Speaking of the disgrace forums, can anybody else access them? Or are the "moderators" finally doing what corner forewarned about? I see them at: uticaod.net/comments/ |

He's the web editor who gave me hell for defending myself. Wasn't until after I wrote to fran that the asshole backed off.

 Froggy, what the hell kind of threats does this idiot send? He or she is simply a reporter, and seems to have been assigned to be Night Web Editor. Having worked there at night, he has about as much responsibility as a bouncer in a bar that is closed and empty. Obviously they don't edit at night or on weekends or they would not have all those "bots" on there and would not let a lot of the shit happen that happens over there. I have to think that this new position is one made for someone that could not cut the mustard as a reporter, haha. That is a real kick in the nuts considering the quality of reporting in that rag.

Yeah and now he's busting my ass for defending myself also: Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:41:03 -0700 (PDT) From: <froggy815002000@yahoo.com> View Contact Details Add Mobile Alert Subject: RE: [SPAM-GHM] Re: A warning over a post To: "Onwualu, Chinelo" <conwualu@uticaod.com>, fperrita@uticaod.com And I already told you I was defending my position after someone made incendiary statements toward me. I had Herkimer as my location and the poster who my post was directed to made it a point to put "Herkimer" in bold specificially directed to me. Why didn't you address that poster? Name is Chingachkook. You specifically stated in your first warning email that I did not violate the TOS so why are you emailing me again about the exact same post? And if it makes you sleep better at night, I went back and editted it and stated the post was a total waste instead of garbage.

What thread was this concerning over there Froggy?
I will write a response to him myself and e-mail it to both of them if need be. This is really BS!

this one: www.uticaod.net/comments/viewtopic.php?t=4589somehow this ching poster got bold bbcode to work. wondering if its a sock puppet for this chinelo clown or this gmo moron. If you look thru the email succession I posted above, you'll see his initial email to me where he states I did not violate the TOS, then after my reply, emails me again stating I did. Its crap, as I was provoked and the ass clown who pushed incendiary comments got nothing out of it. |

Greetings Swimmy,
To correct the record, you were dealing with me for the entire period of that "GMO incident."
Fran was on vacation.
Thank you,
Chinelo Onwualu
Night Web Editor
Observer-Dispatch
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think he has a guilty conscience about the matter.
Just write to fran. And explain the situation, it keeps chinelo at bay.

At least he quoted the "offending" text. He couldn't even quote anything of mine.

I cc'd Fran on all of the email exchanges between "chin" and me. I don't understand because yesterday there was one post by this ching whatever poster where Herkimer actually showed up in bold, showing the BBcode was enabled at that point. Now it doesn't show up that way, only showing the code like it usually does over there. Makes me wonder if this ching whoever is actually chinelo and had enabled the code by mistake. Who else could actually get the bbcode to work other than a moderator? And if that is the case, he provoked the response to which he later reprimanded me on. And read it, what is so offending about it? In comparison to some of what has transpired over there, its about as mild as can be.

Trust me, I know. The code you're referring to was html. Bbcode uses brackets []. Html uses these <>. I noticed html was enabled for a little bit, but now it is disabled again.
I just wrote back to chinelo and told him i find it interesting that after I wrote to Fran his threats stopped and the offending posts were either edited or deleted. And gmo stopped his tirade against me and the rest of you.
It's funny that chinelo felt compelled to write that e-mail to me. Only makes me wonder more of his involvment with gmo. Anywhooo, my post to hennesey was deleted the other day because I used the word arse, but at least they were able to quote the offending text. Interesting that I've used similar wording against vickers, townsend, destito, and griffo, but never had a post deleted.
