Steve Ritchie is on Facebook saying that if people stop talking about it, it might "go away."
Someone then posted a link to Pinside. Given Steve's recent comments about this place, he's not going to like that.
Quoted from thearcadegeek:If this is true then I just lost all respect for him today as well... Don't talk about Child Porn accusations and they might go away? WTF is wrong with people...
Sadly it is. One of my friends just guessed that someone from Stern called and told him to take it down. Wouldn't be surprised.
Quoted from mcluvin:Oh the mob mentality! Before you render judgement on Steve, consider that if the guy is innocent, this will, and should go away. Now if he is guilty? Of course not. I'm not sure Steve was actually suggesting it should go away even in that case. Certainly I would think he is hoping for the best outcome for his coworker/friend, and for Stern Pinball as well. Nobody wants to see the company that kept pinball alive damaged by this, especially those who work there.
He actually did say that it might "go away". I was going to take a screen shot but I remembered Pinside's rules concerning FB posts. Other Pinsider's saw it, though. I'm sure Steve regrets writing that. Dude's a good guy.
Quoted from practicalsteve:Writing that post was the absolute worst thing he could have done then. Before he deleted it, it was basically 30 posts of people asking what happened because they didn't know.
Yep, and the people that did know what he was talking about were mixed in their feelings about Steve's post.
Nothing good came of it. Like I said, I'm sure he regrets it. Emotions are understandably high right now.
Looks like he got bailed out. I can't imagine the phone conversations he's having with the folks at Stern. http://search.dupagesheriff.org/inmate/release
Quoted from KLR2014:I understand that (I work in IT) but why "discuss" it further ?
Because this is a discussion forum dedicated to pinball and pinball related topics.
Unless you're the OP, requesting that a thread be shut down is ridiculous. If it bothers you, simply drain it and move on.

Found the post on another forum in regards to someone commenting on John T when he was originally hired at Stern in 2013
I am 99% this is the identical content that was in this thread but was removed back then.

I just finished listening to the latest Coast 2 Coast Pinball Podcast and Nate talks about this.
Ugh. Just finished reading this and now I feel like I need a shower. Some of the posts on here are repulsive.
First thing I've read from him in quite awhile. So glad he's gone.
