Andrew Juge vs. Sean Pamphilon: Friday Night Twitter War Supreme

Friday sure seemed to me like a quiet enough night in the world, but boy, was I wrong.

Insiders AND sources with knowledge of the situation have informed me that there was a most 'interesting and heated' exchange of tweets Friday night between Andrew Juge (CSC contributor and owner/operator of thesaintsnation.com blog), Sean Pamphilon (the "Steve Gleason story" filmmaker who released the Gregg Williams audiotape that rocked the world), and some other fine Saints fans/bloggers with whom we are familiar here @ CSC.

More on the Twitter tea party after the jump.

Near as I can tell from the date/time stamps, here's how it started...(my apologies in advance if my format is stilted/hard to follow. This is my first twitter slap-flight play-by-play recap, and i must admit I'm struggling with the chronology.)

Saints Nation Blog But wait Sean, arent you media? Amirite @JeffDuncanTP ? RT @seanpamphilon: James Harrison is another athlete Media has gotten wrong.

Sean Pamphilon ‏ @SaintsNationBlg @jeffduncantp I'm not media, bro. I'm an independent filmmaker doing it all on borrowed buckles and dimes...read up

Held Over ‏@SaintsNationBlg You'll have to wait for an answer. The League hasn't told Jeff how to respond just yet.

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon @jeffduncantp sarcasm, bro. Read up.

Then Andrew landed a few before Sean could get back to him in this run...

Saints Nation Blog @seanpamphilon your moral code calls for you to pile on, but you'd NEVER be a whistleblower. Yeah, that all adds up.

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon which is it? Either you've got a moral obligation to share audio or you don't. Being the original source shouldn't factor in

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg are you in some dark basement with a remote control in one hand Dorritos in another wishing you knew how to actually write?

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon you're actually pretty close. You really are "tru"! Righteous! #tru(th)

Held Over ‏@seanpamphilon @saintsnationblg You're s****ing me, right? They don't have basements in NOLA. Read up...

In the midst of all this, Andrew also offered some advice to James Harrison:

Saints Nation Blog ‏@jharrison9292 careful letting Sean Pamphilon around you. He likes to stab you in the back.

Then the back and forth continued:

Saints Nation Blog @seanpamphilon if you're the authority on who's a good person, then we're all toast

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg your ignorance and judgment without actual facts is amusing. I'm wheat toast and you are wonder bread my talentless critic

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon talentless? Have you ever seen me with a guitar?

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg no, but I would suggest you take it to a place in NOLA and contribute something positive to the awesome music scene.

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg go interview someone with a hard shell and see if you can engage them and bring their nature to the surface.Not easy, dude

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon what does this have to do with my issue of your premise that you'd never whistleblow?

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg you can't whistle blow when a story already broke. Sean Pamphilon Boston University Broadcast journalism degree 1993

Saints Nation Blog @seanpamphilon you said you would have never gone public if the story wasn't already out. Not tru?

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg you are boring me. I'm going for a run. Seriously, I have no I'll feelings toward any of you, but you don't me or Steve

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon fair enough. Have a nice run

Andrew and Kevin really seemed to enjoy themselves here, building on Andrew's retweet...

Saints Nation Blog ‏#fail RT @seanpamphilon: I'm not media, bro. I'm an independent filmmaker doing it all on borrowed buckles and dimes...read up

Held Over ‏@SaintsNationBlg he's not "media" brosef. He's "multimedia." BIG difference, broheim. #wanking

Saints Nation Blog ‏@hakimdropsball hahahahaha

Held Over @SaintsNationBlg I'm feeling salty tonight. Too much Doritos and spinach dip.

Saints Nation Blog ‏@hakimdropsball there is a remote in one hand. I just picked brewskis over the Doritos bag

Here's more from Andrew and Sean:

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon trust me, I've read all about how "tru" you are.

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg truth shall set you free and no shackles bind me.Go love your family and find a positive outlet and new vocation.Seriously

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon that's my issue. You're a "good person" for going public w/ audio. You're "tru". But u would never have been original source

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon so why not? You either have the moral obligation to go public or you don't. Which is it?

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg I was waiting for the blessing of the friend you think I f***** over, genius.

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon which, according to him, you never got. But you moved forward anyway. Yeah, that was totally by the book.

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg your fiction is most definitely stranger than my truth. Go tell a friend or family member you love them. Be positive.

And here's an exchange between Andrew and the Who Dat Dish related to the above that occurred later...

Who Dat Dish ‏@SaintsNationBlg I asked Mike Silver who "broke" the story and is also his friend why SP waited 3 months..said the reasons would bore me..ok

Saints Nation Blog ‏@whodatdish still don't have a straight answer. Because there isn't one.

Here's another thread I pieced together...

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon you know, as much as I think you pulled a weak move... That's not the part that really gets me. Plenty of selfish people...

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon it's that you insult the public's intelligence by suggesting this all somehow makes you a good person.

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg you are missing the point. I was a good person before this. Having to take s*** from you makes me a tired person

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon didn't realize the two were mutually exclusive. I'd hate to fathom you struggle to sleep at night.

Andrew and Gene find some common ground about it here...

Gene Higginbotham ‏ @saintsnationblg It's like I told Silver, I'm all for doing what's right, but not under the blanket of convenience

Saints Nation Blog ‏@G_Higg EXACTLY!!!!!

Saints Nation Blog ‏@G_Higg I'm glad someone finally gets my point. It's really not that complicated.

Gene Higginbotham ‏@SaintsNationBlg Pamphilon said he wouldn't have gone public if investigation hadn't started. Sorry, doesn't add up. #MoralDilemma

Saints Nation Blog ‏@G_Higg yep. That's my major issue here

Another thread that went late into the night and over into the next day...

Held Over ‏That's a joke right? "@SaintsNationBlg: WOW RT @seanpamphilon: go ask Steve what I brought to his life. Seems to me his profile has grown"

Sean Pamphilon ‏@hakimdropsball @saintsnationblg I have no I'll will toward Steve whatsoever, but Team Gleason is a marketing machine that lied about me.

Held Over ‏@seanpamphilon @saintsnationblg I'm referring to the "his profile has grown" comment. #Saints fans canonized Gleason before we did Brees.

Sean Pamphilon @hakimdropsball @saintsnationblg There is a BIG world tour outside of NOLA...Thousands of articles about betrayal. Very few about punt.

Held Over ‏@seanpamphilon @saintsnationblg Sad thing is, that world fame will be just a blip. The world spins on, but Steve will stay immortal in NOLA.

Sean Pamphilon ‏@hakimdropsball @saintsnationblg Immortality is overrated. Loving your family and friends matters. Steve does that. He is loved deeply

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon sorry I missed your comments last night. I took your advice and was busy loving my family and improving my talentless writing

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg hugs are good. stress subsides and gives one perspective. I said that because you were f'n w me. I can't play guitar.

More from after lunchtime on Saturday...

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon You're getting out of line. So are some of your attackers. But why don't you follow the advice you gave me?

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon Do something positive.

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg I just changed a dialed and positively loved it. Smell the air. Love your kids. Hug your friends and humor the haters.

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon since you're so big on unsolicited advice, I'll give you some: stop taking the bait & killing the little respect you have

Sean Pamphilon ‏@SaintsNationBlg Haters need love too. I don't need you to respect me. I identify w James Harrison. Check out "theusof.com" to get it.

...before it all seemed to end here:

Sean Pamphilon @SaintsNationBlg I'm on the treadmill sweating away their toxic energy listening to awesome Kyle Turley tunes. http://GridironRecords.com.Check it

Saints Nation Blog ‏@seanpamphilon well, have fun on twitter with the haters. Later.

Sean Pamphilon @SaintsNationBlg retrace the steps, dude. You were the hater fire starter yesterday. You are shutting down because I schooled you. Bye-bye

Holy Crap, what a storm that was...Andrew, Kevin, and others involved, please add what i missed or anyone who understands Twitter threads and chronology better than me, let me know what I mangled. Here's the official Saints Nation blog twitter page that hosted all my research. I tried to piece a coherent whole together to recreate the debate, but at times it felt like I was Being John Malkovich as my brain folded in on itself...
