Can we just call a spade a spade here? Doesn't matter if you like him or not he's an attention hog. I called it last time, I said the minute Guns N Roses gets close or comes out he'll be back with his podcast. Why do you guys keep letting this fool, fool you? Lets use common sense here... why would his work care what he does in his spare time?

Do you really think his work cared one bit that did a pinball podcast? Seriously?

That whole thing was a farce and people bought into that non-sense. Yeah someone probably called his work and complained about him, and his HR probably called him and said something almost like this 'Some moron called and complained about you doing a pinball podcast'. Then Kaneda used the event to cast spotlight on himself.

Then what did he do? He went to facebook and continued his podcast essentially so WHAT HAPPENED with his job being threatened? I guess that was a lie!

Why can't he do the podcast but he can do it on facebook where there is millions more eyeballs. It doesn't make sense.

Then what happened? Simple, the second Guns was about to debut he did EXACTLY what I said he would do ... he came back.

Now look at his numbers of listeners on his podcast they've plummeted he's doing at least 1000 less listens on each podcast. Then what happened, he gets all pissed off about the 5 dollar plastic trophy known as 'TWIPPY' he whines he complains then BOOM off the air again. With the Twippy's new system plus his listenership down by a TON he probably figured he was going to lose and his fragile ego can't handle that.

Now the rumor is Deeproot sent him a legal letter, who cares! What did he do wrong nothing? He offers his opinion and nothing more. Kaneda has never nor will ever influence a single person to buy or not buy a pinball machine. He's entertainment and sometimes he provides insight or news.

If its true that Deeproot sent him a letter, I find that funny because this is a guy who's revealed Munsters artwork to leaking the Stranger Things video and no lawsuits. Look this is what the MEDIA does they leak info, they offer information or opinions.

Kaneda knows he did nothing wrong, its just another attempt having people casting attention upon him. If someone did send him a legal letter, people send them all time, you tell those people POUND SAND and you'll never hear another word. Kaneda just like all the other podcasters are entitled to their own opinions, leak news, and everything between. I registered a URL World Series of Pinball, Caesars Casino sent me a cease and desist, I sent them back a note that said GO POUND SAND you don't own the generic words 'Pinball' and I asked them to identify when they created the term 'World Series'. Guess what I never heard from them EVER AGAIN and I still own the URL. It costs virtually NOTHING to send a letter. Kaneda just wants attention.

Prediction, I just think people are over Kaneda and its time to move on. He owns NO pinball games NOT ONE!

He's irrelevant on every level! If he does his podcast again good for him, and he will but in the meantime back to talking about pinball with people who actually OWN THEM, SELL THEM, BUY THEM, or create products for PINBALL!

That is my take!

Freedom of speech is NOT dead, people are speaking their minds more today than ever before in HISTORY! A lot of things that are said are complete lies but either way people are using their freedom of speech every single day just look at Twitter or Facebook!

Kaneda is just looking for attention don't fall for it. Yet one more time he picks up his toys and leaves. What does that remind you of?

What does that have to do with it? I would again I'd go on any podcast if they had an interesting topic. I'm just calling a spade a spade. Does it make any sense that he can continue his podcast on facebook but not on soundcloud? NOPE! My opinion he's an attention hog and some of you people fall for it again and again!

His podcasts listenership is way down, then they changed the twippy award voting, then wham he quits again? C'mon!

He cares more about a SILLY 5 dollar plastic trophy than World peace! LOL

BTW that was a joke!

Facebook and podcast library have been restored. Kman’s back in business and life’s order has been restored. Story to come tomorrow.

Will have to tune in and hear what happens!

Personally I don't think Kaneda should be banned from Pinside or anyone else for that matter. I don't think Twitter should be banning people either. When you look around on social media its very hard to stray away from people hating on each other, fighting, calling someone out, and everything between. Which is why I'm totally ignoring social media its just a war zone. I honestly think its unhealthy to watch the news or read social media no matter what side of the fence you're on. But when you start banning people where does it start and where does it stop?

Look on pinside there are plenty of people you don't like or don't agree with we see it on this site daily. Someone wants to sell their POTC for 20k and that person gets lit up like a Christmas tree by someone. Why? If you don't like it ignore it.

So who cares if you don't like my posts then don't read them. You don't like Kanada trashing something or going off about something WHO CARES skip it.

We all choose to read something or engage in a debate or disagreement. If he's on the site and he gets into more arguments who cares. Words never hurt anyone actions do. Let him back into the ring I'll take him on if I disagree with him. If he's just blabbering about whatever I can also choose to scroll past it.

Simple. Don't ban anyone its just not the right way in my opinion.

ee

I understand and appreciate your opinion and you're entitled to it. I won't call you names for your opinion or send you downvotes like a little 5 year old. I'm merely saying that on these forums you can choose to ignore or engage in anything you want. Everyone has an opinion we're seeing that on a daily basis in the news, and social media. When do we start fact checking the news, or silencing people for their opinions, who chooses who's right or wrong?

Dangerous road to travel down. With that being said I understand Kaneda made a lot of problems for many people, I respect that. But the best way to silence someone isn't to ban them, its to ignore them. He started his own podcast which is the biggest on the scene so no one actually silenced his opinion by banning him from this website. Again don't like something ignore it and move on.

There are so many awesome topics on pinside that you can choose to ignore the garbage. Again mute point he's never being allowed back so just overall pointless conversation.
