As I said up there, I don’t think this is one person. I also don’t think they are in Tennessee.

Since you’re so open, tell us about yourself!  
What are your sources of income?  
Why do you read the Huffington Post?  
Do you live alone?  
How much is your rent?  
How do you spend your days?  
Do you have friends?  
Why were you banned from James’ fan board?  
Why don’t you trust people to get in a relationship?  
Is James’ wife jealous of you?

^^^Or, you could simply ignore those questions, and try this one:

Is it your belief that Jesus Christ commands you to bring others closer to Him; and if so, can you point to any evidence that your participation on this message board is in actual compliance with that command?

I’d say she’s pretty much driven everybody on this message board away from ‘Potential James Otto fandom’.

It’s everywhere. Really. Good stuff.

Still not sure how the Huff Post fits in though…

But I’m sure JOSH will tell us.

Well, my goodness. Her Facebook page is as loony as the rest. Many snarky people commenting, god bless them always. I won’t link to it, of course.

My source of income is from my job of course.  
I only read the HP when one of my favorites is written about.  
I still live with my mom because I am the only person who cares about her and the chronic illness that she has had ever since I was four years old. My dad and older sister only care about themselves.  
Since I am still with my mom, I do my part where the expenses are concerned of course.  
When I am not online, I am either at work, church, helping my mom, or hanging with friends which pretty much answers your next question.  
It was James’ official website that I was banned from and the reason why is because other fans did not like where I didn’t hesitate to stand on certain issues which to me was over the line. They were the ones with the problem, so they should have been the ones to leave or just ignore me.  
I don’t trust people to get in a relationship because of all the cheating that has happened in my family.  
Is James’ wife jealous of me? That would be a question for her…because I have no idea.

How about you? 🙂 🙂 🙂

God bless you and James and his family always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Ah, I see. The common factor in all your failed message boards experiences is the failure of others to ignore you.

You have the right to stand on a streetcorner and speak your mind. You have the right to start your OWN board and speak your mind.

You do **not** have the right to spam other people’s boards with drivel and hate speech.

Contrary to what you seem to believe, the first amendment doesn’t extend to private message boards and such so therefore, if the powers that be at those boards deem it so, you do not have the right to speak your mind.

That website didn’t belong to them…and it still doesn’t.

P.S. Since that whole matter went down, the website has been re-designed and now no one can say anything on it.
