Been over a decade since I had any contact with him. I wonder if his writing career took off |

Was that his handle? Or his real name? Or both? Maybe? Question marks? |

That's his real name, though it could be "Jonathan" and not "Jonathon" he had a few handles but I mostly just remember him as a very talented writer who would drop these really well thought out and analytical posts when most of us were still calling each other fag and ass. He signed most his posts with his full name. He tore C8B a new one once and just completely justified and backed up everyone who had a problem with him. Could be the reason he quit. |

I'll be the judge of that. Did he call c8b "c8wigger"? That's the cornerstone of any c8b trolololo, low brow or high brow. |

I wish we had an archive of nes forums, but he basically said something like c8b must have a lot of hurt in his life either as a kid or an adult and can't trust people because he probably has had meaningful relationships quit on him so he burns bridges before he can ever feel rejection, hence all the site hacking and name calling all of us. He then ended it like "I can never take insults personally from someone lording over a geocities page who goes through staff faster than his employment lasted at KFC." It was crazy Also scene historians out there, was he the only Ivy League scener? |

Johnathan Raspheral was born in 1951 in Ithaca, New York. He wrote his first book 'Pride of the Boondoggles' A book about a midget baseball team in 1972. He self published it. It sold 44 million copies in South East Asia (he has a huge following there). Other books written by him where 'The Spectacular Adventure of Rodney Right' 'The Amazing Machines of Marvin' and 'Willy' Johnathan Raspheral went to Harvard from 1969 to 1972. He graduated Magna Cum Laude. Johnathan Raspheral got a Nintendo when he broke both of his legs in a skiing accident and was hooked on Dig Dug 2, and Rush N Attack. I saw him beat both of them without dying. Johnathan Raspheral became my best friend in 2008 and sadly passed away in 2015. I will miss him very much. |

That's why you neeed to read his book from 1989 called Willy. It came to him after is brother Randolph Raspheral Jr. died. It's a beautiful piece of literature about a tall man with the smallest hands who only wanted to bring joy and ends up dying prematurely due to greed, but changes another man's life for the better. it's a beautiful story. I highly recommend it. |
