressed with the efforts made, on his behalf, in his name, in this thread! Think I’ll send him a link. I’m certain he’ll adore being so ‘blessed’ with such a fan, working so tirelessly on his behalf - to alienate potential listeners! ---

Most celebrities who are stalked, the way Mr. Otto is by JOSH, do already know just what damage their “#1 fan” is doing. She’s like Syndrome was to Mr. Incredible. ---

^^^ In case you didn’t already know this, as of right now, James has told me “Thank you.” numerous times for all of the “damage” that I have done for him which is more than you people here will ever know and yes, James knows all about it because I let him know about **each** and **every** bit of it. 🙂 🙂 🙂 > [@elbows](#): > > Think I’ll mosey over to James otto’s page and tell him how I was going to give him a listen, with an open mind, until his nearly illiterate number one fan appeared on my favourite board and gave everyone such a bad impression of him as to turn off potential listeners by the thousands. > > It’s clear that though she claims to be a devout Christian she is obviously devoted more to James Otto than her God.

If you appreciate fair and friendly warnings, I have one for you right here. You won’t be saying anything that James doesn’t already know about and that would include how people like **you** roam this planet. 🙂 🙂 🙂 God bless you two and James always!!! Holly P.S. Don’t be surprised if James were to tell you where to go because I have actually seen him do that a few times already. 🙂 🙂 🙂 ---

Doubtful. If he got dropped from a record company it would be because he’s not selling enough to be worth his expense. Quality doesn’t really come into it. Plus, he’s pretty bland. We’ve already got loads of Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith schlocky country music. Market’s pretty saturated. ---

^^^ The kind of country that James sings isn’t anything like what Toby and Kenny sing though. Country mixed with soul is what James is into. God bless you and him and Kenny and Toby always!!! Holly ---

I can only assume, then, that you have never listened to soul music. ---

> [@James\_Otto\_Sweet\_Heart](#): > > ^^^ I appreciate your honesty. 🙂 🙂 🙂 > God bless you always!!! > Holly What enjoyment do you get from being here? Seriously. You’re mocked by everyone and liked and respected by no one. Does that make you feel good? Yes, we all know we can’t shut you up or make you go away; you’ve proved that. Ok. Does this go on for infinity? Do you feel like you’ve accomplished _anything_ with all the time you’ve spent here at the Dope? Other than perhaps enlightening a shit-ton of people that James Otto and his music is crap and maybe a few fence-sitters that God in fact does not exist. ---
