The story on Craig Jessop

The source is solid, and I will put him up against AAs or Exies any day (neither of which, based on what has been written here by the way, have contradicted anything I wrote).

It happened. I don't even know why I am bothering at this point. It is a story about the choir that I found interesting. Take it or leave it.

Cali, if you don't mind some advice. You really shouldn't give a crap if anyone believes you.

Use ex as an example. His record might be around 50%. However, he doesn't let that deter him in telling people he knows something and expects them to believe him.

In defense of the doubters, Cali gave us an at-best third hand account. I don't doubt Cali believes he is telling it like he heard it, but even then some editorializing occurs. We have no idea about possible embellishments by Cali's source.

The story sounds plausible and I take Cali's word that his source is a good one, hence it presents a framework of how things probably went down. It's the particulars that are there for our interpretation.

Whatever the circumstances that led to it, Jessop's resignation saddens me. Surely there was room for compromise that would have prevented this. I just don't understand people sometimes.

I just snorted. LOL.

The biggest problem is the premise that the resignation was due to a lack of compromise. There are all sorts of possible reasons for a resignation that don't involve ego clashes, artistic differences or unrighteous dominion.

Fair enough.

How many of them involve the employee failing to work as scheduled for the following two days only to show up on the fourth day, abruptly quit and leave?

Kind of like Luca Brasi?

Can I make a point which I think ought to be taken as modest and self-evident? The man left a good job (for a devout Mormon) obviously under, shall we say, unhappy circumstances. Did he not? Was there a going away party? A final, pre-arranged swan song in the Tabernacle with lots of happy tears? Expressions of gratitude from Jessop for having just spent his career's most rewarding and happy days working for his church? No, he was AWOL at several functions, then he abruptly announced his resignation, and has been mum ever since. Either he "resigned" like Nixon or Giacoletti did, or he got really pissed off at his bosses and quit. Can we agree on that much? Now, who were his bosses?

Cali's story rings true, does it not?

While we're here making wild accusations, maybe he went and Spence Kinarded someone.
