Earlier today I was either banned, suspended or put in timeout on Twitter. While Nazis are allowed to Tweet out pictures of mass graves at Auschwitz to taunt Jewish users, I was put in a corner over this message .....   “Douche bag”. “Tool”. Wow, those are real daggers. Anyway, I hopefully…

I have been using the term "Uncle Tom Blogger" both on this website and through social media for a few years now, but some folks still don't understand what I am implying when I throw out that derogatory phrase. (more…)

The creation of fake message board aliases and phony email accounts isn't a recent phenomenon in the media business. From the days when Gregg Henson was programming WXYT-AM and utilizing a fugazi persona on the Michigan Buzz Boards (an inside baseball radio forum) to former WDFN personality Greg Brady operating a fake email account to get…

Susan Lucci. The Cleveland Indians of the 1990s. The Buffalo Bills. Alydar. Kathryn Heigl in "27 Dresses." The Detroit Tigers of the last decade.
