Dumb, Dumber, and then there is beyond blue stupidity of McManamy

Dumb, Dumber, and then there is beyond the great blue sky stupidity of John McPimp McManamy

I gather since Mr. Johnny McPimp has no readership beyond a few whack jobs like "Herb" of many names, faces, a blow up doll or two, and his VNS promotion; Gina Pera (who like Johnny Boy wrote a worthless book promoting them selves as some kind of supposed expert) who constantly goes around the blog world attacking any blog that would dare question the failed Psychiatric modality, question Big PhARMA's evil ways, question the DSM-V and all it's irrelevance, or may point fingers at all those greedy doctors caught with their hands in the ghost writing and unethical pay off cookie jar.


Johnny McPimp even has that "Take a Prozac a day to keep those blues away" Therese Borchard another "PsychCentral Award" whiner promoting his attack mongering; while featuring his swine discharge writing on her drug promoting apologist blog.

So I guess it's time to give McPimp some of the attention and love he so richly deserves once again.


Some quotes and a review of Mr. Johnny Boy McPimp for everyone:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More blathering self aggrandizement from space balls

McManamy, a Psych Central 2007 award winner:

"As to best of web from PsychCentral, Grohol went over to the dark side some time ago. He has been Dawdy’s chief legitimizer since day one. Grohol gets a weird kick out of hanging out with the bad boys. Grohol frequently cites Dawdy as an authority, and at least twice he has bashed me citing Dawdy as the authority and linking to his blog and not mine. Screw that for a joke. Grohol can burn in hell. In July, Grohol actually handed out an outstanding journalism award to Dawdy."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course Johnny Boy may hold a little resentment toward PsychCentral after being tossed to the curb as a "Paid Expert Patient" on their site. I guess when he took distasteful pop shots at his friends, ex-porking buddies, and ex-wives while trashing them on his forum; we might conclude this didn't sit to well with the PsychCentral management.

You have to wonder what they were expecting in all truth? It's not like Johnny Boy is a real journalist or professional writer; just one more poor excuse for a expert patient (in other words one of those proud card carrying NAMI BIPOLAR people).

McPimp has a fairly torrid reputation around the blogosphere as a real ladies man; writing shamelessly about his conquest as if it was part of his recover process (he reportedly now takes a small dose of mood stabilizer also from what I understand). I have to wonder if he's popping a few of those little blue magic barney pills with his medication regiment to boot ?

Yet he keeps prodding along, as he travels round to many of the big NAMI , APA, and like events kissing some serious behind in a lame attempt at gaining a little credibility. All the while combing the geriatric isle for his next "meal ticket" love interest.

Did you know he even got the notorious Dr. Goodwin (of take the Pharma money and run fame) to write a foreword for his little endeavor into Bipolar book land.

Living Well With Depression and Bipolar Disorder: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You ... That You Need to Know

by John McManamy; New York, HarperCollins, 2006, 416 pages, $14.95

Gregory Ludwig

....."McManamy is a former financial journalist with a law degree who was given a diagnosis of bipolar disorder at age 49. He has run a self-funded Web site and published an e-mail newsletter for several years that reports and comments on studies, conference proceedings, and more. He has developed a fan base."

....."McManamy's book has surprising errors. For example, he notes the DSM-II as from 1980 when it is from 1968. He also liberally quotes from patients' Internet writings on his Web site, which can sound chattery, impulsive, and unvetted."

....."McManamy's claim that he is liberally alerting people to the wealth of what's out there may seem to be in good faith but may it be naïve and credulous, or even a con at worst. The book also fails to present the views of those who know very much about themselves from years of nonmedical personal struggle and self-discipline. This book is a useful supplement but by no means is it essential or magisterial."

Looks like the book didn't make the grade at the APA level for knowledge necessity.

McPimp really got upset when I took Kay Jamison (I gather he got all googly eyed over her at a dinner some years back) to task on my blog, and my personal opinion that Vincent Von Gogh possibly would have never painted his great works if he lived in today's Failed Great Drugging Modality.

McPimp appears to believe he would have done great on a variety of psychotropic poisons and would have won an academy award while being drugged into a stupor. I thought he painted McCon?

Johnny Boy McCon just loves to get in the sand box and play dirty as we can all see so clearly in his fantasy writings and aggrandized ego projecting opinions.

I wrote about Johny Boy McPimp once before here on this blog, while receiving great accolades, cheers, and acclaim for my blunt honesty.

http://bipolar-stanscroniclesandnarritive.blogspot.com/2009/03/john-mcpimp-is-reading-my-blog.html

Johnny Boy really gets off on attacking real writers and journalist (like Philip Dawdy @ Furious Seasons blog or just about anyone else that would question Psychiatry, the Drug Industry, or his corrupt meal ticket hero's). So I can just imagine he'll be breathing hard after reading this bit of promotion (keep your inhaler handy).

interesting reading and comments: http://www.furiousseasons.com/archives/2009/10/mcmanamy_tries_criticizing_me_again.html

The time has now come to call out these blogs that support personal attacks on Philip; while wishing to diminish his well intentioned message and news reporting as simply "anti-psychiatry" on their blogs; while allowing personal attacks upon him by malicious individuals like "herb" and other sorted characters.

I will remind each of them here, that turn about is fair play in this blog world! Please ask yourself this simple question: Do you really want to be in the middle of a flame war?

The warning shot has been fired to the following blogs:

Beyond Blue

The Trouble With Spikol - another "PsychCentral award" winner
comment section example being Checking in With Andy Behrman | The Trouble With Spikol

The McPimp - His "Knowledge Is Not Necessity blog"

As a fond farewell, please have a glass of this fine wine. CHEERS
