Early in the clown fandom, Rufo the Clown had taken stage for some of us and people got to see and know of the other horror clowns in the genre.
And other wonderful writers in the genre.
Rufo, amongst other popular characters such as his rival Jonathan Crowley, was created by the man, James A. Moore. I am very happy to say I got to know James a bit when one day he took a peak into the fandom world and had seen his murderous clown had a good number of fans. Fans who were creating in all sorts of ways.
James loved nothing more than to see people write. To tell a story. To see their work come to life. He had such a delight seeing everything that was made.
In the unfortunate news, James passed away March 27th from his battle with cancer.
I would love nothing more than for more love and passion for creativity to be shared and spread out. If you can, find his work and support it. He wrote over 50+ stories not only for horror but mystery, Sci fi, and even aided in comics and tabletop games. He had many books of collaborative pieces with other authors and friends.
James and his work meant very much to me. I had gotten into writing from the Pennywise fandom, but when James told me he liked my work, that's what kept me going. To know the man I admired and writing gave me chills had enjoyed words I created, which has lit such a spark in me that I will make sure never goes out. He had inspired so many, and I hope he will continue to inspire for future generations of authors.
James, you will be dearly missed. I wish there had been a chance for us to meet, especially waltzing into the horror cons you'd go to as your clown, Rufo. I know I wouldn't have been a very tall Rufo, but that's the hoot of it. Maybe one day I will still be down the years from now. We just have to wait longer to get to meet.
Rest easy, my friend. Gray skies are gonna clear up ❤️🎪🩵

Harvard's Snooty Snobs SLAMMED for Denigrating Chris Rufo's Degree
In the wake of the resignation of Claudine Gay as the president of Harvard, leftists have found themselves in an embarrassing frenzy of rage-addled excuse-making for the prolific plagiarist and attacks against those who called her out.
Chris Rufo was one of Gay's biggest critics and also of DEI and other progressive ideologies infiltrating American academia.
Graduates of the illustrious David Hogg University, also known as 'Havard', wasted no time making a mockery of their alma mater in an attempt to belittle Rufo.
It started with an article from The New Republic that claimed Rufo was falsely passing himself off as a Harvard grad even though he went to the Harvard Extension School … a school of Harvard University.
It quickly became clear that attendees of the extension school are regarded as second-class citizens by 'real' (their words) Harvard degree holders.
This should come as no surprise given that one of the primary reasons for attending such a school is to allow these people to pretend they're better than the rest of us.
I read that whole thing and nowhere did it explain how Ex-President Gay didn’t break ethical standards and codes of conduct that everyone else at Harvard is bound by. Did I miss a paragraph?— ThorChiggins PHD (@ThorChiggins) January 5, 2024
Yep. You'll find none of that in there because it's just a hit piece because they're still seething over Gay being forced to the off-ramp. Buh-bye.

Rufo responded to the article:
There were plenty of folks who thought this was a real smoking gun. They were generally progressives who would have preferred to ignore Gay's plagiarism.
'Standard of ethics', she said.
What happened to that standard of ethics?
Look, we understand why Harvard degree holders are proud of purchasing such an expensive status symbol. There have, after all, been many brilliant and well-known individuals who have studied at the school over the years:
Antonin Scalia - King of the Supreme Court.
Matt Damon - went on to pretend to be a really smart person.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas - Randy Taylor and Simba.
Helen Keller - Bidenomics coordinator.
Ted Kennedy - expert swimmer.
Neil deGrasse Tyson - star of memes.
Theodore Roosevelt - considered by many to be a highly successful president.
Barack Obama - considered by many to be a president.
Al Gore - inventor of the Internet.
Ted Kaczynski - explosives expert.
Isoroku Yamamoto - air travel agent for Pearl Harbor.
Robert Oppenheimer - see Isoroku Yamamoto.
Of course, no list of esteemed Harvard grads would be complete without A.J. Delgado, known for … posting on Twitter/X. She probably could have learned how to do that at a local community college, to be honest.
There's that attitude we've come to expect from our Ivy League betters.
In case it's not clear, most of us out here in real-America aren't nearly as impressed with degrees from Pompous U. as the holders of the degrees are.
Miss 'Harvard real-degree' Delgado is boasting on Twitter/X while Rufo is getting real work done. We can understand why she's so salty.
A little bit of ad hominem, a pinch of appeal to authority, and there you have it - a recipe for 'so what if the president of my super prestigious university is a cheat, I'm better than you!'
As you might expect, the people of Twitter/X had zero room for such pretentiousness.
Just to be clear, there are people who graduated or worked at Harvard who aren't stuck-up snobs. The elitist ones just really like to tell everyone.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Delgado was steaming in reply to commenters:
She continued: ' … for some clown to come and say his online courses nonsense is the same. That’s not elitist- that’s stopping some a**hole from depriving me of what I earned … '
For those of you who do not speak Real-Harvardian, A.J.'s words roughly translate into English as 'REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!'
She kept doubling down, simply because she wanted to keep saying she has a 'Harvard' degree. It's okay to laugh. We are.
The entire display was cringe-tacular. Harvard should send better representatives.
The feedback was not good for Delgado, and there was TONS of it.
The entire debacle brought up another aspect of Delgado's haughty view of the Harvard Extension School that hurled another layer of mud atop Harvard's reputation.
Why is the university selling 'Harvard' degrees to students if they're not 'real' Harvard degrees?
Bingo. Clearly, Harvard has no issue selling its name to would-be students at the other schools of Harvard University or explicitly telling them they will earn a Harvard degree.
It's best to just ignore them. After all, regardless of what they think of Rufo's degree, he's kicking their tails at every turn.
Pretty good for a guy without a 'real' Harvard degree.
The arrogance is pervasive.
Imagine speaking this way about the people who pay your salary.
There are always going to be the A.J. Delgados out there, looking down their noses at the rabble who didn't get the 'real' degree.
'Y'all suck.' Couldn't have said it better ourselves.
LOL.
Well done, King. Enjoy your ivory towers, snobs. Our people are friendlier and much more fun.
