Some D-bag who plays basketball for Iowa
You said you don’t care about opinions from people online; CF posters are all online. If, that wasn’t your point, then what is it? Looks like you may be just looking for clicks.
Oh thought you were referring to Jorbo. People typically don’t have a clue who he is, even in Iowa City.
wow...this site continues to impress me...threads can lead to anywhere

Big Serious Journalist signs up for an account on CycloneFanatic to debate ISU fans because someone made a mean comment about his little publication. The irony of you saying you don’t care about our opinions is absolute comedy.
I saw that the Informer was getting some inbound links from this forum again and couldn't stop myself from taking a look. As the site's editor, I can assure you that you aren't accurately describing what went into the reporting and editing of this particular story, but I'm also well aware of how some of you continue to mischaracterize the Carson King situation at the Register — in a manner that, frankly, borders on obsession sometimes. I'll spare myself the trouble of engaging with you on that as well as a couple of the other ill-informed comments on this thread, aside from saying that Aaron is doing just fine and contributed to the Informer in the recent past, as he was also freelancing for several prominent national publications with readership in the hundreds of thousands or millions, because he believes in the site's purpose.
For those of you who have an interest in engaging in good faith, I'd encourage you to read the article linked below for a sense of how Paul Parizek operates, and as an example that's actually related to the comment that led to the comment I've quoted above. It's a deeply researched and important investigative story that took us months to put together and is one of the best examples on the site of why I launched it five years ago.

On a warm evening last year in late August, a crowd gathered at Edna Griffin Park in the River Bend neighborhood on the near north side of Des Moines. Into the street, organizers assembled them in …iowainformer.com
Aaron Colvin railroaded a kid raising money (millions) for a children's hospital. He's despicable scum. He's as un-iowan as a human being can possibly be. You defending him is pathetic. You employing him is disgusting. You being here is sad.I saw that the Informer was getting some inbound links from this forum again and couldn't stop myself from taking a look.

I do not plan to boot "Aaron" more fun to watch him sink himself.
And Aaron had much much more offensive social media posts himself....not just a silly quote of a show from years ago.
Great. How about we do so in politics so we aren't restrained in what we can say?
Just curious what would you actually boot him for? Has he broke any of the site rules? Yeah the thread got derailed but that almost always happens in one way or another.
Railroaded?
He was publishing an overwhelmingly positive piece, was asked by his editors to do a routine background search on him, and towards the end of that overwhelmingly positive piece, included a bit about what was in that background.
What's disgusting is that you spread ill-informed drivel like this when you clearly never read the piece, you just joined the rage of people who hated the register well before anyone knew who Carson King was.
What is going on here? Could someone fill me in on the last few pages of this thread?
