Quoted from thedarkknight77:

I am pissed!! This is pure BS!! Kaneda was the best thing to happen to this hobby!

Quoted from cooked71:

Ha, what happened to that standard of launch - very slick. Seems to be an inverse relationship between quality of game and quality of launch marketing.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Your boss. They act hct they feel, you sue them for wrongful termination if you think its wrong. Sucks but what can you do?
I work for Mr 68 industries, i have a KKK podcast on my own time(as is my right), Mr 68 stick is plummeting but he has nonwritr to terminate my employment.
Fair?

Quoted from Whysnow:

That is complete BS and you damn well know it Kim.
I never did (and never would) go F with anyone’s livelihood like that.
The POS made a fake Fbook account, took pics of me off the internet from obscure sources to try and make it appear real, friended 100s pf people, further used the Fbook algorithm to friend other real friends and family members that thought it was me, and invested serious time into making it appear as if it was actually me. He then posted insane shit with the account to the point that real life people called me and asked WTF was happening.
He then called my work and boss at the time to out me for using social media and Pinside at work. He knew exactly what he was doing, it was and still is complete BS.
He also made numerous eBay ads impersonating me, online bullying, and further attempting to cause damages.
I asked, pleaded, and begged him to stop multiple times, telling him it was way too far and he crossed serious boundaries. It impacted my personal life and started my decline in being as active in pinball as I always worried when he would pull more shit, screen cap me saying or doing something in my hobby/personal life, and then take it to my work life/real world.
I NEVER mixed any BS like this and never would. To insinuate and even accuse that I did is frankly really shitty Kim.

Quoted from Gryszzz:

It was me. I did it.
Any of you punk bitches decide to change outta yer panties into boxers I'll be on my front porch.

Quoted from Whysnow:

I believe he did it for attention. I was a hyper poster, a known person in the Pinside community/pinball community, and opinionated. He wanted clicks and thrives off drama stirring for the attention. By going after other known people and talking shit, it brings him into the conversation and that is what he “needs” it appears. Pretty much his MO and when he would not stop the bullying and elevated things with real world stalking I knew the only way to make him “go away” was to pull back (publicly) from a hobby I loved.
If I was not a “personality” to him then he would lose interest and look to the next shiny thing to elevate his persona and clicks.
There is no doubt about it that he has deep rooted issues. Glimpses of his reality and inner turmoil have been seen by multiple communities and at times in serious ways in pinball (tossing drinking, smacking his then girlfriend around, and making a drunken scene were the worse we have seen to this point IMHO), but he always thinks it is a game and has no repercussions. His supporters love the schtick and don’t realize the real life negative impacts he has had and created for others. He feeds off the support and it justifies all his actions in his head.
I don’t condone anyone Fing with anyone’s personal livelihood, but after being negatively impacted in my real
Life by his stalking I can 100% understand why someone would turn it around on him.

Today's kids will never understand, I hear ya.[quoted image]

Quoted from HEAD_boss_HOG:

this is such a bummer, and whoever reported this to the employer should be ashamed. never attack a man's, or a woman's livelihood. its low AF
with the power of the internet, we need to find out who called the employer, then we need to effect retribution. lets prank call the shit out of him, or spam him, or something super annoying.
Kaneda did not deserve to be persecuted this way; nobody does. He is a great podcaster, and the reason i made my little podcast (anchor.fm/bosshog) Most of the content was reaction from Kaneda's pod. he was simply the best, and always elicited a good convo.
he is a great member of our community, and hopefully he will be back.

Quoted from Rezdog:

Those damn video game kidz killed our arcades and now .......
they killed kaneda!!!

Quoted from Aurich:

Good advice. I took a year off from Pinside, was helpful for me personally.
It's just a game. They're big wooden boxes with metal balls, it's not worth getting so worked up over that it starts to ruin you life in any way.
I'm hanging around here again now, and it's fun and fine, but I'd walk away again in a heartbeat if it got stressful for any reason. I have zero interest in the drama.

Quoted from Aurich:

You, the judge, and that entire bus of bingo playing grandmas know what you did.
