Do malcontents add ANYTHING to this forum?

The question is straightforward: does an individual that was fired at a bottom feeder market deserve a forum to shit on people AND PUBLICLY NAME THEM on this forum?

Matt, you have every right to be on the Buzzboard… as long as you add to the discussion of TV and radio issues. It is also your right to be — as you call it “a malcontent”. It’s not how I’d choose to live my life, but it is your right to be as miserable as you’d like to be. Don’t let ANYONE take away your joy. Stay strong, my friend.

Stink, you are the malcontent. You publicly shit on your former bosses.

Sinclair has a very biased history, and I have no love for them.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

NEVER EVER COMPLY WITH FASCISM!!!

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

I wanna say this much--

When I lost my radio job, I was very bitter. VERY bitter. However, while I lost it on my own doing, I used to come on here and trash them, too. Sure, they were making stupid moves, but I was just being a harsh little shit. Younger, more ego, drug problems, but it doesn't make it okay. I eventually reached out to those people and apologized and made amends for my behavior.

That being said, Matt, I don't understand why you have made this your cause. I mean, 80% of many message boards are people that just cause you to roll your eyes and say "gimme a fuckin' break". That's one reason why I stay away from PolPot. I say let him bitch. Doesn't take money from our paychecks, we still have jobs, screw it. It's a gorgeous day, Michigan football kicks off this week, and it Sinklair wants to have a go, oh well.

You're right. It's admirable that you made amends with people that you once bad-mouthed.

In this case, YOU should be making amends with all of your former colleagues you shit on publicly.

How about I do that after you make amends to me for — as you call it — shitting on me publicly,

Franko: keep up. I did quit, got out of the business. Now I’m able to comment freely as a member of the public who would like 25-66, 12 and 5 to all do better and act in the public interest.

Thanks for your concern, but I’m not going to “get over it.” These companies should do more to support their employees/my former colleagues. They threaten employees to not speak up or speak out. So, since I now longer work for the corporate Death Star, I’m going to call them out when they can and should do better.

If you don't work there you really shouldn't care. It must be a sad world you live in to have to keep caring about something that does not impact your life or concern you in any way.
