Jac’s sisters complain to Amazon about author Jim Perrin

We have, for some time, been expressing both our disinclination to believe many of the postings on Amazon regarding Jim Perrin’s “West:” (and our own blog ‘jacssisters’) and our absolute disbelief that certain of the commentators were even genuine: that was our judgement.

But how could we parry the moves of one whom we thought to be so ‘experienced’ in the ways othe internet?  Ref: ‘Jim Perrin’s Fiefdom’.

Our blog is a genuine attempt to document the real history of our sister’s short, and unsatisfactory, relationship with Jim Perrin whose book – to our knowledge – reveals sophistry and great dishonestly, about her and much else.

We do understand he cannot be pleased that we should have risen against him and proved him to be an author by no means scrupulous: and those comments which are, in our opinion, his ‘attempts’ via Amazon to cast doubt on our own integrity have, by and large, shown (we think) how his mind works.

‘Llywarch’ ‘urged readers to compare the two testimonies’

Jac’s sisters think it a moot point that ‘Liz’* was owed an apology (as s/he bare-facedly claimed) considering how she has written of us after our first, brief mention of her on the Amazon site in February 2011, since when she has used that site to defame us with apparent impunity.  Her attitude serves only to reinforce our view that in reality it is Jim Perrin who is using that name as one of his aliases, and the style may be compared with that of comments made by ‘Melangell’, ‘My Sweet Waterfall’ and ‘Rich’. Some of those to whom we have referred in previous posts.

However, in this post our concern is to show what an untruthful account of our sister’s life the author Jim Perrin has given in West, and how he has promoted himself and his book. We have said that much of what he has written about her is flagrant exaggeration, vivid imaginings and (this we can prove) absolute lies.

‘Perrinoia’ (Ref. our post ‘We are not convinced’)

We had hardly posted this title Jim Perrin’s Fiefdom, 23/06/2011, in which we outlined our idea that the author has been manipulating the internet for some time, when ‘Liz’ — (watching and waiting?) — followed on Amazon with another inimitable response.

Completely ignoring the reason for our site, the important issues raised and the proof we have shown of Jim Perrin’s lies and behaviour to our sister, ‘Liz’ — three comments after saying: ‘Do not bother with one of your oh so reasonable replies, I won’t be reading it!’,  is apparently still reading our posts regularly and posted a response on Amazon within only hours of that entry being posted…

It was one of her (JP?s) typical comments — this time the rabbit produced from the hat was the word ‘toxic’ (which we hope we are not) and here we will quote ourselves:

‘Lest we be accused of “Perrinoia” who else but HE would care, or would be sufficiently interested, or would have the motive, to so traduce us?’

And we still think that this ‘lady doth protest too much’.

We do firmly believe that Jim Perrin has manipulated the internet using the only ‘avenue’, ref. ‘Liz’, open to him (without breaking cover) to shout down Jac’s sisters and if anyone is still reading that Amazon thread, to Have the Last Word’ — usually offensive.

It is our absolute opinion that ‘Liz’s’ remarks are suspect and we have shown in preceding blogs how typical we believe them to be of Jim Perrin’s modus operandi.

Amazon, we understand, are a completely fair and even-handed organisation: they have allowed ‘Liz’ to post some very questionable comments — possibly because we have not complained — and as we said elsewhere ‘all publicity is good publicity’. We are grateful to ‘Liz’ for reminding readers that we have a site of our own, although we believe that she has recently caused some of our reviews and comments — and those of others — to be deleted from Amazon threads.

Our site is important to us and as we wish as many people as possible to be shown the lies which Jim Perrin has told in West we are pleased that some who may not have discovered that we had a site — until reading the comments posted by ‘Liz’ on Amazon — are now made aware: we thank her for that inadvertent support…

Here is the apology she demanded: posted on Amazon it was instantaneously deleted and as it was certainly tongue in cheek we quite understand her wish to have it deleted from the record:

‘We unreservedly apologise to ‘Liz’ (JP?) for doubting her existence. Although we feel that the denigratory, insulting and offensive language which she has used about us on this site [Amazon], could be thought a master class!’

Jac’s sisters.
