Ho...Good to hear from you all, BBQ, ETP1 and anons. Hope the scene over at MTC gets cleaned up and those fires die out. The conversation over there is usually very good.<br /><br />Anon 8:06, like your opinions there. Agree totally, that something left with him. He was able to connect with the P1 like no other guy up there.

He was the last member of the on air staff who was still connected with the listener in a personal way. I understand why the others aren't. I understand how things got to be the way they are. So I'm not going to say anything negative about it. I get it. The station is bigger than ever. The numbers don't lie. Still. The "We're one of you" aspect of The Ticket left the building with Grubes's exit. He "got" the original feel of the station and its relationship with the listener in a way that I believe many of the day one hosts have long since forgotten. I miss that. And I miss Shoopy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864267432598242168.post-64718133442942997122014-03-04T19:59:21.476-08:002014-03-04T19:59:21.476-08:00East Texas:

He might put up something every now and then, but I kinda doubt it. Regardless if whether he ever posts anything up again, I bet he never enables comments. I think he finally hit his wits end (rock me!) with the ball busting. I also noticed that Pman disabled the comments on his latest thread. I guess it got too testy. There also seems to be a troll who constantly makes one or two line Corby bash hit and runs. Maybe the troll or trolls got out of hand. One thing I have noticed is that there are a few regulars (some named, some anons) who seem to be unable to carry on a dialogue without getting personal or political. I won't name the named contributors, but it's not too hard to figure out who they are. A cursory glance tells it all. It sucks because most of these culprits have lots of interesting things to say. But they seem unable to let others disagree with them or have a different take on the world. They have to be right, always, or so it seems. Anyways it's a shame. It's turning me off of Pman's mostly kick butt site. I think for now, I'll start hanging out here a bit more often. While it's a bit too much on The Ticket can do no wrong end of the spectrum for my tastes, it's pretty darn good. Plus it hasn't yet been infested with trolls and the types I described above.BBQnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864267432598242168.post-67354604745700772572014-03-04T14:03:49.520-08:002014-03-04T14:03:49.520-08:00Richie turned off his paywall but you still have t...Richie turned off his paywall but you still have to be a member to leave a comment. I sent him an e-mail asking if this was deliberate or an inadvertent oversight. Have not heard back yet.<br /><br />And now the Plainsman has disabled comments over on MTC.

I really don't know how to respond to this other than to say I can't believe it happened. <br /><br />The Ticket has been and will always be the greatest thing in my life. I'm disappointed I couldn't make a career out of it, but that's the business. I still love the station and I still love the guys there, and thankfully they still love me too. My time there is over, but the Ticket will always be a part of me.<br /><br />Thanks again for the kind words. Means a lot to me!Grubeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248969317490084148noreply@blogger.com
