When I post this one, you know I mean it (updated)
Five points.
One, everyone knows CATSA suck.
Two, CATSA in Ottawa particularly suck. They’re jerks.
Three, I have read that story from top to bottom three times. I didn’t see the news.
Four, the story has the faintest odour of one newspaper chain going after people at another newspaper chain. I’ve experienced it personally, recently. And with the same paper.
Five, yes, this is Warren speaking.
UPDATE: Ninety minutes after this post went up, a Citizen writer sent me an email saying how what what I’d written was, quote unquote, “deeply resented.” He then – out of the blue – went on to tell me a great deal about the pleadings in my divorce action, and about things that have happened, therein, which have never been made public. He then concludes his missive by noting that – so far – his newspaper hasn’t published anything about my personal life. He could have added the word “yet,” but he didn’t need to. The message was clear.
Boy oh boy: I put up a tiny post questioning the media/bureaucratic treatment of a man who has been no fan of mine (to say the least), and the media organization in question sends me a note containing a not-so-subtle threat. Wow.
I’m still processing all of this, but one thing’s for sure: I’m not someone who takes to intimidation very well. You’d think some folks would know that by now, but apparently they don’t.
Stay tuned.
UPDATED: And the rave reviews about the Shitizen’s reportage keep pouring in, here and here.
