"Jim needs to feel the flames. He's a
coward encouraging other cowards, and he
should be punished severely.
Nothing is too extreme for him."
-- Anonymous@7:15 p.m., criticizing my reporting about a Wausau Daily Herald reader whose identity was given to a government official he criticized anonymously on the paper's website.
You suck, Jim.
ReplyDeleteFirst Amendment, Jimmy.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't take the heat, perhaps you should get out of the kitchen.
Jim:
ReplyDeleteFlames are negative comments -- negative posts on a blog.
Are you really this dumb, or are you just trying to escalate anything you latch onto?
I disagree, 11:21 PM. Flames are ocmments like the Wausau super being fat. Writing that Jim should be punished severely for providing a website for Gannett employees and other interested parties to speak candidly without the approval of Big Brother is a threat, not a flame.
ReplyDeleteBesides, to 11:08 PM, Jim leaves flames against him up, so you can hardly say he's not taking the heat. I think it's you who may be having trouble with the "heat" of him highlighting this post.
It's his blog. He can highlight it if he wants to. If you (or maybe some other person who posted it) doesn't like it, get out of the kitchen, yourself.
I think Jim can be silly and push his own agenda by trying to stir things up. I think at least half the time Jim is just taking out his anger for and on Gannett any way he can.
ReplyDeleteThat said, there is nothing to be gained by being mean.
Ahhh, the elite is out in full force on this. How refreshing to see they are not all asleep and doing something productive! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd now: back to work, you super managers, directors, VPs etc.
I don't think Jim minds the flaming. I think it upsets his loyal readers more than it does him.
ReplyDeleteJim's "agenda" (in my view) is to provide a forum for Gannett employee angst and to provide a provocative and interesting site that keeps people coming back. If something tickles his fancy, he pursues it just the way he did when he was a Gannett reporter.
Stir things up? Why not? In fact, it should be encouraged.
If you read multiple Gannett newspaper websites, as I do, you will realize not nearly enough of that is going on today. The shallowness, either because of lack of resources or experience, is increasingly evident. Monotony is the word for it.
I can hardly wait for Jim's reporting on the palaver in the crystal palace.
Way to miss the point, 8:13. What a dumbfuck you are.
ReplyDeleteThe posts, while not similar, are inflammatory.
The difference, which you are too dumb to grasp, is Jim "controls" this blog. But the Wausau official has to rely on the newspaper to exercise control over posts.
I'm sure you won't be able to figure out this concept, though.
Jim,
ReplyDeleteWould you please provide me the names of 11:06 a.m, 11:08 a.m., and 11:21 a.m. I think a letter to each would be appropriate for their dissension from the Gannett blog.
