Time is ripe to pay tribute to a much maligned, misunderstood, and mistaken carbon-based life form. Yes, I’m talking about his Eminence Confusionius, holy erehwon direction, and un-editorialness, the ever beloved, befuddled and bewitched JJ.
Writing a nice piece here, about any topic, is much like pissing in your dark pants. Makes you feel warm but no one notices. And it is not just because there are very few people to notice, but because finding a silver coin in a dumpsite is a thankless job.
It is important to note historic accomplishments and clusters of JJ, the sole author, editor, copywriter, employee, boss, BOD, shareholder and social guru of Iranianooni chasing stars and discovering Tropic of Cancer in Andes mountains:
-
A site with total blog freedom. From insult and injury and name calling, to endless daily drivel because there is no limit on number of blogs, length, width, depth. It does not matter what nonsense you write, you can publish and at least 3 people will read it.
-
You can blog about something, then complain why no one reads its majestic content, then you come back and blog why your blog was ignored, and then delete it after 20 names (same 3 people) have commented during the 3 months it was sitting on the home page
-
A site with no standard. Period. And there lies JJ’s genius
-
You can praise anyone and put down anyone. Truth, substance, fact or talent is irrelevant. Just make sure picture you upload fits, and when writing English and Persian together correct various idiosyncrasies
-
Completely ignore your best writers no matter how elegantly and softly they point out issues including endless attacks by the usual suspects; until they disappear and you end up with a false news like social website where truth is not truth and facts are in the eyes of the beholder
-
It is ridiculously easy to build a website and promote. Political, activist, or porno for that matter. Yet some like Fred & Co unable or unwilling to spend the required $11 or so it takes, and torture all with unending daily drivel in defense of Zionism and Israel and inexplicably connecting it to well-being of Iran and Iranians
-
JJ has Teflon exterior. No matter what you say, will slide right off of him. Much like Teflon that lasts a long time if you keep using plastic wear on it, it takes forever to get thru to him with anything as soft as words. Much like Trite, NIAC, Behnood, or his cousin AMD. In all cases they are great people and only misguided, misunderstood; and we need more of them. Damn the evidence
-
A variety site that became purely political then invaded by Islamists, NIAC, Zionists, Trumpollahis and now a gavshotorpalang. A child only a father like JJ can recognize let alone love
-
Covers Machu Picchu and surrounding hoods on a regular basis
-
Is love and sex deprived and calls it ‘me too sexy’' albeit in self deprecation
-
He is a good reflection of Iran and Iranians. Talabkar or bedehkar. Always with opinion on everything under the Sun, and not subject to change, modification or flexibility

I have hardly touched the surface but in all fairness if you had a site like this and running around with Alpacas, you would not do it any better or differently. It is the law of diminishing returns. Easier to blame bloggers, Irooni culture, politics and everything else and just let it flow and make clicks to pay the bill.
Like a similar one for Iranian a long time ago, I may have inadvertently written A Requiem for Iroon.
Oh so Now being Talabkar and bedehkar ...Like JJ is purported be, Is a trademark for iranians. Wow. Aaaaamazing. I just had to pick this one out because, frankly my dear, the rest of your blog was not really worth reading , And i mean that in the most respectful and "flexible" way. Seriously, Needs some work.
But really, It is funny you should say that given the fact that you live in the states or Canada. I mean, Iranians have made an Art , out of Taking advantage of all the flexibility and modifiability when it comes to doing pretty much everything, in those two countries and sometimes they even push the envelope to the maximum limit....and yet...There are people who have the audacity to critcize that.Maybe you should ponder on that in your second , follow-up blog.
The best way to describe Iroon, and Iranian.com before that is the random bar fights at the old wild west where people punching and hitting each other, some folks sitting at the poker table and ignoring everything, music playing in the background, the working girls flirting, and the sheriff is upstairs with one of the girls!
What a way to start your day!

I believe Faramarz nailed this one! But before i go remeber boys Israel is our cultural startegic and historical ally and U.S senate, get to sanctioning or something along that line.
Only if I may, I too have some bullets to insert here:
Faramarz, very good depiction. This topic is like enema, it feels good afterwards and we've had it before :) http://iroon.com/irtn/blog/8335/
MRX, ::))
I came up with more bullets...
- Two of the aforementioned 3 readers, attack, poor grammer and all, before reading or comprehending the topic. Or per Faramarz's video, throw a punch while you are hanging at the bar
-The blocking never works right; else, I would not be seeing whatever nonsense this lonely alpha minimalist is saying
-Iroon is an entertainment site and putting up with lousy comments and authors is part of the entertainment
Poor Grammer indeed:))))
One more bullet:
-It's like a breeze from the sewer treatment facility when ignorami with no history try to sound literate even if they cannot tell a grammatical error from a typo :)
Appropo to last line of this blog, this turned out to be a requiem.
After review of some related comments and blogs and the ever more agonizing feeling when I click on this site, I changed the title of blog to more appropriately reflect the state of Jroon. I declare this site a walking dead and not worth the bits it consumes.
Nah.....come on now, you can't expect much from the uneducated vulgar crowd (actually there's only two, perhaps one) who come here to attack those who diasgree with them. It's the classic case when there's no tolerance for others' point of view.
این جور آدم ها هیچوقت آدم نمیشن - حالا هر هکی میخاد در قدرت باشه و دلیلی که ایران همون گهی که بوده میمونه
Dear Ex_CoP,
Agree.
The goons and clueless are easy enough to ignore and too busy conversing and embarrassing themselves.
The problem is JJ's dyslexia and inability to take hints, help or direction; and plenty has been provided by many who have since left. He does not seem to grasp the basic and simple concept that without good bloggers he and Iroon are nothing. Combined with his extreme political ignorance it is reminiscent of the old saying:
دشمن دانا به از نادان دوست
Yeah, but I'd discount the troll(s), ignore him (them). There's a maximum of 2 posters with multi-IDs who pollute this site.
If you're not a trump ass-kisser like they are, then you are regime agent, etc. Just imagine, if this is the oppostion that we have against the ragime, then no wonder Iran is sinking deeper into the shit hole that was created some 4 decaded ago.
These maggots don't count - They're like......that fuzz ball that collects above your butt crack before taking a shower - delete their stiupid posts and carry on.
I guess JJ likes this kind of dynamics on the site as he believes it's good for ....business? I say it actually hurts the site. It turns off potential contributors that can add to the site, not make it what it has become because of this (these) troll(s).
