Sad to say, Barry, your prediction failed miserably,
and your boast is demonstrably false.
Jim never responded to the post of yours you quote.
And of the 26 posts he had left when you made it,
only three (3) were addressed to you, each of them in
response to an additional three (3) you'd made
demonizing him.
You made one other post demonizing him to which he
didn't respond.
IOW, you had to spend five of your posts to elicit
three from Jim. After you made the post you quote,
18 of his remaining posts had nothing at all to do
with you.
Moreover, of the five posts you made demonizing him,
four were LONG tirades.
In contrast, two of the three posts Jim made in
response to your five were brief, humorous brushoffs.
(The first of the three was serious and longer,
explaining why he'd been pissed off at the reaction
he got when he first announced his self-realization
here years ago, and noting that as a result of his
further development, jibes from you and others no
longer bothered him.)
Bottom line:

("Rest of this week" = Thursday and Friday)
What we saw was that Jim didn't react at all to the
post you quote, and that you had to make four
additional posts, three of them LONG, to get him to
respond with two quick brushoffs and one serious
post.
IOW, you were in no way responsible for his going
over his limit by one post, any more than were any
of the other people he responded to over the course
of the week. (In fact, your dittohead the do.rk did
a better job than you did, eliciting *five*
responses on Friday from Jim with his crude one-
liner insults. You need to give him a raise.)
Face it, you're a pathetic failure. ;-)
