The Bad News Thread

JR is many things, a moron is not on that list.

I admire your restraint in only posting a few words in rebuttal, JR.

I thought FRPLG was being sarcastic.

back to the lesson in warpath psychology, i think we can see that bad news brings confrontation then comedy followed by logical analysis. Good news gets a round of hearty good cheers. No wonder bad news sells. More clicks here.

hope people there are able to stay safe. Lots of mudslides and road blockages.

if you have never looked at the earthquake.us.gov (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/) map you it's amazing how the earth shakes all the time. you can zoom out to see the world map

At the same time, if they are willing to exert the time and money to chase you down, they likely could force you to spend time and money defending their charges. Truthfully, had you not posted the picture and just gone with the pronouns and descriptions, I would have said "No problem". Again, even with the picture, not likely to result in anything, BUT, if they have the right kind of crazy, have money to burn, and just want to make your life sh** for a bit, well, the pictures let them do that - even if you ultimately prevail.

When it comes to posting the pictures, if it were me, I wouldn't do it and I would recommend to any client of mine not to do so. I get where you coming from, really, I do (Just look at some of my posts in the Gear Grinding thread). I just think you may have let your frustrations get the better of your judgment.


I think I simply don't give a fuck at this stage so me and my co-workers turn it into humor at this point. We know nothing is going to change as long as the primary enabler stays around. Besides, knowing the stuff I have over the people above me gives me quite a bit of leverage to not give a fuck and probably why I posted them to begin with. If I felt I had anything really to lose, I probably wouldn't have posted it. The guy in question doesn't have money, and he knows the stuff I've said is right and can be proven. When it comes down to it, you better know your opponents hand before you go all in and turn your cards up. Overall, the advice is sound and most people would do well to take heed to it. Thank you for the breakdown and the advice JR. A beer has been earned my good man. That's two I owe you now.

...and that's our media in a nutshell.

Wow its scary how much the bad news thread resembles the gameday threads. Confrontation - comedy - logical analysis.

I come for the comedy and stay for the confrontation.

Hope there arent too many casualties. I read "multiple" deaths but that is a pretty broad statement.
