Small minded people living in their tiny sheltered world behind a keyboard. Tough guys in secret with no consequences.
Man up and reveal yourself so we can contact your employer and see how you hold up. Of course they wont because cowards never do.

The good news about cancel culture is that it eventually leads back to them or their kind and they have to eat their own. Pathetic loathsome people.

Best wishes to Chris Kooluris aka Kaneda. I hope you find a way back.

I'm Kaneda.

What a pathetic comparison. Wow.

Yes, I absolutely do include them.

Wow, I really got to you. Google Diazepam.

Cancel culture.

Why are you doing this? You're smearing with innuendo and association with zero proof.
We can connect the dots of who you're referring to and I think there are several innocent people there. Another Pinside witch hunt? Have you considered the personal damage this could cause?

Indirectly, yes you did and that's why your comment was deleted.

As I recall, all three of them were fucking around so lets not pretend anyone is innocent.

Completely disagree on a Kaneda episode 500. A John Doe episode #1 is much more likely.

Hilton. For the record, I did not name you and I was actually referring to Aurich in the quote you reacted to. Not everything is about you...
That said, I absolutely condemn Kaneda for those inexcusable actions against you. I fully support you in your outrage.
I also condemn him for throwing a drink on someone and all of the other terrible actions people readily pull out from their toolbox. But acting like an innocent bystander is disingenuous as a few of your fellow Pinsiders have commented in follow up.

In my opinion, Kaneda is without a doubt the number one offender of all time and in a league by himself. But Whysnow is easily in the top three of offenders and everyone agrees you must be on the Moderators watch list. You didn't deserve what Kaneda did but you shouldn't have poked the bear either.

I freely admit I have been inappropriate on Pinside and have caused plenty of shit that I regret and embarrassed with. You and I had our weird war for a time and I'm still trying to assess WTF my role was in all of that.

As to the remainder of this thread, I see several people here sitting in judgment and pointing fingers, all with their own checkered history. All of us have committed sins to various degrees and you are not Holier than thou. And in my experience, its the loudest complainers that are in denial about their own behavior.

Then we're agreed.

No man, I like you and often agree when you go off road. I don't think you present as badly as you let yourself imagine.
And despite my efforts I must still be in the top ten as my fan club reminds me with their down-votes and occasional sniping.

I like Cary Hardy too. But for him to capture the zombie Kaneda audience he needs to torture small animals and eat the entrails live.

Brave, gutsy move.

This most recent time is the second one that I'm aware of. The first time was a few months into his first year of podcasting.
His boss didn't care at the time.

I began as a Kaneda hater and remember getting a PM from him after my calling him a Jpop sycophant. It was a reasonable message from him and we had a respectable private exchange. Afterward I would see him flare up on Pinside and I went back to arguing and mocking him which is my childish way. And speaking of childish ways, it was comforting to see so many of you playing in the sandbox with me.

When he came out with his first podcast, I eagerly tuned in to witness a Pee Wee Playhouse disaster and imagined how much laughter I would glean from it. To my surprise, it wasn't what I imagined and the show actually had some polish to it. The shows got better, although flawed in many, many ways, and I found him extremely entertaining and eventually I became a regular.

I find it remarkable that someone could get a permanent ban on Pinside (well deserved) followed by a long period of time when we were punished for speaking his name, and yet he made a come back. For him to become the most talk about personality with a number one podcast is impressive. Thats some evil genius shit right there and I admire his tenacity.

And I know I'm not alone. Over time I've seen many of his former haters now supporting him as I do. To each their own.

No politics and take it private please.
