Trout/EJ is SaltyDawg's alt.
Mods gave him the choice of keeping either his EJ account or the SaltyDawg one and he let SaltyDawg go. dat jazzfanz.com mobile app doe
Funny, that's right -- in fact, I used to agree most of the time with Salty's posts -- LOL And I think Colton did say Wells was Trout. Strange. Because I remember Trout being a big booster of AK and Salty a big booster of Boozer, but maybe I'm wrong about that. Of course, I didn't know they were the same person.
In any case, I think actually called Trout during the Jerry-AK mess, telling him about One Brow and his attacks on me for defending AK and criticizing Jerry. One Brow's alts (Aint and JF2814) had been viciously attacking me, with homophobic remarks. All three were huge supporters of Jerry and from southern Illinois -- LOL (well, at least Aint and One Brow were from there). Aint was getting in trouble for his homophobia generally and with Aint and One Brow creating 20-page (at least that) philosophical dialogues on Jazzfanz's site and on One Brow's own site, it just got to be too much of a coincidence.
I remember I had been very amicable with Aint, and admired his linguistic ability in creating that dialect of his. If you knew anything about One Brow, who is a college philosophy professor, you would know he certainly was capable of pulling it off. In retrospect, I think neither Jerry nor AK handled that situation well, and it cost AK, because he was not able to overcome it and as a result declined as a player.
Anyway, I think that it was Trout I called because I thought he was such a big AK fan. But it may have been another poster. I also traded a lot of messages with Vinylone who also was convinced that One Brow and Aint were the same person. Colton even was hot to it, but couldn't prove anything.
I think it was sometime after that Wells started attacking me. But the proof was in the pudding about One Brow because I found his work number and called him and asked him to stop the attacks because I said if I could find his number I could find him. Of course, he denied he was Aint but the personal and hateful attacks I received on the site from his alts (he had another one, JF2814) -- they stopped. The guy is a brilliant man, I concede that and told him so when we spoke. I don't hold what happened against him. No one is perfect, least of all me. I'm just glad the nastiness on here has abated -- though I guess I've been a bit hard on Franklin.
I just can't deal with Corbin. Because of him, I've lost a lot of interest in watching the Jazz because I get so frustrated with the way he coaches. I used to get frustrated with Jerry too but at least he knew what he was doing.
