in bringing down Jim TWest.  We’ll just call him my “Pennsylvania correspondent” to preserve his anonymity.  He, in fact, provided an important piece in the puzzle when equating Jim’s posts to tweets:

“But in making a parenthetical comment about the usefulness of twitter for sharing useful articles and information between colleagues it occurred to me that many of Jim’s posts likely fall within the 140 character limit and often function in the same manner as twitter.”

This allowed us to demonstrate Jim’s duplicity by tweeting Jim’s blog response from his own blog.  It was very shortly after that Jim began to cave under the pressure …

Jim TWest … (UPDATE: You may also use TWestie)

BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Sorry, Jim but a nickname is not something you can choose.  It chooses you … like when you’re the only curly headed kid in your class and everyone calls you “perm” … not that I’d know anything about that.

In honor of Jim’s new nickname, everyone please consider updating your blogroll (if Jim’s on there).  You’ll not get away from Twitter so easily my friend.  Now, it will follow you around forever …

Oh yeah, and by the way, if you’re not already doing so, please  FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER.

Jim has now ruined my fun.  He has now removed my ability to Tweet from his blog.  But, rest assured that it is because of the bold investigative reporting done here that Jim removed this.  I still don’t trust him.  I think he would have kept the Tweet button as long as it was expedient for him (i.e. got him more page views). I mean think about it … if he really hated Twitter that much he would have never had the button in the first place …

But, now it’s not expedient because everyone has been alerted by my expert analysis as to his total depravity.  Very politician-like Jim … very politician-like …

And, remember: You heard it here first.

Update: Jim has ruined our fun

I already wrote about this over the weekend, but now I’m just having too much fun with it.  Jim wrote another anti-twitter post this morning.  So, I went over and tweeted his post directly from his own blog.  I think it would be extraordinarily funny for everyone to go over and tweet the post to see how many tweets we could get for Jim’s anti-twitter blog post directly from his own blog.  In fact, Twitter is so seamlessly integrated into Jim’s blog that you don’t even have to tweet his post.  You can click Tweet then erase the URL and post title and just do all of your regular tweets straight from Zwinglius Redivivus.

BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Okay.  Maybe my sense of humor isn’t the greatest … Or, maybe it’s the lack of sleep … Or, maybe it really is that funny …

I think we all know the answer to that question.  As further proof, in a move resembling that of a totally depraved waffling politician, Jim West has now started to offer readers the ability to “TWEET” his blog posts.

But, wait a second … I thought that Jim believed Twitter was the scourge of the earth ( I think Jim’s actual words are “theological abyss”).  But, Jim if people can “TWEET” your posts aren’t you encouraging the use of Twitter? He will allow for the use of Twitter I suppose when it suits him (not that anyone would tweet any of his poor excuse for blogging anyway though) ….

I know that not many of you are surprised by the depths to which Jim has sunk.  But, still the question remains as to whether or not Jim has a soul.  And if so, how dark, cold and vacuous that soul must be …

Well, not really … nothing really changed at all.  Jim is still angry.  Joel is still a dufus.  And, all is right with the world … unless you’re Jim, then everyone’s depraved and there’s very little right with the world.

Anyway, I’m hoping to pick my blogging back up a bit and I’m working on another blog project now that I’ll announce shortly.  #1 BiblioBlogger slot here I come … if you’re into that sort of thing.

So, Jim West got hold of my mugshot.  Check me out.  This is a picture of me shooting mind bullets, which is actually how I escaped and am now blogging again.  And, that’s why no one is coming to get me.  There’s no defense against mind bullets.  Better watch your back Jim … I can shoot these things hundreds of miles with great precision.  I might just get an urge to snipe you …

That’s right folks.  Apparently we have a BiblioBlogger who hates children, or at least my children.  He’s now dragging Dora the Explorer, who my daughters thoroughly enjoy, through the mud.  The accusations are groundless as her show makes no comment as to her status as a US citizen.

Jim West has mentally scarred my daughters once before, but I consider this a new low …  I just wonder whether there is any depth below which his depravity will not sink ….  I doubt it since he is, in fact, the antichrist.

I was reading Jim West’s review of the NLT Life Application Study Bible. I’m sure Isaiah 7:14 wasn’t the only place he read from, but it did appear to be a place he spot checked.  I was wondering if others have places that they spot check when checking out a translation. I know that I do. I particularly like to check out Isaiah 53.11 on account of an important textual variant there.   It is interesting to see how different translations handle the verse, but better yet whether or not they use a note to explain their translation (i.e. whether they include the word “light” or not). This is one of the reasons I began to like the NRSV more. I do not agree with their inclusion of the word “light,” but they explain in a footnote why they do so and on some difficult translation issues offer alternate possibilities. I also like to use places like Genesis 1.1, Isaiah 7.14, and Ecclesiastes 1. Where do you spot check and why?
