If you keep repeating something it doesn't make it true.

By Jerry

Forgive me for breaking my Front Page retirement, but I just can't take this crap anymore.

Ara Rubyan is accusing me of re-writing his comments. This is NOT true. Every single word he has written in the comment section here is HIS OWN. I may have updated a hyperlink or 25, but that's all. The words are his.

I got tired of him linking and re-linking a comment he clearly took out of context. So I thought I'd have a little fun with the tightwad and redirected the links to HIS site. I figured he could use the comment traffic.

Did he write the link portion of his comments or were they the result of the link fairy and some magical beans? If you are not going to apologize when you are clearly wrong you should at least have the decency to remain silent.

They were a result of a link fairy and magical beans. It takes 2 keystrokes to cut and paste a link. It takes 13 to write out the phrase he did. So at best, I modified 2 key strokes that were hidden behind a hyperlink.

Jerry, you really need to find a way to get more oxygen to your brain.

Jerry K. :
Ara is just a whiny little crybaby who can't get his way so he took his ball and went home. He's treated a member of my family like SHIT for years. There is never a discussion he has with Rose where he doesn't insult her in some form or another.

In any given discussion, he writes a paragraph detailing how stupid he thinks she is and then proceeds to go on a rant that may or may not be on topic.

Even you did something similar just now Eric. Rather than continue the discourse, you resort to a childish insult. You have every right to think I'm "clearly" wrong. I do not deny that I changed his links and I make no apologies for it. I do deny that I changed his words.

Ara likes to push buttons. Rose has a high tolerance for that sort of stuff. I do not. I changed the links without Rose's consent or knowledge.

My initial thought was Ara was trying to Google bomb the site by attaching Kill Whitey to QOAE. I was not going to stand for this sort of behavior, so I changed the links. It wasn't until after I changed them that I learned Google changed their algorithm. Oops.

Ara's using a blanket statement against me and it's inaccurate. Had he said 'I stopped going to QOAE when Jerry K starting modifying my links' that would have been different. But to say that I modified his comments implies that I changed MORE than just a link. That is not true.

Jerry, you are completely wrong.

He's not completely wrong. He did what he did and people can disagree with changing the link address being wrong or right. But to be completely wrong implies that everything he said was wrong and it IS NOT.

Jerry's stated reason for altering the link was a fear of a 'Google bomb'.

Jerry did nothing to verify the validity of his fear (or he would have easily discovered the truth about Google bombs).

Therefore, he is completely wrong.

Jerry K. makes a good point and I think he's correct. It's really a question of how precisely you want to define your terms. "He rewrote my comments" gives a completely different sense of what happened than, "He redirected a link in my comments."

What Jerry K. did was pretty reasonable, especially considering the malicious intent of the link.

Stick to your guns, Jerry.
