Derailing a thread again Bucky.
Missed ya like the clap.


Who's Bucky?


You will notice that most people are discussing the firing at the CBC. Thread derailing would be for those that aren't discussing that issue. Try to stay focused m'kay!

Of course. If you don't understand what I've asked you, that is entirely your issue.
No, you said "do tell".

I already did that.

If you are unwilling to expand on that, the issue is yours and you simply want to troll, or realize now, that what you were digging for, would have made your question really stupid.

I can understand how uncomfortable you must feel.

Hmmmmm If someone is willing to come forward publicly there might be some validity to the allegations and if there is hopefully others will show the same courage.

She isn't the only one now.

I'm on the road at the moment and wont be on long, but it has been my position that we can not throw people to the wolves without clear accusation. That appears to be what is happening now, and if it true Ghomeshi will watch his base of support collapse.

I get what you're saying, but I feel compelled to say, losing a job isn't being thrown to the wolves.

If you're a talking head, make sure you keep your bedroom door closed at all times. Here endth the lesson.

There's a little more to thuis than losing a job. He will likely lose his entire livelihood as a broadcaster. If its a bedroom issue its one thing. If he's a violent abusive a__hole that's another.

Gotta ride Later...

Again, even if we run on the lightest possible truth here, and that being kinky shinaningans behind closed doors. He's a public figure that works for a major broadcaster. Optics matters when it can affect the bottom line.

Couldn't agree more.

Drive safe bru.

I attempted to give you a thumbs up. I fear I hit the wrong thumb with my stupid fat finger. Sorry.

It might have been me, lol. Damn touch screen.

You're so gallant. Lol.

Optics matter with pretty much anyone these days. Everybody's lives are on social media. Granted it may be a bit more of an issue if you're 'personality' is basically the same as your job.

If the CBC did not want him on the air because of optics, they were not obligated to put him on the air. Their choice was not between the status quo and firing him. People seem to miss that
