Private Message to Liam (No One Else Should Read This) — Page 3

I'm Yenta, too.

I was content to remain silent on this, but when people start claiming to be me, well; it's a bit disconcerting. I am Liam!

DGrant,

I belong to another message board run by a friend of mine and she says that there are numerous pranksters on there with more than one identity. If you read the sincerity with which they post under different personalities, you could never guess this. We've also seen Rob's and Craig's occasional warnings about more than one identity also.

Liam's posts are harmless. I don't think he or she has any other motive other than having fun with us. But whatever personae Liam presents, I believe he or she is an adult. Maybe I'm missing the posts that Liam as a young teen would write about seeing a broadway show. I have to wonder why he doesn't try to connect with others by discussing shows. Besides the comic way of setting himself up as a joke, he also doesn't seem to discuss with anyone favorite shows, performers, etc. Why does he even frequent a broadway show based site? His adult comprehension, as Namo calls it, is a dead giveaway.

I don't know LuvTheEmcee except for her incredibly good taste in leading men. She and munkustrap may vouch for Liam's youth, but they and others may be taken in by him also.

I also think many respond to Liam's character as just that--a character. It's not a vast conspiracy, just a small one. And I have to give him credit for being funny. I'd miss him if he left here.

I love that you see the best in everyone, DGrant. It makes you one of my favorite people here. I also have to admit I have a young teen whose beginning to love the internet, and I'm hypervigilant concerning internet imposters because I worry that my son connect with the wrong person. But Liam's posts don't jive with who he says he is. His words are very consistently misspelled and his funny little messages just beg for outraged or humorous responses.

I would never hurt a child's feelings. If I weren't so confident that he is not a child, I wouldn't post this.

It sort of seems difficult next to impossible to fake all the pictures, especially the ones in Ireland...

Pal Joey, as someone who has never met Liam and knows absolutely nothing about him, who are you to say that his misspelling is fake? And, if Liam's spelling IS fake, why would I constantly defend him on this board? Obviously, I'm getting nothing out of it.

I know you work with children with learning disabilities and you seem to INSIST that Liam is masquerading as someone who can't spell. I just don't understand why you refuse to accept the fact that Liam is, in fact, real AND (yes, AND) has trouble spelling. You think his "masquerading" as someone who can't spell is "disrespectful" to kids with actual spelling issues. Okay, maybe you have a point - but there is NO evidence of Liam faking his misspelling on this board - you are just so convinced that you're right and EVERYONE else is wrong - and I don't know where that comes from, but it's about time you stepped off your high horse and realized that you're 100% incorrect. If you really do work in that field and claim to know as much about is as you do, one would think that you would realize that he's not a fake. What if one of your "ld" children was constantly told that they're so stupid, or that they're spelling is so bad - that they can only be an impostor - because essentially, that is what you're implying. That's not a very good message to be sending to the children - and imagine how high you must be boosting up Liam's self esteem! Way to go!

And wink, I have no idea where you came from, but your Liam theories are completely incorrect, and you sound like an idiot for even suggesting such a thing.

Liam's older brother Brian graduated High school with me. Liam's father was my baseball coach. Liam and his sister Devin (queenoffrance) were just in a musical revue in Monroe, NY entitled "PLAY IT AGAIN" that I musically directed. Would you like me to list the songs they performed? Would you like me to tell you where Liam lives so you can send him a letter or something?

You people are CRACKING me up at all your different Liam theories. They're all wrong! Liam is an absolute real person. I offered to take pictures of him and I tonight so we could post them and you can all see how foolish you are. Really, this has got to stop.

I'm terribly dismayed that so many people would read a thread entitled: Private Message for Liam (No One Else should Read This).

I feel like my privacy has been invaded.

Where's that bottle of gin with a straw in it?

I know nothing about the kid's identity-- BUT I can vouch for the fact that if Emcee is saying that he is a "real boy" then it's true. I know that she isn't into the internet role-playing BS that some people here enjoy. I have met her and can attest to what I believe to be her absolute credibility, even though I feel as if her behavior on these boards should have earned her such credibility on this site anyway.

Emcee never lies...almost never lies...well, I'm sure she isn't lying now.


Ummm...nameless IMP!
