Egomaniac Blogger Wightman-Cervantes Continues to Breath Fire

 

"They that dwell on the Earth shall wonder . . . . when they behold the Beast that was, and is not, and yet is" (Revelation 17:8).

      Some feel this apocalyptic scripture to have been fulfilled when fire-breathing local blogger Bobby Wightman-Cervantes watched his legendary blog descend into the lake of fire only to be rescuscitated, brought back to life by his own egomania. Visionary bloggers Mchale and Montoya refused to witness the death certificate until they saw clear evidence of rigor mortis, or to put it indelicately "the stiffness of death." This was providential as the "wild beast that had descended, now ascended out of the sea with more anger than before." BROWNSVILLE VOICE, Bobby's blog was back!

      Actually, shutting down one's Facebook page, blog or leaving a news group is an ancient internet ploy to engender love, support and devotion from cyberspace. Bobby WC is not the first blogger to threaten to leave his internet followers high and dry. Erasmo Dragustinovis once threatened to shutdown Brownsville Cheezmeh.  Too many longtime contributors to internet news groups have issued a lengthy "goodbye post", detailing their reasons for leaving the group only to be back posting within 24 hours. It's a cry for love, for support, for reassurance. Humans need that on the internet and in what little is left of their non-internet life.
 
      In Jerry Mchale's recent poetic lecture on mortality he surmised:

"My passing will be less significant than the splash precipitated by a seagull crapping over the ocean. I will return to my pre-birth state. I will be nothing. I don't know if a conscious supreme power presides over the universe. I do know that I don't figure in any one's plans. Within my limited comprehension of the incomprehensible, I believe that when you're dead, you're dead.

Yes, the fear of not being missed once we depart is a universal insecurity. If we have the means and the cheap labor we can have a pyramidal tomb erected. Or, we can fake our demise on the internet. Whatever works!

      Once out his self-imposed descent into the sea, blogger Bobby came at me with renewed fire-breathing vengeance, charging me with a cold-blooded "shakedown" of district attorney candidate Carlos Masso for advertising dollars and multiple lies in the retelling of the Fly Frontera fiasco story. Actually, I'm sort of weary of talking about Fly Frontera and simply referenced an earlier short post on the subject which evidently omitted appropriate credit to BROWNSVILLE VOICE in blocking the scam. Of course, Bobby's role was executed on his posterior behind a computer, not down at the city commission protesting, speaking against the foolhardy plan. His convoluted conspiracy theory involving Erasmo Dragustinovis, Rodrigo Moreno and Edward Camarillo is a frantic reach even for Bobby.

      Bobby's next petulant rant accused me of overt racism by publishing a picture of students at Texas Southern University, the institution from which Justice of the Peace Candidate Erin Hernandez Garcia received her law degree. Actually, it was Bobby who disparaged the school with these initial remarks in BROWNSVILLE VOICE:

"Erin Garcia failed to perform in college and on her LSAT which is why she attended the worst law school in Texas. It is the law school of last resort. It is the law school you go to once you have been rejected by every other law school in the state."  

     Bobby did not name the school, although Jerry Mchale did. In a followup article detailing the charges and countercharges, I also published a picture showing students from the school. It is a predominately black school, which was reflected in the picture. That has nothing to do with the school's academic credentials, but Bobby portrayed my coverage of the story as racist. Racism and homophobia are frequently used verbal assaults from this fire-breathing internet dragon, but notice Bobby's own expressions in this same article to make your own selection of racist bloggers. Notice how he describes a representative of the F.B.I. he says he met with:

"When I met this little racist shit Karen Chastine she addressed me as Mr. Cervanteeeeees. You would think before the FBI assigns someone to a community like Brownsville they would receive some race sensitivity training - yea - no this is the FBI. I corrected her and told her that under Spanish grammar you drop the second last name and only refer to the person by the first last name and that by the way it is pronounced "Cervantes" not Cervateeeeeeees. To prove her ignorance and imaginary power she went out of her way to say "I'm from the midwest Mr. Cervanteeeeeeees and will pronounce your last name as Mr. Cervanteeeeeeeeeees.This is the best the FBI can do for Brownsville - the assignment of a punk ass Midwestern Anglo with no respect for our culture."

Bobby's use of the expression "punk ass Midwestern Anglo" displays, not only overt racism, but regional bias. So, who really is the racist shit?

     But there's more. As the proverbial pot calling the kettle black, Bobby continues with remarks directed at Commissioner Zamora and Brownsville Cheezmeh:

"As an elected official promoting cheezmeh's public forum makes her a supporter of cheezmeh's active demand to vilify Jaime Gonzalez and defend the indefensible - it makes her a supporter of their racist, homophobic and antisemitic jokes."
 
Even with all of the above being said, it is obvious that the frequently ill-tempered, sometimes irrational Wightman-Cervantes has played a huge role in researching the many twists and turns of political corruption in our community. We welcome his blog's ascent out of the abyss.

    There is a Twitter account for a "BobbyCervantes." Does it belong to the blogger? If so, is he a self-hating heterosexual racist because he doesn't recognize his father's last name on Twitter?

  6. I'm not always in favor of the material in blogs but I do read them. One thing is certain, Jim is a better writer than Bobby WC. As a matter of fact, how can Bobby criticize someone else's English when he himself has problems expressing himself in writing? Bobby badly needs an editor!

  7. Why bother with Bubby? He's an insecure bawler, always wishing his world was better. Ignore him. That is punishment for that guy.

  9. (shutting down one's Facebook page, blog or leaving a news group is an ancient internet ploy to engender love)

    Thing is, WC's only experience in cyberspace is his stinking blog. Period. Otherwise he'd know not to try to use that ploy every other month or so. Because again, he ain't shutting it down.

  11. That was a useless, vindictive piece that served no purpose other to make you look nasty and small. You seemed to be better than that, Jim.

  12. The posting shown below appeared in the carebrownsville blog sometime back in the early part of November 2011:

    " Reading the postings of BWC sure says alot about the man. It is amazing to what depth he will stoop to in attempting to harm, villify, and persecute people he hates or disagrees with; his vengeance knows no end. He will stop at nothing and use whoever or whatever means necessary in trying to prove an indefensible point, no matter who gets screwed or caught in between. He will not accept defeat or admit he is wrong even if it is staring him point blank in the face. He is a dangerous creature who should be avoided at all costs. He's got nothing to lose in what he spews in the form of a blog being he has no decency or moral standards to live by. He thinks he knows it all and dons an air of superiority over everyone he deals with. He's been dealt a bad hand in the game of life so now every successful person has to pay the price for his misfortune. This person deserves every amount of pity an individual can receive. Pobrecito!!!"

    I could not agree more with the above posting!

    Actually, it was a very gentle, controlled response to the recklessness of Bobby WC. I'm always aware of Bobby's mental instability when I post, not wanting to be the one to send him over the edge. He does not have similar restraint, but makes wild condemnatory assertions based on his own fantasy. An egomaniac, existing in a vacuum, he has his own world apart from reality. Yes, he is to be pitied, but his lies and innuendo have to be gently nipped in the bud.
