What Mediaguy believes and what I believe are 2 different things. Furthermore discussions on 9/11 have nothing at all to do with our company.
I completely agree with you. Isn't it cool that he's allowed to speak his mind?
Again, I agree with you. McDonalds would definitely fire that guy. Then again, this forum and this industry, is very different. In adult, different ideas, niches, marketing (such as the bloody penis in the "we sell virgins" banner, is encouraged.
And besides, who would you prefer dealing with. Someone who lies and says they accept the government's version of 9/11 (and every other issue such as "proof" of WMD's in Iraq), just so they could keep their job? Or do you want someone who tells you the truth about what they believe? I'll take the later every time.
Ok, I will meet you part way on this one. I personally use the word OPINION over FACT when saying something I'm not 100% sure about. However, I would think that by not asking him to censor himself on his opinions might make me seem like a better employer, not a worse one. (Yes thats an opinion, not a fact, so feel free to disagree).
If he was being interviewed about our product by a magazine or newspaper then I would definately make sure that everything remained on topic. But this is a thread on a friend forum, that Mediaguy started. All comments and ideas are by default welcomed (and by default should be expected) by the thread starter. You saw his name when you clicked in. If you don't like him, why click in?
I am sorry to hear you say that and I sincerely hope you change your mind. You may like our product very much even if you don't like mediaguy. And if you prefer not to deal with him, I would gladly provide all the support you require myself, and even send you my cellphone # for after hours emergencies.
Cheers!
