Stop Press: Jim Perrin writes under his most recent alias…

It has been brought to our attention that Jim Perrin is trying out a new alias (albeit back-dating it to  30/03/13) and has posted on Amazon a reworded replacement, and again 5*, review of his own book ‘Shipton and Tilman’. His earlier review was in the name of ‘Llywarch’, yrhenwr, Portland, Oregon.’ — a pseudonym he has frequently used and which we have written about in several of our posts. His latest version is in the name ‘Tim Bartley, yrhenwr, Portland, Oregon’. It is all becoming really rather ridiculous…

NB. The opening sentence of Tim Bartley’s (JP’s?) review is surely another ‘giveaway’? Actually the review was (originally) the first to be posted on Amazon and obviously there were then no other reviews, or comments, to merit that tone. It seems Jim Perrin has a crystal ball…

Apparently it was sent by one of our former and more vituperative online critics, ‘Liz’ and they apologized for the tenor of their earlier criticisms of us on various public sites; most interestingly, they declared that they also now recognized Jim Perrin as the individual we have been describing throughout.

It is a measure of the multiple and disordered online personalities that we believe Jim Perrin has created, and which we have detailed in our posts, that we feel unable to take this contact entirely at face value or to respond via the email address provided in it. Continue reading →

Llywarch’s poisoned pen

In April of this year, on Amazon, we read an intriguing review of Shipton and Tilman. Written by Mr. Bob Comlay, 27/04/2014, it seemed he had first-hand knowledge of one of the subjects of the book, and he was by no means complimentary to the author. Therefore it was hardly a surprise — when one considers his scorpion’s sting — that ‘Llywarch’ countered with an attack in support of his hero, Jim Perrin (we of course believe ‘Llywarch’ is Jim Perrin!): the posting of this poisonous comment was evidently an attempt to devalue and even to invalidate Mr. Comlay’s review.
