Jeffro: Thanks for explaining yourself. I believe you should take some of your own advice and consider your comments that I want people to fully endorse my “hatred” of Evans. I fully understand that you disagree with my view that the “screw you” comment was directed at Shelly and that this should not be taken as a blanket endorsement from you of every thing he does. I made the comment “defending” specifically referring to that incident. Myself, Shelly, her husband and more than a few others have good reason to believe that was directed at her (and at Dwayne). Naturally, should Evans theoretically make an excellent video about JW doctrine or the GB the next day, then great. Attaboy.
A decent amount of drama surrounds this man and it is unhealthy. Of little help is his penchant for blaming people and yes, a huge case of persecution complex - a good example of “us vs them” mentality. Add in his rude and arrogant nature and you are going to have people take issue with him. Then he takes issue with the people who take issue with him and then you get what happened last week. It’s the way he wants it so it’s the way he gets it.
Consider also the tweet itself and the context. Both Shelly and Dwayne made similar comments about exJW activists but mentioned no names. I can hardly fault the man for sticking up for himself should his name be brought up, but it wasn’t. It was completely unnecessary for him to jump in there, claim it was all about him and say “screw you”. Using the same logic, how do we even know they were referring to Evans? Possible, even probable, but not definite. Same goes for whom his response was directed at.
For me it’s like the mouse and the cheese argument. The cheese is missing and you know there is a mouse in the house but you didn’t physically see the mouse take it.
He’s done this so many times it’s hard not to make this connection.
