Radio Group Throws Hissy
More than 30 female radio personalities here in Chicago assembled last week
to establish a new organization called Women in Radio. The new group will
address women's radio `isolation'. ``For women, isolation from one's peers
is a reality in radio,'' said Eileen Willenborg, executive director of the
AFTRA's Chicago local. The group will provide members an opportunity to
socialize, share common interests and enhance professional skills, she said.
(Feder, Chicago Sun-Times, 2/24/98)
A senior male manager interviewed for this piece said, "Actually it makes it
much easier. Rather than ignoring 30 insecure and unstable women in radio
individually, I can ignore one group."
Thanks sweetheart.

You're joking, right? Brian's opinions are so valuable that he always
crossposts them in a million places. Lucky for the rest of us.

Impotent, evasive, cynical, prone to exaggeration, overall superfluous...
hundred bucks says you're a wizened media chick.

hundred bucks says you're a wizened media chick, at the very least her
co-anchor.

Wrong, bucko.
You would lose that bet as quickly as you seem to lose paying jobs.
And girlfriends.

Dear Ms:
Oh, Pshaw. You remain impotent.
And still evasive (false name, no return address, what's that?); still
cynical (a little bitter "bucko" or what?); still prone to exaggeration (as
your contention is completely wrong); still superfluous (way off
point). NotConnolly, indeed.
Here, I'll raize ya. Two hundred says you're a wizened media chick. And
I'll go a step closer: an anorexic, recovering-addict one. Shall I go on
Hun?
It's your's to raize, call or fold. That's moot. You always fold and run.

Oh brother. One of these wrong-end-of-an-ugly-divorce-case types ("the bitch
took me for all I'm worth!")? Doesn't radio have enough of these "chronically
male" clods?
Miles H. Rost
WHOA!!!! PEOPLE!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
I tell you right now that both of you should do your bickering by E-mail.
First of all, some of us men (and a lot of women, I must add) did get
taken for all we were worth, when divorces happened. (It's a little
threat called Spousal Maintenance). To us honest people, we show no
resentment except that our money is gone. And if you're really in your
right mind, you really wouldn't care just how much money is gone.
Connolly, Words from a pro. Get off this medical, hypothetical,
hypocritical, stupid, idiotic, moronic, piss-antish,imbecilic, screwed
up, jargon that you call "news." You are what's wrong with the world
today. (You are one of those who give media a bad name.)
As for NotConnolly, don't aggravate him. He'll just, proverbally, kill
you, then kill himself in the process of argument.
Sincerely,

Miles, your mother and I are having a discussion. Go to your room.
NOW!
Connolly
I refer you to the remarks I made earlier in this thread. As long as you're
"NotConnolly", how can your audience possibly believe anything that you
might contend? People that hide and lie, are consistent.
With regard to "bait", you got that wrong, as well. I don't bait; I am
baited to challenge Pretense. You confuse the two because of petty tribal
loyalties. I have NONE (and certainly no scruples thereof). But I do find
them the source of great and constant amusement.
With regard to ignoring those with them: all you got to do is stop
providing great silly material. Think you and yours can do that? I don't.
And I am most grateful.

For anyone who has to make up something like this just for ATTENTION, I
swear that God had to have blessed me, in order to meet such an
anti-radio nut.
NotConnolly

Miles, youre probably right. At least one former "friend" had to threaten
legal action to keep him at a distance. He may be mistaking me for her
(which has him wrong by a factor of different gender and also of a few
dozen pounds), thus the sexist taunts in his previous messages.
Meanwhile his initial intention in posting the item and his (probably made
up) "quote" from a "senior male manager" was to stir up shit. (Like this
wannabe actually knows any radio managers. Ha!) Here and elsewhere, for
the most part, most people chose not to take his bait.
Not taking his bait is, ironically, the story of his sad life. We probably
should all just leave him alone, if only in the hope that he would do
likewise to the rest of us.
Connolly
Dearest NotConnolly,
Here's a regret. I know that I never told you this. Here goes: you got a
really cute ass. Well, in a pentamento kinda way, i.e., thirty years ago
maybe.
Nevermind.

Brian,
I don't know that you really want to explore this. Do you really want to
admit your homosexuality in public like this? Have you lost yet another
girlfriend and decided to go for the guys fulltime?
If so, you may want to find a man who is at least remotely interested in
responding to you sexually. I am ONLY interested in heterosexual
intercourse with women and am therefore not at all interested in what you
think of my ass.
But if you are really that hard up, no doubt there are men who will not
mind your admiring their asses. I say, "Go for it!" But leave mine alone.
I may otherwise have to check with Chris' lawyer to see about getting a
restraining order on you.
Instead of turning into a gay-wannabe, on the other hand, why don't you go
back to being a radio-wannabe. You weren't very good at that either, but
it always amuses the rest of us to see you thrashing around in lame
criticism of something you know nothing about.
