JBo KO’d

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.

Well he's trying to get hits on this other completely unrelated story, so that could be construed as trying to promote some other site, which is frowned upon. CF isn't here to promote The Iowa Informer. If there's a relevant story it makes some sense to post, but he's just spamming random stuff.

So if I were looking for a reason to send him on his way, it would be that.

Oh nothing really. Just was responding to those who wanted him to boot.

What is going on here? Could someone fill me in on the last few pages of this thread?

jbo got knocked out, someone grabbed a paper copy of the Informer (from a while back where the story about Carson King was written by Aaron Calvin) to help stop the bleeding from Jbo's serious head injury, and it made the editor of the Informer come on this site to defend the story that was seen...then, an angry online mob showed up with pitchforks and torches...and here we are.

But I was just told that any poster has the RIGHT to post anything they want in any thread they want. You mean that isn't correct?

That's not what I said try reading it again:

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.

I've read the piece - (actually read it again, yesterday) - that bit was completely unrelated to anything the story was about.

I'm a NASCAR fan, so that'd be like writing about Rick Hendrick's record-tying 268th win this weekend, with an excerpt about how he committed mail fraud in the 90s and still feels bad about it.

Frankly - I thought the editor was the one who should have been publicly shamed in the first place.

Aaron and the Register **** on a guy raising money for a children's charity. The backlash caused other donors to back out of matching funds for that charity. Carson King got his reputation dragged through the mud over a quote from a TV show when he was a teenager.

Even if it was the one negative thing in the article, it's still the only thing people remember from that article. Many people just assumed he was a terrible person because the Register chose to print that about him.

Intelligent people figured out that Carson King is a genuinely good person in spite of efforts to smear his name to add something edgy to their story.

To be fair, the register is mostly hot garbage as a whole and has many reasons to dislike it more so than just this particular massive f*ck up.

Its the truth. I understand you're pretty truth-averse though.

Like I said, for those interested in acting in good faith. It's easy to ****-talk and be a douchebag online, I promise you I do not give a **** about your opinions.

That takes some journalistic chops to lay out a premise in the first half of a sentence and then prove it in the second half.

If you think I posted that link to get clicks for the site, you fundamentally misunderstand how it operates. My site analytics linked to this thread. There was an Informer article posted in response to a comment about Parizek and his radio activities. The article I posted directly discusses this in considerable depth. I didn't expect anything other than the ad hominem nonsense that was posted. But if you'd read the article I posted, you might have gotten the point. I enjoy discussing what goes on behind the scenes quite a bit, actually; it's nothing like the assumptions that have been made in these forums on numerous occasions now.

I actually have more info on the subject but I think I'll wait lol

Carson King - Philanthropist working for sick kids to improve their outlook in life
alarson - defender of trash human beings/publicaitons

So much truth it hurts.

What's dumb about what I posted alarson? I just posted the consequences of the actions you laid out in your post. There was no reason at all to include a random social media post from years ago into the story. I know Busch pulled their offer to match the funds raised. I'm not sure if they ever changed their mind or not, but the effect of the story was that money that could have been raised for a children's charity were not donated because of the story.
It went national for the goodwill that was being done and then everything went silent after the Register story.

What am I saying that is "dumb" or in any way false?

Maybe the thread will clear out a bit. Or you could abandon ship and move the flag to a new thread. Maybe the deplorables won't follow?
