I think the answer to the sock's OP's question as evinced in the thread title is........no one. No one is on Timonen's side.

Josh Timonen is a smear of foetid fecal matter stuck to the anal pubes of a 500 pound syphilitic alcoholic who can't reach to wipe.

But I can only speak for myself here.

Your post is the first I've of it in months. Are you a copypastabot?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Really?

There's much more Josh ignoring. We tend not to waste too much time on yesterdays news here - unless it's cheese related. :roll:

No. Don't worry. The cheese is safe. :console:

Actually, the store was Josh's idea. Richard thought it would be good for awareness-raising. As it started making money, I speculate Richard said to himself: "Oh, great, I don't have to pay Josh out of my own pocket. I'll just have him keep the store proceeds. Problem solved." That's just how it seemed to me, admittedly. I don't know what kind of case the plaintiff's side is going with, but they're not about to admit to the truth, or they wouldn't have a case.

Yes, this topic hasn't been brought up in months. The trial is just taking place now. Browsing the net for updates, I spotted the Josh-bashing and thought I would share a perspective I hadn't heard represented thus far.

Josh-bashing? Hmm... *searches forum archive* Hmm. Yes, there's some stuff there about a guy called Josh, a lot of it posted by some folks that passed through on their way elsewhere over a year ago, by the looks of it.

Damn... Now I've had to find out who this Josh guy is - someone fill me in on the Dawking chap, will you? :dunno:
