some of you might have noticed a twit named iolo
davidson posting here on occasion lately. (for those of
you unfamiliar with him, he's the uk's version of kevin
darcy).

anyway, one of his more interesting displays of his
dishonesty has been his "Imo" lie.

apparently as a diversion from some of his bigger lies,
he tried to make a joke by claiming i had called him
"Imo." sadly for him he made a typo when he posted his
claim, as i never called him "Imo" but instead had the
net convention "imo" at the end of a sentence to
indicate that what i had posted was "in my opinion" and
not a blatant assertion.

so poor iolo's joke fell flat. in darcy-like fashion
and rather than simply laughing at himself for his
fuck-up, a rather unimportant one, the poor fool has
been reposting the article with the text "imo" and
proving himself a liar each time he does.

his inability to admit even this simple, obvious
mistake says a lot about him and is a warning, i think,
about whether anything he posts can ever be believed.

: Now Fuck off and die - sooner, rather than later.

it's amusing to read what iolo's dishonesty and lack of
character can drag out.
