That person posted pornographic images with my name on them to my earlier Forums.That person has failed to respect my right to privacy and has preoccupied himself with attempting to identify me publicly but has so far only managed to stupidly and wrongly identify and probably embarrass a number of people who have nothing to do with this Blog. That person launched a spectacularly unsuccessful but nasty campaign against a Book that has nothing to do with me, but he persists with this fixed delusional belief that somehow it does. That person has abused other members on this and other forums, and promotes homophobia, racism and anti Islamic rhetoric. That person has been proven wrong about all manner of outrageous acts of Trolling on the Internet and has never once offered an apology, retraction or explanation. <br /><br />And I am supposed to feel sorry for the predicament his lifestyle has landed him in?<br /><br />Tell me you’re joking!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14104818673788818740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-64516151783622791242015-02-08T16:13:48.354+11:002015-02-08T16:13:48.354+11:00meant "would ever accuse"

Sometimes things are said or written and they are not aimed at anyone in particular, but are taken the wrong way or too personally by someone who might be overly sensitive for any number of reasons. Some of those reasons might even be unbeknownst to the original writer/speaker. Most of us have experienced it. Some people are just too quick to grab the wrong end of the stick and start swinging. <br />That said, and back on point, I have finally ordered a copy of Morrissey's book and my wait now begins!

I am wondering if they’ll be boasting about NOT reading it,” <br /><br />You will be disappointed to learn that the person you are deriding did not have a heart attack. Although he does need heart surgery, it is hard to believe that even you could be so cold and callous by wishing harm to a person who has criticized a book you claim to have nothing to do with. <br /><br />Mark Perry, you have shown you are no better as you are quite specific in what you state, leaving no doubt that you are also wishing harm on the same person. <br /><br />Comments like these confirm what this person has said about followers of the book he is unmasking. <br />Shockednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-83218131504309827992015-02-05T16:45:29.226+11:002015-02-05T16:45:29.226+11:00And heart attacks too, Mark, and they couldn’t hap...And heart attacks too, Mark, and they couldn’t happen to more deserving people!

I just put what I had done on my blog as a counterpoint. :)<br />I am looking forward to your Morrissey review. Hopefully, Brian Stevenson will get a copy and can also do a review since he had done such a good job reviewing the thesis. Will be interesting to see what carries over from the thesis and is possibly expounded upon in the book. Or is this just the thesis sort of repackaged as someone else wondered? Not that many had the original thesis to start with. Time will tell.<br />I see that Amazon has the book on offer over here. Deciding whether or not to go on and pull the trigger on it right now or not because I have some other goodies on my wishlist ahead of it.<br />Has anyone else gotten their copy yet?

I am now reading a MUCH better book, and I am not sure how I will review it yet, perhaps in parts...its going to need a lot of thought which is why nothing new has appeared this week, quite apart from the ending of the summer holidays.<br /><br />Daily checking the MailBox for the new Morrissey book due any day now...:)Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14104818673788818740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-71204404034824209902015-02-01T14:58:03.736+11:002015-02-01T14:58:03.736+11:00Oops, shoulda made that "just keep on believi...Oops, shoulda made that "just keep on believing everything you read.."

In the review I did a laundry list of errors I found and what the facts really were. Just before I put the errors I said in part "I don't put these corrections here with malicious glee to show how smart I am or to big note how well acquainted with the Kelly story I am. I put them here to help out readers to aid them in getting to the truth of the Kelly saga. That is the only thing that matters." That really should put the kibosh (but knowing the haters, it won't) on those who want to complain about me pointing things out that are wrong. Then, again, they do say that ignorance is bliss, so if ya wanna be happy just on believing everything you read in some of these books! Anyway, maybe it is a coincidence, or perhaps not, but just after my review it was said that a certain historic place decided to stop selling the Glenrowan book in their gift shop due to the number of errors in it. Still, as I said in the review, "It is a very good book, but it could have been a great book if only a bit more care might have been taken in fact finding and research." All that said, when I do my own Kelly research it always stays on the shelf.Sharon Hollingsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500349415203451928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-83087346383566468972015-01-30T23:53:36.919+11:002015-01-30T23:53:36.919+11:00I thought the book was a huge disappointment too. ...I thought the book was a huge disappointment too. Nothing new and just a weak rehash of the well worn story. Paul Terry's 'The True Story of Ned Kelly's Last Stand' was a boring rehash too. The newspapers of the time explained that people 'emu-bobbed' the Jones hotel site for days, which is why nothing meaningful has ever been found there. The Tony Robinson Time Team Glenrowan investigation was on SBS again the other day. Red Faces as far as the eye could see.Owennoreply@blogger.com
