Members DaytimeFan Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 I do hope you aren't referring to me, I couldn't live with myself to know that you're appalled that I sang like a bird about Carolyn Hinsey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 I don't know if I even have the energy to try to catch up with this thread, now talking about the Jossip thread primarily rather than anything about CH's firing & how it will or may affect daytime, etc. But, I have to ask one question, ...The real Alan Carter is posting there & he like almost everyone has pluses & minuses, but there's an imposter Alan Carter posting there, too. (Several imposters there now even of nom de plumers.) And, the real Alan Carter stated clearly that it was the imposter who told the tale of Lynn being fired. So, I just wanted to get that out there so it won't be part of the tale that is told by the campfires for many moons. If this has already been pointed out, I apologize. I just skimmed & didn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just skimmed & didn't see it. And for reasons that DonnaB will understand, the whole thing boggles my mind because I haven't actually encountered internet forgers since a peculiar case on Usenet. The whole Jossip thread has been rendered useless by these imposters...which is cool in a "sabotage" sense. What an effective way to shut the thread down! Alan Carter needs a blog. Seriously. Not only because I think he has valuable things to contribute, but because I think he has some demons to expunge. And because I think he has fans, and it would make him feel good to connect with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 Ohmigawd, don't remind me. Oh, wait, you already did. Anyway, that poster is beginning to show their former stripes. I hope they stop & think & back up again. It's so much nicer when they post more or less like the rest of the world. You're probably right about Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 How long before the SOD/SOW merger? And when it happens, will they do the little digest form, the tabloid newsprint form, or some new hybrid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 SOW did their first issue without Hinsey's name listed ANYWHERE on the mag So I wonder what SOD will replace "It's Only My Opinion" with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raspberry Posted August 23, 2008 Members Share Posted August 23, 2008 Never cared for Carolyn Hinsey, so it doesn't even bother me that she was fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted August 24, 2008 Members Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hey, a poster at Jossip (yes, I went back after weeks to see what embers are still glowing) said this: Does anyone have a copy of that SOW? Could they summarize what is said, within the bounds allowed by SON? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 I was gifted with a SOW copy. In the 9/2 issue, the editors say, in part They then go on to talk about devoted and passionate editors, writers, artists and loyal readers They also ask "what do you miss?" and "what would you like to see more of?" I interpret this as saying that the "lesson" taken from Hinsey's leadership was one of excessive negativity...and they are now trying to embrace a more positive viewpoint. The letter is signed by just about the entire staff. This would imply that...in contrast to the early phase of the Jossip story...the team is trying to come together. Or at least all hold on to their jobs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 OK, I'm a little late on this, but just let me say that I'm happy this fat bitch was fired. Harsh? Yes. I can't stand her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
