Lightweight, Slightly Embarrassing T.25 Offers 74 MPG at $9,000 (Switched)

Jul 17th 2010 4:30PM For a writer who says, "We're just not cool with soliciting jeers", Lee Bains was cool with soliciting them with his racist piece from July 8:

Yeah, You Took This Comment Down from Yesterday!

YEAH, it's back up Today!
What's wrong? Is Switched Executive Producer Joshua Fruhlinger now censoring comments, instead of showing Responsibility to his readers?

Jul 16th 2010 2:52PM LOL, jon!
I couldn't care Less who you are.
This issue regards members of Switched.com management who are knowingly and willfully neglecting a problem caused by one of their writers.
I will grant that You are a cheap sideshow in this.
Where did I "threaten" you, jon?
Why does your name not begin with a capital letter?
Are you a Desperate Defense Attorney?
By weakly attempting to discredit me, you're acting Guilty of something, jon.
What could it be?

Jul 14th 2010 4:17AM @PSN, just about everyone has friends of various heritage--In my case, family.
Joking with friends and family is one thing.
Inciting racial tension in a Simple Tech Column is far different.
Allowing it to happen, and willfully neglecting to address it is unforgivable.

This is why we're waiting to see what Joshua Fruhlinger does or does not do, regarding this piece by Lee Bains and the subsequent comments.

Throw iDarts at iDartboard With Sister iPhone and iPad Apps (Switched)

Jul 12th 2010 9:04PM To those who care, I actually received two responses from the Executive Director of Switched.com, Joshua Fruhling in other areas of Switched.

His first response invited me to email him at:
fruhlinger [at] engadget dot com
as he would be happy to talk.
(I have since decided that anything he would say should be said in front of those who cared enough to comment in the first place.

In his second response, he resorted to questioning my integrity, in an apparent attempt to outrun actually responding to my original question, which remains: What kind of reprimand (does he) have in mind for Lee Bains' role in inciting racial prejudice in the Comments Section of his July 8 piece.

Two things are interesting so far:
One, he wanted to deal with my question in private, instead of openly, and Two, he questioned my integrity, instead of stepping up and doing something Real Executive Like, as in answering a simple question.

So far, my piece is writing itself.

Thanks.

Japanese Burger Kings Think Patrons Want 'Musical Showers' With Their Whoppers (Switched)

Jul 12th 2010 8:44PM Joshua;
I have decided rather to continue our focus on what you plan to do or not do, regarding Lee Bains' piece inciting so many racially charged comments.

Anything you say to me can certainly be said in front of those who cared enough to participate In The Comments Section of That Piece.

I will continue to call for your answer.

Thank you.

Jul 12th 2010 10:55AM Joshua;
Thanks for responding. I could not find your direct email address, or the direct addresses of anyone else, either.
I think my work can stand by itself, thanks.
I will email you later today.
Here is my counter-offer: How about we co-edit Switched?
Judging by the heated comments regarding Bain's piece, you could use a little help. : )

Jul 12th 2010 6:31AM jon, You wouldn't believe me.
If I don't hear from them and if it fits, I Might quote you including your name. Since you weren't man enough to include your Last name, it will not be a problem.

Shucks, jon!

The POINT was The Racist Banter Caused By The Piece Itself.

And You want Me banned?

Too Good!

DO go on...

I am curious as to what kind of reprimand you have in mind for his role in inciting racial prejudice, that is painfully obvious in the "Comments" section below his piece.

I will include your reply in my column.

If you do not respond, I will include That in my column.

Your reputation is at stake.

Thanks.
