So I tried to hit FP for a while this morning and answer their questions. I was interested in finding out how I ‘defamed’ them by reporting factually something they don’t deny happened.
Lots of abuse. That’s fine. A few honest questions, so I answered those. Then the conspiracy theories began - they aren’t even worth dignifying, let alone refuting.
Now, of course, they’re saying they’ll email everyone at the company I work for, calling me a racist. My bosses don’t seem bothered, especially being a traffic today is huge as a result, but if you guys could send on some encouragement to the paper for reporting honestly about stuff that other papers steer clear of, that wouldn’t hurt.
Send a Twitter message to http://www.twitter.com/... (so as to not fill his inbox) if you’d like to counteract the ‘kill the messenger’ crowd over at FP.
Oh, by the way, someone who I think is a part of FP’s higher echelon emailed me thanking me for writing the story, saying they need to stop this kind of stuff on their forum and this was just the tonic to correct those mistakes.
That was a nice note to get. Because, really, that’s all anyone on either side should want - mistakes fixed.
Fool me once, I’ll punch you in the fucking head.

How can this guy vote in US elections if he has applied for and I assume become a Canadian citizen?
I still want him to name the “posters” that he quoted.
What facts? Report honestly? It looked to me like he lifted most of the article from someone else and didn’t attribute ANY of the posts. Who were the posters? Where are his facts? A diary on KOS?!
Mentions Freepers:
Remember, people. (none / 1)
This stuff has been going on in Iraq for over a year now - no food, no water, no electricity, men with guns prowling the streets - and the Bush government insists that’s a big success.
And the Freepers all agree.
So now that the disaster in Iraq has moved to their home shores, well, it’s just a continuation of the video game they’ve been playing since last year from the comfort of their keyboards.
You can almost hear their cry: “Let the butt-pyramids begin!”
Fool me once, I’ll punch you in the fucking head.

This is anonymous too. He has no facts and nothing that backs up anything. This passes as reporting?
Shouldn't he worry about the DailyKos and their vile postings before he tries to 'fix' that of another website?! I doubt he is telling the truth about this either!
I'm just another nobody here, so I may be wrong, but I think the only higher echelon here at "FP" is JimRob.
That Kos/Vancouver Sun guy really seems to believe his delusions that he's hot-shi*. Well, he got it half right.
