Elladorine, if I had just a smidgen of power at all I'd crown you goddess of wisdom, reason and compassion. Your writing is sublime and laced with a type of logic I am baffled to see in such scarcity. Ditto for estefan. You guys rock.

Divinity, with all due respect, please learn something from their writing. I won't say anything else because there is nothing I can possibly say that will top their posts.

More love less hate.

With all due respect, there is nothing I care to learn from either of them. I'll continue giving both the accuser and the accused the benefit of the doubt whether or not you choose to do so.

Elladorine, we need you here more often! You are very wise!

But, the thing is that he was found guilty of harassing/raping his wife and admitted to animal abuse. Why isn't he getting charged? Why are their teenagers with him?

Strange that not even Cartoon Brew has picked up on this.

I personally was happy to see posts from you Elladorine as I always find your commentary to be very thoughtful, well articulated, and well-reasoned, even when I don’t agree with the point you are making. I certainly hope you will post more often.

For the record, I agree with your points on this one. The court quite likely is weighing more evidence than the mainstream media is on this issue. Jim Cummings may be creepy, or his ex-wife may be a pathological liar, or maybe both. The fact is we don’t really know. We’ve only seen/heard the evidence that the mainstream media has passed along to us. For me, that’s not really enough to decide who is guilty and who is innocent here.

To your point, and I share your perspective here, the court of public opinion these days seems to be too quick to render decisions these days before all evidence is in.

Yes it's true elladorine, you did make a good post. But also, Jim Cumming's behavior is suspect. When accused of raping his wife in front of his daughter, he said it was more like he slapped her butt and they both laughed...?!!! He just sounds like he did what he did. Also, disneyprincess11 says he was found guilty. I also thought the wife was being prevented from seeing her kids for the time you pointed out? And she let Jim alone with the kids either because she had to or because she knew he wouldn't harm them, just her?

If he was found guilty, is there a source? How come more people aren't realizing then that he must have done it?!!!

FWIW, I agree with this. I've always liked Elladorine even when I do not agree with them.

From http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainmen ... story.html
"When the court found that the evidence presented by Stephanie supports a finding of sexual assault/rape, committed by James Cummings, only to then find that text messages sent by Stephanie threatening to disclose his years of abuse, both sexual and emotional, somehow has parity with his sexual deviance so as to support a finding that both Cummings and his wife should be viewed in the same light as primary aggressors, necessitating mutual restraining orders, that conclusion is lost on me,” he said....

He said he only “jokingly” sent her a picture of his underwear-covered body part after a lewd photo appeared on Weiner’s Twitter account in 2011.

He said his caption referenced Weiner’s “exposure incident” and talked about a “mutual friend” running for Congress to replace Weiner."

Oh. But that doesn't sound like he was found guilty by the judge, just that there was evidence.

Oh lord, and if that wasn't problematic enough, he said to call it the Wuhan virus instead of the Corona virus because "Corona is a nice place to live" implying Wuhan isn't. And of course to remind everyone that the Chinese ought to be blamed for this so let's put that in the title. Wasn't it said here that he was a Trump supporter? He may not be abusive to his wife but that doesn't mean he isn't problematic and this video alone told me all I need to know about him.

Then again, this video will probably win him some supporters from this forum who have an axe to grind with China. I can think of at least one specific user...

And people somehow still question whether he assaulted his ex-wife or not? It totally fits to his pattern of behavior, worldview, and personality.

Well, I remember saying that him being a Trump supporter said it all back when. Apparently that wasn't wrong. :lol:

It’s funny watching the new DuckTales and having a new guy voice Darkwing Duck. I get that Jim was supposed to play himself while a new guy takes over the character in the universe, but it’s still the same exact voice. I wonder if Disney is trying to subtly take him out of the company while limiting his roles?

Jim Cummings always gave me a weird vibe but women are totally capable of exaggerating or inventing completely a situation. One of the most absurd cases would be one in the UK version of Big Brother. This girl is completely insane, disgusting,delusional but also very dangerous:

I don't think that's the case.

^ about Cummings saying he was still going to hug his fans at cons, despite COVID.

JeanGreyForever pretty much explained it below my original post.
