Ghomeshigate

Regardless of who's right or who's wrong, just looking at the collections of articles over this topic shows what the landscape is like in this era of social media justice. I've just read through a few articles posted with reasonably hysterical titles that basically say "I worked for Ghomeshi in the past, nothing happened, but phew, I bet it nearly did". I.e. tons of people associating themselves with the story for nepharious ends or 15 minutes of fame. The circus surrounding this story is nearly as interesting as the story itself.

I haven't read a ton of stuff beyond this thread but my hunch is that Ghomeshi generally conducted himself in a fashion that would invite a lot of shadenfruede. He may well be the talk show host version of the anti social biker who runs over his own foot and t bones a car at Timmies.
 
Don't know if this was posted already, but a professor at the university of western Ontario said internships with Ghomeshi was off limits because of his inappropriate behavior, this was in 2012.

wow. where did you read that ?

cause I read that it "wasnt advised" ... i know that in the eyes of many it doesnt matter, but this is a major difference in the 2.

this kind of reminds me warning a friend to stay away from a friend you know.
doesnt mean he was doing anything illegal, just a person you wouldnt want to be around

im not defending the dude,
but i try to weigh the evidence without making it personal.
i still dont think ( from the evidence reported so far ) that he did anything wrong.

Just tried reading about this right now. So some chick cheats on her boyfriend and 4Chan gets involved and pretty much turn it into a crusade against some made up cause about video games and journalism?

Would your feelings about this matter change if you'd met him personally and he treated you like the nobody he's convinced your are and drove that point home perfectly?

no, my feelings would not matter. feelings and facts are 2 different things

if you want to properly investigate the facts, you need to do it without emotions.
I'd actually make an excellent Jury member.

But he did something wrong, at the very least, he assaulted women. You can't consent to being punched and choked.

i guess you could say "she was asking for it " hehehe
im still waiting for proof that he did anything wrong.

they claim rape or assault... well....

lets see some evidence
Dr's notes, pics, police report/restraining order...

surely 1 of these 9 ladies must have done something

Pictures or it never happened
 
If you're going to get into this stuff, there's got to be a support group you could contact to find out the rules, plus potential partners. I'm not sure why one wouldn't just try that, rather than testing it on random women.

He showed proof. He showed the CBC a video, that's why they fired him.

he showed CBC a video of him not raping or assaulting anyone. why would anyone show a video of a rape or assault in progress.

unless......... do you think the video shows the woman/women asking him to keep going ? lol


im still going with what i think... these ladies wanted to try their own 50 shades and found out 40 of those shades were too dark.. hehe


lets see some evidence that he broke a law, why should your employer care what you do in your bedroom.

if he was a crossdresser would he have been fired ?
