Ann Arbor, MI
Quoted from Phbooms:These sexual predators are everywhere.
Yep. I have a window in my cube at work and I see this dude riding his bike home a few times a week...for a few years (just one of the many people that walk by). One day, when we were getting ready to get pregnant for the first time, I started searching in my area for Sex Offenders. Almost right away i notice the damn bike riding dude in the pictures...lives like 2 blocks from my house & work. Crazy random shit man.
Quoted from Rarehero:Pinball is a small world, and as hobbyists we know who made these games, often personally.
No, I really don't think that's true. Maybe you feel like you're an average pinball hobbyist but I don;t think you are at all.
Of course what anyone feels the need to do with their property is totally up to them and more power to them.
EDIT: Didn't factor in the facebook angle I'm not an expert on...but I still feel that way.
Quoted from Darscot:Yeah I thought of this too and didn't want to say it out loud. If the police found anything on a Stern computer and fuck what a mess it would be.
I don't know why that would be a mess. They would take his PC and that would be the end of it.
Quoted from 27dnast:It would only be a mess if someone at Stern had knowledge of his issue. Look at what occurred at Penn State.
Quoted from Darscot:Some Mother or Father finds out dirty pictures of their child have been spread through a PC and Stern and you bet your ass they are going to sue. It's a liability nightmare for Stern.
Quoted from DeathHimself:This is for sure putting the cart way before the horse but if by very remote chance there was child porn found on his PC at his work place, ....
Man you guys are like way ahead of anything to do with this.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:If JT had any decency, he would resign ASAP.
If he's decent he needs his job & monies to fight a legal battle for against horrible charges against him.
If he's guilty he isn't decent...obviously.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:The kind of "media" that might take interest in this isn't your old school newspaper or TV news. i don't see how stern benefits from ignoring this. They are asleep at the switch if you ask me.
Yeah but does it really matter if they say anything or not. I understand pinball people are hypersenstive to pinball news but does anyone else care? Does it even move a needle?
What's the headline going to be? "Pinball company employee arraigned today on felony child pornography charges."
Is anyone in the real world really gonna give 2 shits aboot that?
Quoted from TKDalumni:What comment?
"This is a sad day for pinball"
I believe this was the entirety of it. EDIT: sorry there was more as 27dnast points out
Quoted from 27dnast:I can't remember the exact words, but he basically said if people would stop talking that it might go away... something added on to the effect of 'no more posts'
Quoted from cooked71:It's funny how this whole "fake news" & social media phenomenon has evolved. Now the assumption is that everything is fake until proven otherwise. (Or guilty until proven innocent).
I don't think these 2 things are related personally; Distrusting internet stuff has always been pretty normal.
Quoted from 27dnast:Well, I don't know about you guys, but that external website comment makes my skin crawl. Its wording... its distance from this past weekend's events... everything about it is flat out creepy.
And that's why it's met with skepticism...that it can be so spot on. It goes from being laughable and an obvious troll to being completely creepy really goddamn quick.
Quoted from 27dnast:You're lumping Penn State into a school system?
Just stop it man...please.
You're going to extreme lengths to say that maybe an institutional cover up could maybe be done possibly casue it liked happeend before those other times...what does it matter?
Quoted from practicalsteve:... and I honestly think he should delete the podcast now...
Oh but this one had some gems in it. The Aussie forums being insensitive to him were "going to make him quit his pinball podcast" was my favorite. *cue the naked eyes song
Quoted from Manimal:If I had to guess....and this is ONLY a guess.....I would say someone tipped off the cops to something JT was doing or had said, or possibly they were investigating someone that made or distributed the porn and found some link to JT on that person's computer.
I always guess that these people are connected on the internet and swapping videos. I feel like I hear "sharing" or "trading" files when I see this in the news. One person gets caught and they follow the trail to everyone else.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I pretty much say that all the time. Save it for some place that's not pinside. Pinball was always the outlet that could handle a little more racy stuff.
After all this is known as the rebel hobby.
It indeed WAS
Ha rebel no longer sadly. I was just talking aboot this the other day whilst looking at some Pinball promotional material.
You'll notice so much of it these days has the entire family in pictures enjoying the family affair pinball is. I still thoguht it was just aboot pot & booze but it seems that's being marketed out
Quoted from CaptainNeo:why does rarehero work with tosh.0? If that's the case, I guess he's not one of the writers for the show.
He is a Director not a writer for FGY.
Quoted from pezpunk:you caught me disagreeing with your opinion! the first amendment does not guarantee you freedom from criticism! disagreeing with you is not "enforcing limits" on you!
God get over it man.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:(edited)
Well now come on he's got the passions aboot what he believes & much like Pez you can't fault them for that.
You can fault them for thinking their way of thinking is the only correct one, which can be annoying as shit, but again the passions will do that.
