It sounds like you are asking us to imagine\* some scenario where jerk John is somehow even jerkier, or his jerkishness is somehow highlighted in his treatment of Julian. It’s some _reductio ad absurdum_ scenario that has no bearing. > > John was a jerk. He was damaged and it manifested in how he treated Julian and Cynthia. He also wrote about, and in some ways demonstrated, a desire to be a better person. And wrote some brilliant fucking music. What more are you looking for? > > \*heh You don’t understand what I said but you’re just making sure the place runs correctly, with the right ignorance fought in the correct way? I said he was more than a jerk. It’s child abuse as I see it. You are pushing back because you want it to stay right there at “jerk”? Why do you have an agenda about the kind of father JL was? I already explained why I do. Why do you need to police content of other posters?

Yeah, if you’re related to someone who’s super rich, be careful what you call the likely executor of his will. I was responding to this in my previous few posts. Please look up at the OP. Have you read any of the last 10 posts for content? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-was-julian-lennon-left-out-of-john-lennons-will/744308)._
