Dear Stephanie

September 27, 2006 @ 17:09

I'd like to send a message to Stephanie Smyth of 640 Toronto and offer her a little advice.

Those of you who don't work in the radio biz probably aren't aware of this but there's a website out there that deals with radio.

It's one of those forums where you can offer your comments about the radio business, and for the most part it can be helpful and interesting.

However, there's a group of nasty little fellows who frequent the board. They're radio wannabes, who for whatever reason never got to live their dream, but somehow along the way they became experts.

Their method of getting attention is by baiting people within the business with uninformed and shockingly mindless postings.

Yesterday there was such a posting on the board taking a shot at Stephanie Smyth and am 640. It was unfair and stupid but unfortunately Stephanie replied to it.

And that's why I'd like to send this message to Stephanie. You should never respond to these guys. The minute you respond to them you legitimize them, and believe me, the group I'm talking about does not deserve to be legitimized.

They don't matter.

Listen, we all deserve criticism at some time. And for the most part I think most of us who've worked in radio have become rather thick-skinned.

We often "give it" so we have to learn to "take it." But when you take it, you immediately have to assess it and consider where it's coming from and decide whether it's worthy of a response.
Stephanie, believe me, your time could have been much better spent yesterday - you have nothing to prove to these guys.

And finally Stephanie, I know we've never met, but I'm sure you've gotten to know me through "the board'.

I'm the unemployed has-been-never-was farting redneck who will never work in the business again because I'm no longer attractive to the general managers I used to blow in the washroom.

True man True!

how bouts we web log moderators remove garbage comments? Various current information websites I drop by and see that permit comments; the comments are so infested with trolls and tripe, I never make an effort perusing the comments. Take the time to get rid of the waste. Not a soul will miss it; as well slice the tangents a few individuals take.

Married ladies looking for affairs seems to be a growing trend in most of the cities, or in examples where spouses of these espoused women have been out on work for an extended period of time. Being unable to cope up with the pressure of marriage also leads ladies to look outside their marriage for accordinglyme fun.

to get heard of the modern Kinect? Its truly awesome! I never had a great deal fun playing video games before, eventhough I will call myself a new hardcore player that will usually plays adventures like Call of Duty and so on. The Kinect is simply so different than whatever else I have ever before played before. this motion controles work really well, and in addition to that, but not needing to use a controller to experiment with is the personification regarding freedom! No troublesome button smashing anymore, a single word is enough! You should really think about getting the Kinect!the xbox 360 store
