How does Ek let a blogger Fat shame, and encourage burning someone’s livelihood?

Seriously.

- Merkmayhem


My guess is that like tanner, Ek is also a fan of bigotry , violence , fat shaming , and racist views.

The Frosty is the best fast food dessert. Lots of innocent Frosty died in that fire. It was a travesty.

Tanner has been pushed over the edge. The real Tanner has now completely exposed himself. He's no longer even trying to disguise his extreme radicalism behind fake good will.

I like how the entire blog is full of bait and the result is 30 comments. Maybe he tops out at 50. Total fail.

That is honestly the only tactic for successfully slowing down the nonsense. Just be mindful of when he pushes even further to get the outrage going again. Somehow it has to be ignored to prevent a continuous cycle of insanity.

I'd put huge money on the fact this is the only thing you read or watch all week that doesn't tell you exactly what you want to hear. It's like eating your vegetables. You know damn well I'm right about everything, you just don't want to admit it.
- James_Tanner


Yea, love hearing about rioting, looting, burning businesses, damaging property of business owners who were just about to re-open after surviving COVID, and taking over city blocks under the guise of peaceful protests that you say are a plus. Nothing I’ve heard all week is exactly what I want to hear. I accept bitcoin but I won’t hold my breath on getting paid.

That’s because most of the bait in the blog is political which isn’t what most of the readers come here for.

He can write whatever he’s wants here and He may get some of the keyboard warriors from Facebook and Twitter to bite but it doesn’t really attract readers who are here to talk hockey. That’s why his blogs with hot takes on analytics or roster construction do generate a fair number of comments and traffic.

As for myself I’m just here cause I find it entertaining, but in a “I used to think his blogs were a tragedy but now I realized they’re a comedy” type of way

People are pretty stupid if they don't realize that "Clickbait" can only occur in the title. If you find something to complain about in the text, you already clicked. I don't think comments generate any extra clicks, I think it's one-and-done.

Either way, this comments section is filled up with 4 morons who are obsessed and jealous of me. I can't blame them, I am great. I'd be jealous too. But if not for them, there'd only be 2 comments per blog, but that's fine because comments account for almost none of the traffic because only a really certain kind of person is commenting in the comments section in 2020.

Honestly who gives a rat's ass about businesses? Demand that cops stop killing black people and you will get the added bonus of no business fires.

Pretty sad ___ day when people give more of a ___ about a Wendy's than humans.

I normally don't respond to you when you use the dumber of your two identities, but honestly dude, you are now coming up with tactics to "successfully slow down" a blogger for the Phoenix Coyotes? You realize no one is making you click this? I've already expressed my disdain for you a hundred times over, but you just make it too easy to mock you.

I have printed this and taped it to the wall in my office. Thanks for the laugh my dear friend. (I wrote that last part cause I love when a post leads off "I'm not your friend, but..."

The guy that lost his business to rioting cares about businesses, so that’s who. Guess I’m not getting my bitcoin, eh?

Umm, they changed their name from the Phoenix Coyotes to Arizona Coyotes many years ago. If you actually followed the sport you would stop making that mistake. Of course you'll just say you did that on purpose to make another 50 cents. Nice work. You are almost at 50 comments. When is your rent due?

This is an honest question but every time someone clicks on your blog to come to the comment section wouldn’t that count as an extra click or if a user were to repeatedly click on your blog would that only count as 1 click?

I wouldn’t say your critics are jealous or obsessed. Hockeybuzz is an online community no different than reddit in a sense. The readers of this website are hockey fans from all walks of life so it’s no surprise that some of the people here have different opinions to any controversial topics you write about. You would likely have just as many critics if you wrote right wing opinionated blogs.

As far as a certain kind of person commenting in the comments I agree with you when it comes to platforms such as Facebook, instagram and Twitter as that has your actual information along with family and friends to see what you post but hockey buzz like reddit, is an anonymous community designed to generate discussion among those with a common interests. In fact these are the only two websites I do comment on posts for that very reason

You're a big stats man, so how bout you read the actual stats about what really goes on in US cities, and not just headlines for idiots like you to regurgitate.

If people , like you, keep on pushing for ridiculous protocols, cops will be too scared to do their jobs. Let's see how many people die then.

Atlanta shooting yesterday is perfect example.
Cops too afraid to subdue suspect properly ( no not knee on neck), and suspect escapes with tazer and gets shot.

Not everything is about race. In most cases, race has nothing to do with it. Obeying, or more to the point, not obeying the law does

Wendy’s are mostly franchised locations. You’re not “stickin it to the man” by burning them. You’re taking away a business who employs locally.

People don’t drive great distances to work at Wendy’s. You’re screwing over who works there - often students trying to work through school, elderly people who need added income or can’t retire yet. People getting second shots in life to avoid recidivism. Single parents who need a second job. Handicapped folks who’s job prospects are limited.

That is who you are hurting. The restaurant is insured. The owner is inconvenienced, but really still taken care of. But the employees?

Congrats. Now you just have that many more people in the local area looking for work. That doesn’t HELP black lives! It doesn’t make a statement about the police force treating people savagely. It makes it more difficult for people in the neighborhood. You’re cutting off your nose to spite your face!

Well done.

Who is affected most at the loss of these businesses besides potentially the people who worked their butt off to start them? The low income people obviously . So is the strategy to make poor people more poor in hopes they become less poor? And somehow how that in turn will lead to less interactions with police? That's how dumb and uneducated you are.

Vegas might be an apocalyptic plague zone by the time the league actually restarts.

Depending on how hard the second wave of infections hits, all of the sports leagues might have to walk back on re-opening so soon.

I'll keep wearing my mask until all of this blows over. I don't care what people think about me because I am wearing one. My message to the right-wingers bent out of shape over wearing masks is to look at it this way - masks impede facial recognition technology. So, it wearing one makes it harder for Big Brother to track you with his every-present network of face-scanning cameras.

Wear a mask. It's a win-win for everybody. Keeps you safe, Keeps others safe. And is a low-key F-you to Big Brother.

Ah, but the four trolls that reside here, they live for your comment section. I mean why else would they come here and hold a complete conversation every time you post something? It's like an addiction to them.

Keep it up, I enjoy your posts.

I agree with most of what you say except Lords of War. The last Nic Cage movie I liked was Knowing. He's kinda like the trolls here. After a few times, you know the schtick and it becomes parody.

Yes, because the only people who work at local Wendy's locations are well-off white privileged businessmen. Most of the people who work at a local Wendy's are either high school/college kids trying to earn some income, single parents who need an extra source of income, and elderly people who need extra income. If the franchise is located in a low-income community, the people you are hurting are the people from that community, which will only make matters worse. Good thinking Jim.

Imaging the Boston Tea Party with today's partisanship:

Liberals: I am outraged that people would dress up and culturally appropriate native Americans. I mean, you could've made your point and destroyed the tea without being racist.

Conservatives: They're just a bunch of thugs who have no regard for property. They could've peacefully protested the tax but they just have to destroy stuff. I hope they find every one of them and put them away for life, or better yet, deport them.
