Either that, or he wants his readers to know that he operates his blog with intentional disregard for the truth and to assume that everything he posts is false, unless there is independent proof to the contrary!

The really funny thing is that all his little me-too's really, really think... er, believe... um, FEEL... that the whole rest of the copuntry actually think and live in the gutter as they do! It's the reason they have such a difficult time accepting that Gore lost, accepting that Kerry lost, accepting that Burner lost... um, is a loser.
Posted by: Ragnar Danneskjold on August 26, 2007 09:11 PMI have never read such bunch of shrill, obscene, whiney, self important bunch of morons. The things they say about Stefan and then wildly invite him to sue their anonymous identity makes one laugh. If this is what will grow up to be the "adults" in the 2020s and 30's, those of you still alive may be in worse trouble than we are now. Not only are they socialist of the far left, their potty mouths are sickening. Too bad their parents did not practice abortion with them.
Sorry Stefan, you can link HA again, but you will not get me to read another immature word or their filthy comments.
Wasn't this obvious, Stephan?
Posted by: WVH on August 26, 2007 10:23 PMStefan, I don't blame you for chewing on the attacker, but my problem is that in the eyes of the MSM, you and the other despicable excuse for a human being are somehow tied at the hip as a point-counterpoint. Next time you are asked to participate, demand that a better representative of the opposing viewpoint be chosen.

Posted by: Mr. Cynical on August 27, 2007 08:17 AMIt's never just about ideas with the left. It's about vicious, childish behaviour. If you oppose the leftist point of view they will make up lies and repeat them over and over. The pure nastiness of these people is on display every day.
Posted by: Bill Cruchon on August 27, 2007 09:49 AMLet it go. You've proven yourself to be a tacky, vindictive (the waitress was fired?!) jackass. If you think you're anything different than that and believe you've been given a bum rap, then LET IT GO. Don't respond to any of this. Otherwise, you're proving everybody correct.
Your choice.

Nice try
Posted by: Ragnar Danneskjold on August 27, 2007 11:28 AMIf only you left it at nastygrams on your blog. Instead you pursued a lame ass waitress blogger to the point where she groveled down before you in fear. I can see you getting her fired from the waitress job but man her Amazon.com job too? Man, what a vindictive jerk you turned out to be.
Maybe you should explain why you go to church in the fist place; you obviously follow Jesus' teachings of tolerance so well.
David Goldstein used your facilities and our airwaves to attack Stefan Sharkansky. Goldstein launched his attack with a lecture about disparities of power, implying that he and Sharkansky were equivalently empowered and open to public attack.
Wrong. Mr. Sharkansky was not given a three-hour per week forum by KIRO-AM. Mr. Sharkansky was not given one hour of equal time to refute and rebut Goldstein's attack. The power of your evaporating pool of listeners is given to Goldstein and is denied to Sharkansky.
Although I reject all attempts to resurrect a misnamed "fairness" doctrine, imposed by fiat, I encourage your station and corporation to do the right thing: be fair to Sharkansky. Set aside one hour of Goldstein's next show for Sharkansky's response.
Posted by: Waitress Sandwich on August 27, 2007 01:55 PMHere's the facts.
First, not one of us, unless you were there or know the girl personally etc., has any reason whatever to believe her story. We have a lot less reason to trust her than we did to trust Jayson Blair. Maybe she was telling the truth, but since we have no reason to trust her, why would you waste your time considering that possibility?
We need to be a lot more respectful of ourselves and the people around us by refusing to believe things that people won't back up. Like Rob Beidler in the SnoCo sheriff's race, saying he took it personally when I wouldn't take his word for something. It's bull. Resist belief if you don't have an actual good reason to believe.
This is, of course, not a partisan trait. Conservatives read misleading Fox News headlines, or even incorrect stories without evidence, and go running off saying that's the way it is. And this sort of thing happens every single day on DailyKos and so on. It seems to happen a lot more with liberals these days, but I think when we are angry we are more likely to believe anything that fits our anger, so that is predictable.
Second, whatever this waitress did, even if she told the truth she risked her employer's business and absolutely should have been fired. She was careless and thoughtless: you don't badmouth customers, and if she is not fired, then the public is going to be less likely to go there, for fear she may "out" them, too.
Ryan: who cares if you think Stefan is "vindictive"? Obviously you are not a manager or owner of a business that relies primarily on customer service, because if you were, you would be applauding Stefan for helping out that business. Maybe you feel bad for the girl who lost her job, but we should care more about what's right, and she was the one hurting not only Stefan -- you don't have to care about him -- but the business, too. The business owners and other employees are the real potential victims of her carelessness, but hopefully through Stefan's actions that damage can be minimized, even turned around into a positive.
So why should anyone really care about any of this, since we had no reason to believe her, she admitted she was wrong, and she has been rightfully canned?
No. I deleted the one post because the waitress apologized and retracted her false and defamatory. That would have settled my dispute with her. I saw no reason for her to incur additional negative exposure after she appologized and retracted her mistake.
Unfortunately several left-wing hate sites that dislike my opinions continue to pump this up as if a 37-year-old woman who slurs a 5-year-old child (of a right-wing blogger!) is some kind of a hero who is entitled to anonymity and to keep her job at the restaurant whose business she jeopardized.
Posted by: Stefan Sharkansky on August 27, 2007 03:00 PMFurthermore, this is *not* about politics. It's about being a reasonable human being.
Posted by: Ryan on August 27, 2007 04:50 PMAccording to the liberals, nobody's off limits. Family, spouses, off-spring? It's all fair game if their politics differ from one's own.
Careful what you wish for, fellas. Some day you'll go too far and it'll end up much worse than somebody simply losing their job. You can only scream and spit at some people for so long.
Posted by: jimg on August 27, 2007 04:53 PMAnd othertimes a cigar is a good smoke. If this was over tipping then the Shark family tipped 15% or $10 and not the 20% or $13 she felt entitled to. This thing she started was over $3? If you had read the posts you would know that sharkansky tried to engage the source and the original website to do the right thing. He pointed out that if they didn't come clean that there would be consequences. They didn't and consequences followed. Sharkansky promised to remove the posts if she retracted. She did and Sharkansky kept his word. Hmmm, is that such a novel concept for you?
Personally, I believe that the original webmaster should print a retraction but he has been hiding out and was last seen riding that little vespa of his around Freemont.
Goldy is completely irrelevant. Outside of the few extreme left nutters that visit his site and comment at his level, there are no mainstream Puget Sounders reading or listening to his shock tripe.
Goldy is all about making as big a ruckus as possible, to extend Goldy, Inc. He's not even a real Progressive. He lives his own life conservatively, and when issues effect him personally, he acts like any normal person would, with rational self interest. Which is why the Progressive movement will never go anywhere.
Goldy is a fool and a coward with his only real asset being his extreme lack of any humility. A trait which allows him to continue his quite aptly named jackass parade.
Posted by: Jeff B. on August 27, 2007 09:06 PMIn checking out his email (sdflkjds@yahoo.com), it appears that Yahoo.com has no such address. Surprise, surprise! No wonder this little wussy makes threats like this. This pile of pig droppings hasn't the balls to do it in a fashion that is traceable. Mr Yuck is just another bottom of the toilet POS.
So, Mr. Yuck- other than that you are a lame-ass punk who lacks the guts to show himself/itself, what else can you tell us about yourself?
