In my view, Rodriguez exhibited some courage on September 11, 2001, as did hundreds and hundreds of other people. The vast majority of those who exhibited courage on September 11, 2001, however, have not made it their mission in life to try to become famous come hell or high water, for their actions on that day as Rodriguez has. Then again, the vast majority of those who exhibited courage on September 11, 2001 had not spent years of their lives prior to that day trying to garner fame, unsuccessfully, as Rodriguez had, and the vast majority of them are not about blowing their own horns for the sake of publicity, as Rodriguez is.
His actions in the past several years, however, have been self-serving, self-promoting, and anything but courageous. He has made it obvious that he will promote any and every crazy theory that is ever mentioned (see his lawsuit) for as long as he thinks there is something in it for him.
He has made it obvious that he will change his story whenever it suits him, and that he will run and hide from legitimate questions about his inconsistent accounts of events because he knows that he cannot justify or adequately explain the gross inconsistencies.
Even troofers are starting to have a problem with his blatant self-promotion, his ever-changing stories, and - more importantly from the troofer perspective - his interference with other troofers' economic interests (such as the View debacle, LTW pegging him as the source of a leak to the Post, and his stories about discussions with Charlie Sheen about a "Look At Me I'm William Rodriguez" movie rather than a LC movie, etc.)
Prediction: There will soon be a controlled demolition of the "WR is a Troofer SuperHero" meme, instigated by troofers but based upon Rodriguez' own actions. So perhaps it is more of a "self destruct by proxy" but hey, I couldn't resist the controlled demolition angle. Hmmmmm, what's the over/under on whether it is Rodriguez or the Troof Movement that "pulls it"?
