Sorry, what do you want me to respond to exactly? I've already addressed the "traditional marriage" issue. As for my "previous board name", contrary to your paranoia, I don't have one. As I thought, complete bullshit. And the Star and there coverage of Ford is directly pertinent. This...

I'd just like to say right off the top that this is bullshit. I've gone out of my way to respond to as many posts as I can, specifically ones in which I am proven wrong. This is just nonsense. Name anything you want me to answer or stay silent with your lies. Think whatever you want, but I...

I'm going to work in the next thirty minutes, so this will be my last post clogging up this thread for the day. The discussion has gotten a bit out of hand and away from my original post. I was originally responding to someone who said the Star bungled the crack scandal. My point was that they...

What I said in response to you was this: The KFC video was certainly the low-point, but there have been other instances. Following the Mayor to his cottage in Muskoka, for one. Its clear that, in that context, I wasn't referring to a video but rather the Star's actions. The implication was...

You're still employing the same fallacy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignoratio_elenchi. I was discussing how the Star's conduct is unethical. You responded by saying that Ford is unethical and, now, that I'm hypocritical. Even if these things are true, you're changing the subject. They have...

I didn't say that. I said the KFC video was TMZ-style tabloid-journalism, as is following him to his cottage.

What about them? Rather then actually address any of the issues I raised, you're trying to instead turn the focus onto Ford. Well, regardless of whether Ford has been ethical or not, the Star hasn't been ethical in their reporting. Now, if you want to debate the separate issue of whether...

Yeah, I just used that word incorrectly there. Completely unintentional.

What polls are you talking about here? Polling has shown about half the city does not believe the crack allegations. We're not debating the merits of the crack allegation. For the record, I've stated that I believe the video exists. What I'm saying is that the Star has lost credibility in the...

If you don't see any ethics being breached, if you don't see intentionally trying to mislead the public and sway the events of an election combined with printing false stories with no subsequent retractions as unethical, then I don't know what I can say. There seems to a filter as to what...

For all the talk about how Ford Nation is delusional, its really strange how completely paranoid some of you guys are when it comes to all matters Ford. Ford has a 40% approval rating. Some of the people here seem to be in such denial about that that they seem to think anybody who supports...

The Star is definitely justified in some of its reporting and Ford brings much of the controversy on himself - that being said, for every story suitable for print, there's a bunch more that just aren't. You bring up some good examples of things the Star was justified reporting on (magnets at...

Eh, its the truth. You guys can continue to deny that the Star, whether justified or not in its conduct, has taken a credibility hit, but even if you don't believe my anecdote, the proof is in the polling numbers. Half the city doesn't believe the Star. Ford only has a 40% or so approval rating...

Glad someone is finally saying this. Here's a little anecdote. I'm a Ford supporter, as anyone here who's read my posts knows. However, all my family and friends despise the guy. Like, hate his guts. They take any and every opportunity to bash Ford for whatever, whether its his policies...

And what exactly do you want him to do? I'm asking you to explain exactly what Ford could have done that would have made any difference.

First of all, I'd just like to strongly refute the suggestion (from others) that I'm parroting Ford's talking points. Both Matt Elliot and John Tory have made the same claim (that Ford did release a budget smaller than the year), so, at the very least, I'm only parroting what those two...

What should he have been doing? So far, you're the only person on here that I've seen bring up what you actually expect Ford to have done: direct and update emergency services and do media updates. There were no fatalities yesterday. Emergency services seemed to be operating pretty fine...

Interesting...in a rush right now to get to work, but I'll respond to this later tonight. Thanks for the response.

What did you expect Ford to do? Personally drain all the flooded water, unblock the DVP and pick up concrete debris? There's nothing he could have done that would have made a difference. You guys would criticize him for anything.
