I'm reposting this from the thread about the Pentagon's addiction to S&M pictures depicting the torturing of innocent Iraqis in order not to derail that thread. Someone pointed me toward Jim Hudnall's warblog and asked if I was interested in what he'd said about me. This was my response:

No, I hadn't noticed Hud's comments prior to you pointing them out to me. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not intent on brooding about this event to the point where I go mad and kill myself. :)

I -am- however, very interested by a very curious piece of information I turned up when doing a little search on two warbloggers who were hounding me... I invite everyone to go to http://www.register.com and tell them (in the provided box) that you want to register www.kevinparrott.com when they tell you that the web address is already registered, click "see who owns it" to see who owns it. There are a few steps to the process, but it doesn't take long. Then do the exact same thing for www.jimtreacher.com.

Surprise, he's the same guy.

Then go back and forth between the two sites and see how often "Jim Treacher" highlights and supports "Kevin Parrott" slamming on me and vice versa. It's amazing how often this guy slams me on one of his sites, then goes onto congratulate his "friend" (himself using an alias) about how clever his "friend" is. When you go onto other people's warblogs and see him/them roundly congratulating him/themselves and directing unsuspecting viewers to one "anothers" blogs, it's kinda astounding.

It's even more delicious when you realize that their fellow WarBloggers truly think that Kevin and Jim are two different people even though their writing styles are exactly the same... these same WarBloggers who were rounding mocking everyone who visits this board or ever read one of my comics for being "duped" by Micah The Ranger are themselves being Duped by Kevin The Treacher.

Seriously, when I realized that this Right-Wing guy who essentially e-stalked me for a full month about Rangergate, was running a scam on this level, I suddenly realized why he hated me so much: because he's doing the same type of thing. Just like I hated GW Bush so much for faking his military service: because I was in a unique position of similar conduct.

We hate in others what we see in ourselves... in my case, watching Bush use the exact same excuses for not divulging his military record as I was using drove me up the wall. In Kevin Parrott/Jim Treacher's case, watching me get away with running a false identity scam drove HIM up the wall because he's been doing the exact same thing in a different way.

It's amusing in a way, because Parrott was the guy who picked that huge fight with me a year or so ago, the fight in which he picked out me and Steven Grant and Robbie Morrison as comic book writers against this idiotic war and roundly mocked us as know-nothings, and I retaliated by doing the stupidest thing I'd ever done during Rangergate: using my false military service as a bludgeon against someone who was attacking me.

It's become Folk Wisdom that I did this on a regular basis, but in actuality, I only did it that once and it left such a nasty taste in my mouth that I never did it again. Had I never gotten into that fight with Parrott, things would never have been as bad on the right-wing blog circuit and nowhere near as many lies and half-truths would have been spread by them about me (see also: www.asmallvictory.com and www.thespoonsexperience.com) while they were defending their "friend" Kevin Parrott. Including Jim Treacher who said that he was e-stalking me because I had so mistreated poor Kevin Parrott.

By being both Jim and Kevin, this guy (whatever his REAL name is) got to play both sides against the middle... as Jim, he got to punch me in the mouth again and again every time another piece of Rangergate fallout hit (me being fired from Vigilante, fired off Stormwatch, etc.). As Kevin, however, he got to play the nice guy and to publicly "forgive" me for the "wrongs" I had done him and to give me career advice--which strangely, but perhaps very illuminatingly, included coming up with a pseudonym and continuing to live my life as a lie.

Also interestingly, although Kevin Parrott posted the hate mail I sent him a year ago, he never posted the apologetic email I sent him at the beginning of May where I apologized to him for using my false military service as a club against him... but the day after I sent that to him, he DID nastily reprint a private piece of email I had sent to Jim Treacher asking him to stop stalking me, and then mocked me for it. Weirdly, I had forgotten that this whole fight started when Kevin did the same thing over a year ago.

So yeah, I easily understand what pissed Kevin/Jim/Parrott/Treacher off so badly. He's doing the same thing as I am, and just as I would have crowed about Bush being revealed as a service-skipper, Jiven Parrotreacher crowed to see me brought low.

It's amazing the insights into human nature that a good therapist can give you.

I'm sure that Kevim Treachott will post a claim that he/they are two different people, and I'm sure that he/they will both vigorously deny my claims and explain that Jimmy doesn't have a credit card and couldn't register his site himself (not that that explains why the addresses and phone numbers are the same) or maybe they'll both pretend that they live in the same house, or maybe they're post a photo purporting to be "THEM" together. Hell, that website registration information will probably quickly become different as Jemim scrambles to hide his dual identity, so go check it fast.

They'll have some half-baked excuse and a lot of their fellow WarBloggers will believe them. I expect these things because I ran the same scams myself while still pretending to have been a Ranger. But I'm here to tell you, Jimvin Preachott, that it just feels better to admit the lie and get on with your life.

A posting here in this forum from Kevim Treachott:

"FUCK YOU for using a lie in debate, especially for throwing it in other people's faces. I always knew you were lying about your military record, but I could never find solid proof and didn't want to speak up. You're also a completely worthless piece of shit, and I've always known that, too.
...
You [forum readers] must also like the taste of feces. Because that's what he's been doing all this time - taking a giant shit right into all of your mouths, and laughing up his sleeve at you every time you wrote a word in his defense.

Reap it, you smug motherfuckers, reap it."
###

Yeah, see, this is what my Therapist would call "displaced anger."

http://forums.delphiforums.com/micahwright/messages?msg=4939.786
I also knew Micah was lying, pretty much from the moment he threw his "Ranger Cred" in my face. There was no way to prove it, though.
...

So I sat on my suspicions, and kept my mouth shut, and let Micah talk his smack. After letting all that slide for over a year, I think I deserved to be a little upset about his "courageous confession" yesterday. I will not apologize for the words I posted, but I will apologize for the way I wrote them.

Anyway, at least I was honest.

- Kevin Parrott
###

He was being honest. What a fucking hoot. E tu, Kevin Parrott/Jim Treacher.

It's really quite sick when you consider that Kevin/Jim forced Jens Altman to apologize to Kevin for... what, exactly? For MY actions? Because contrary to the spin Kevin/Jim wants to put on it, this was a fight he picked by posting this bullshit. I over-reacted and used my false military service as a club to hit Kevin/Jim, which was BULLSHIT on my part, and something that I'm sorry for having done... and something I've apologized to Kevin for. Evidently that apology wasn't good enough for Jim, however, who continued to e-stalk me for a full month.

Jens' apology: Kevin, you are one of the people who have the most right to be angry about this entire affair. Since I'm still maintaining "Good-Language Law," I won't repeat what Micah called you. I have restored your posting rights, and I sincerely apologize for my part in what happened to you.

Jens had nothing to do with what happened to Kevin. It was all me. Kevin acted like a creep, and was treated like a creep in response. While it was Muntish of me to claim to have been a Ranger, and to use that false service in a debate, it was equally Muntish of Kevin/Jim to demand an apology from Jens, especially for defending me when Kevin was "being honest."

For fun, here's a classic Jim/Kevin backup/support... read down into the blog talkback sectin where Jim and Kevin support one another in their fight against me... http://www.kevinparrott.com/archives/000207.html

As to what my point is here: well, I guess there's no point beyond me having discovered that Jim and Kevin are the same person and being astounded that someone who went on such a fucking rampage about me being a liar and "sick in the head" is doing essentially the same thing. I'd love to see an apology from Jim Treacher, similar to the one I sent him under his Kevin Parrott pseudonym, but I doubt I'll ever see it.

Wow. Nice try, Micah but no dice. They are, in fact, two very different people. But you have fun with your conspiracy theories. Who am I to stop you from looking like an ass? Full speed ahead, then.

By the way, it's asmallvictory.net, not .com. But thanks all the same.

Jim Treacher has emailed me, directing me here - with a view to my blogging your original message at Fanboy Rampage, I think - and claims that Parrott is just a friend who hosts his blog...

Maybe if Micah gave any thought to this idiotic theory before he posted it, he might have figured out that one blog is just hosting the other. But he'd rather believe that he can negate anything Parrot or Treacher said about him because this makes them as bad as he is.

Too bad Micah's theory is completely false.

I suppose you're the lovely Michelle from http://www.asmallvictory.net/ ?

I love your rebuttal of my theory that one person has registered both of these domain names and can therefore be suspected of perhaps being the same person (backed up by the whois registry, btw, and thus not a "baseless conspiracy theory" at all):

"It's not true because it's not true. And Micah is crazy."

Way to reason yourself right back into that paper sack there, Michelle.

> if he ends up changing it

Just a note: If they were to change it, they'd best be prepared to prove the other person exists. ICANN Frowns on fraudulent domain name registrations and, because of the SPAM issue, is getting far more willing to revoke domains with fake ID's when they're reported.

Jim's awfully trusting of his friend Kevin though, given that he's given him free rights to point his domain at a porn site should he ever piss him off.

Micah, it's baseless because you have no other proof that they are the same person. One person hosting many sites is hardly an internet phenomenon. A smarter person would have found more facts to put behind their theory before they went to town with it.

And I've signed up domains for people before, but I've always put it IN THEIR NAME. That seems a little strange.

From a year ago:

http://jimtreacher.com/archives/000389.html

"The biggest thanks I can give to Kevin Parrott for kicking me in the ass and helping me set this up. Help, hell, he did all of it. I was just like, 'Anything I can do?' As tends to be the case, there was nothing I could do."

Not conclusive proof, granted, and it could be that this was written up post hoc to create a paper trail...but I choose to apply Occam's Razor.

Hey Micah -- glad to hear that you are spending quality time in therapy. I hope that it will eventually help you achieve some peace with yourself.

Also, have you made any decision on donating future profits from "Back the Attack" to veteran's causes?

Dave

Not everybody is as bright as you.

Believe me, I know this for a fact - long ago used to work for Network Solutions, and the numbers of people who had to send in faxes because they were idiots when first registering a domain were simply overwhelming.

It's not very commonly done for the simple reason that for all intents and purposes KP now owns his "name". At a minimum Jim would have to jump through a whole pile of hoops to lay claim to that domain name should his relationship with Parrott sour, and a legal battle is inevitable should KP decide to be a dick and challenge his efforts to transition the name. Which is why most people we work with will ask that they be listed as at least the primary Account Holder even if they're handing over admin and tech work to us.

Sorry, the evidence IS kind of flimsy: tech-savvy friends register their less-literate friends all the time.

Usually, when registering for someone else, you should put it all in their name, but I can see a situation where a friend may never want to deal with his domain and has someone else take care of it.

Similar writing styles may come from being very good friends and hanging out together all the time.

Damn you for tearing me away from "Call Of Duty" for this. By the way, you might like it if you've never played. It's all about pretending to be in the military and stuff.

Full disclosure: I didn't read all of your novella. Jesus Christ, you ramble worse than Greg Allman.

I get the gist, though.

You've certainly exceeded my expectations. I didn't think you could possibly get any nuttier...and yet, here you are.

So, basically, what your big "smoking gun" boils down to is this: jimtreacher.com is registered in my name.

Well, no shit, McMillan and No Life. Anyone can find that out by doing a simple search, and I've never even made any attempt to hide it. Unlike YOU, who goes around deleting every message board thread, web page, or any other shreds of evidence in an attempt to downplay the extent of your lies. Or, so you can spin even more lies out of it in the futile hope that the deleted evidence can't be used to prove you wrong.

Why did I register the domain for Jim? Because "none of your business", that's why. Let's just call it a favor to an online friend whose writing I enjoy and who was having some problems at the time, and leave it at that. See, online friends sometimes do things like that for each other. I wouldn't expect you to know that, however, because all YOU'VE ever done for YOUR online friends is allow them to unkowingly defend your lies for over a year, and then shit all over them by making excuses for it when you finally got cold-busted.

If Jim ever wants to assume control of the domain name www.jimtreacher.com, he's welcome to it. I registered it for him the first time as a gift, after all. I'm not the savviest of webmasters (someone else designed mine, and if it ever crashes I'm screwed), but I figured that when he wanted to take it over it would be a simple matter of switching the registration into his name. I could be wrong about that, though - but it's been working out fine so far, and I'm too lazy to really look into it. You're going to feel pretty stupid when that switchover eventually occurs.

No, scratch that. No matter how stupid you feel, you'll never have the balls to own up to it. You'll just blame the Media, or George Bu$h, or whoever you can blame at the time to make yourself feel better.

Things I will tell you, even though you don't deserve a word of explanation from me for anything:

1. My name is Kevin Parrott.
2. I live in Wilmington, NC.
3. I own my own business.
4. I'm not a warblogger, or Right Wing. The number of posts I've made dealing with the War or politics comes to less than 10% of the material on my blog, but believe whatever you want.
5. I've never personally met Jim Treacher, but he's been an online friend for a few years. Sort of like most of you have never met face-to-face, yet consider each other friends. Or enemies. Or whatever it is you're calling each other this week.
6. I know exactly where Jim lives (hint: several states away), but where that is falls under "none of your business".
7. Jim was blogging for over a year before I ever really knew what a blog was.
8. I blogged on Blogspot for a while, then bought my own site. Jim hated Blogspot like I did but was in no position to buy his own domain, so I bought it for him with the knowledge that he could take over any time he was ready. Mystery solved, Robert Stack applauds from the Netherworld.

Now, anyone on here can do a few minutes of research and find out any of this stuff for themselves. But, they won't. A lot of them would rather continue to blindly believe anything you tell them, despite the fact that you've been proven to pile lie upon lie like a Dagwood Sandwich. And, you've already got this conspiracy theory locked firmly inside the hornet's nest you call a mind, so nothing I say is ever going to change that. You're quite delusional.

"It's become Folk Wisdom that I did this on a regular basis, but in actuality, I only did it that once and it left such a nasty taste in my mouth that I never did it again."

Posts like this are why I suggested you adopt a pen name. What you wrote above is clearly a lie, which can be researched and disproven in seconds, but the eeriest thing is - I think you really believe what you wrote. If that's what your good therapist is doing for you, I sincerely advise you to seek a second opinion.

I know that this is all just another desperate, pathetic attempt at shifting blame and focus away from yourself, and that you somehow feel this is going to take some of the heat off you...but it's not. You keep digging yourself deeper and deeper, Micah, and it's your own fault. Not mine, or Jim Treacher's, or the Media's, or George Bu$h's - or anyone else's, for that matter. You and you alone made this hole in your life, and nothing as bullshitty as this thread is ever going to change that.

I wrote this on my blog here - http://www.kevinparrott.com/archives/000627.html (guess you must have missed it when you were uncovering the Vast Warblogger Conspiracy against you):

"I've never suggested Micah Wright be crucified over this."

After this hilarious "investigative expose" of yours, I couldn't care less, Geraldo. It's nothing more than what you continually earn.

And Jens, if you get the chance to read this before he snatches it down - I meant my apology to you, and I still think you're a stand-up guy for yours. I'm truly sorry you have to keep such shitty company.

Well, look at that. Guess I'm a Ramblin' Man myself, sometimes.

EDITED: guess you don't get html with free accounts, so I cut all of it out.

"Interesting theory, old bean, and I've noted the Treacher/Parrott Butch & Sundance act myself...but they do have different ISP #s registered with different providers in different states."
