Respect for Jack

[Alotta 88]

Many here would be aware that Whispering Jack is the founder and owner of Demonland. His son Demonland bears the majority of the burden of administering the site. Our ability to enjoy and participate in Demonland is entirely due to the time, money and effort Jack and his family have invested in the site.

I have noticed a disturbing trend recently, namely dissing Jack. Now he is more than capable of defending himself and he has many supporters like Pink Freud, Great Pretender and Sid Vicious willing to jump to his defence. Jack would no doubt be embarrassed by this post saying rightly that he can look after himself.

I for one would certainly not be critical of Demonland shutting down all threads where the attacks on Jack and his integrity go over the top. This is the owner's prerogative.

I think it a shame that that should prove necessary. I'm all for robust debate and diverse opinion but I just ask posters to show heightened respect and consideration for the man who has made Demonland possible.

This thread is very likely to be locked quick-smart, so before it does let me just say that I had no idea of Whispering Jack's relationship to Demonland. I would hazard a guess that most don't, and I would even go so far as to say that there's a reason for that.

One of the great things about the Internet is it allows some measure of anonymity. Let's keep it that way, shall we?

im sure most people on this site want to be negative naysayers but if jack cant look after himself, he better find a thick piece of rope to chew on. because nothing will stop these type of people submitting slanderous krap

And here was I thinking this was a Jack Grimes thread. Too many Jacks to keep track of.

Thanks Alotta ... like you I enjoy strident debate and I'll always speak my mind on a subject without worrying about those who throw barbs. I know most people realise I do so because of my loyalty to the club.

Happy to have a drink (diet coke only*) with you or any of the blokes but will bring along my son bodyguard Blistering just in case the going gets rough (only joking).

Anyhow, this is not about me so thanks to the mod who closed the thread a few minutes ago.

Let's concentrate on the footy ... * I have a bet going which, if the Dees get up against Brisbane, will see me with a plentiful supply of diet coke to share around.
