So every time I stumble on a message board, I will sign up using J.O.S.H. this will at least force you to choose another name that won’t show up when someone googles J.O.S.H. if ONLY someone would have had the chance to orphan that name on this board before you showed up. But alas, no such luck.

What really makes this chat (heh) a wild ride is that some of you people who are engaging **JOSH** keep proving yourselves nuttier than she is. Where does this _come_ from???

Flying Spaghetti Monster bless you and her always!

^^^ I don’t know where it comes from, but if the links that I have shared so far are not enough for the person who asked for proof that I have turned a few heads with what I do where James is concerned, go [**here**](http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=297610) for another great online exchange that I am a part of! Then there is the encouragement that I get from people who are at the official website for Miranda Lambert as well as a fan forum for Taylor Swift that I found. 🙂 🙂 🙂  
God bless you and them and James always!!!

That was one person saying they like once one song. The rest of them were making fun of you.

Except, you were trying to claim that other message boards like your posts. When you give us links to places where you are just talking to yourself, all that proves is you have too much time on your hands.

Uh huh. I’m sure by now, Mr Otto has learned to not respond to you.

Tax law is not a fabrication. The realities of what it costs to live are not fabrications.

I have no idea - I cannot be bothered with Twitter. Are you trying to say you sent him an email?

> [@Marley23](#):
>
> I’ve lost track- why are we supposed to care if he posts? I don’t think anyone here had ever talked about his music before, and if anyone ever mentions him from now on, it’ll be connected to their annoyance at your behavior here. Nobody here would be impressed to see a post from him, and you’re not doing him any favors generally speaking.

I think the original question was if Mr Otto had any idea what JOSH was doing to his name.

OK, that made me LOL. Since you don’t hear a voice in your head telling you not to be an asshole, that makes it OK?

Bitch.

Even if I was being made fun of there like I am here, a person still took the time to listen to what I had to share, they liked it, and to me, that is all that matters. I don’t let those who give me grief stop me from doing what it is that I am trying to do for someone that I care about. 🙂 🙂 🙂

The online exchanges that I provided links to go to show that people most definitely do not have a problem with what I have to say. Sure not everyone will agree with them people, but that is to be expected because no one is the same.

James has written to me at the Twitter site 16 times so far and that doesn’t even include the private messages that I have gotten from him. How many of those have I gotten from him? As of right now around 15 of them. 🙂 🙂 🙂

And tax law is not what I said is fabricated. Look again at the message that you are responding to here. I said that any explanation that y’all try to come up with would be fabricated when I say that everything that I have said about my having my taxes done is true…now do you get it?

No I did not send an email to James. I sent him a private message at the Twitter site. Actually over there, private messages are called direct messages. Oh and for the record, James was the first to write to me over there in such a way. I didn’t write to him privately then. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Oh and James knows what it is that I intend to do with his name and also knows that getting others to do what I suggest is not easy.

And just because you think that I am what it is that you decided to call me does not mean that the Lord thinks that I am such a thing.

God bless you three and James always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Oh, so you _are_ capable of grasping the specific terminology of certain areas of your online travels. This leaves me with no choice but to assume that your refusal to refer to threads by their appropriate name as nothing but passive aggressive bullshit.

Which a) has nothing whatsoever to do with what I said, and 2) proves nothing other than that you place more emphasis on one person telling you what you want to hear than on a hundred telling you something you don’t.

You think it’s a success to have one person like one song, and a whole slew of people decide to not even bother because you are so obnoxious?

> [@](#):

Um, people don’t tend to make fun of those they agree with or have any respect for.

Uh, so? What does that have to do with anything?

And I said I base my conclusion that you lied again on what the tax laws are and the reality that no one can make a living solely from flipping burgers at McDs. Kind of forgot to address that last part, didn’t you?

> [@](#):

You are saying it isn’t easy to get people to listen to his music? What kind of fan are you?

>
> And just because you think that I am what it is that you decided to call me does not mean that the Lord thinks that I am such a thing.

I couldn’t care less what you think your voices in your head tell you. Real live humans are telling you that you are self centered, obnoxious, passive aggressive, proving you don’t want to fit in, a troll and whatever else. But you prefer to pretend that those voices in your head are from some higher power and listen only to what you like to hear.

Bitch.

It doesn’t matter to me how many people hate what I do and how many approve. as long as it isn’t a crime, which it isn’t, I am going to continue to share James and the Lord with the world until they tell me to stop.

Your devotion to James is asevere form of idolatry. Which if you’re not a complete moron you know is against one of the 10 commandments. I’d like to see you justify your way out of that 1.
