[kj] Question about this...unpleasantness.

[Jim Harper]

I recall being told that Jaz's comments were part of a message to the Gathering, transcribed for the express purpose of communicating with the Gathering.


Jim.

Not trolling. Honestly.
 
So, is the implication here that Cormac acted at the behest of Jaz, the band or its management in posting those comments on the KJ Facebook page with the express purpose of doing sabotage to the September Cult shows? And that Cormac is now being used as a scapegoat by Jaz, the band or its management?
 
It seemed pretty clear from the beginning that Cormac had, unbeknownst to Jaz, transcribed those incendiary comments from a private conversation which he then posted to the KJ Facebook page without the knowledge of Jaz or the band/management. Jaz is well known for making outrageous statements (or just lying a lot) but would he have done so with Cormac if he had known he was speaking ex cathedra and that his words would be subsequently quoted as a formal statement from the band?
 
This whole thing reminds me of the conflicting defense strategies during the OJ Simpson trial, i.e. that KJ is both a disorganized collection of bumbling buffoons while also being masterminds able to perpetrate a conspiracy of almost unimanageable complexity involving all levels of the band, its management and fans. 
 
So which is it? 
 
Again, not trolling. I have nothing to gain other than edification. I'm not on anyone's side.
 
My vote: bumblers
