I had no idea that attractive women existed.

@13: So, you seriously didn't realize that saying "seattlecrime.com hasn't posted anything about this" multiple times, in the same story, would sound like "yo! we scooped Jonah! w00t!!"?
What exactly am I reading too much in to?
Dog bites man: not news. Man bites dog: news. By the same token, when seattlecrime.com scoops the Stranger, it's noteworthy. When the Stranger scoops seattlecrime.com, it's not.

@10: Yeah, I could have done a better job of reading there. Oops. Anyway, I've attempted to correct my mistake.

I wish to retract my comments @7 in re Dominic, and redirect them to Christopher, as I realized that he was the person supplying the petty in this post.
Seriously, Chris, whatever your beef with Jonah, this kind of crap scores points for him and against you. I found it baffling that he was let go in the first place, but the ongoing need for some sort of score-settling at his expense . . .
Grow up?

You know, I understand the urge to point out that the major local professional news outlets are missing this story. But the insistence on including your former, classier co-worker's startup crime blog on this list is astoundingly petty.
Seriously, Dominic, what happened to you that caused you to become the scattershot pissing machine that you are?

@19: Yessir. Before there were anonymous comments on blogs, everyone with the tiniest urge to fuck with people just went on a shooting rampage instead.

@24: But, really, that explanation is of the type that only raises yet another question. *Why* were you writing from a pre-Mendelian understanding of inheritance? Is this your understanding of inheritance? If not, why not go with what you know, rather than playing dumb?

Dick move, maybe, but seriously, more people need to understand that anonymity on the internet is the exception to the rule. Yes, with a few simple tools you can leave anonymous jerky comments without leaving any identifying details, but the vast majority of people who leave those sorts of jerky comments don't bother.
I'm with #4. The fact that he resigned indicates there was something more beyond just saying "cunt" on the internet while at his desk. Maybe not, but my inclination is to agree with that conclusion.
And even if not, the bottom line is that the internet is all about dick moves. Don't leave yourself vulnerable to them. Assume that every time you leave a comment from your work IP address, someone will be a dick about it and try to get you fired. And it only takes one dick to make a dick move.
I agree with #13's solution. When I have time to comment on something at work, it will be posted from my phone. And I was retroactively on break when it happened. And how did you get this number?

@22: Yep. I realized that I misread the scene in a way that specifically excluded that scenario. And that does look like what happened, from the photos alone.
However, I will not accept a hippy bullshit term like "freerailed." Uck.

@17: Well, you know, lots of people wanted this train, lots of people would like it to expand, you're incorrect to think that it goes nowhere, and it is working pretty efficiently. One incident out of thousands of runs isn't a debacle.
Yes, it did take way too long. I'll agree with that.
As for no one being on it: this is frequently true of trains that are going out of service for the day. They go back to the depot, with no one on them. The alternative, I suppose, would be to multiply operating costs astronomically and maintain peak-hour service 24/7. Then, empty trains would never go to the depot. And we would have service every 7 minutes in the pre-dawn hours of Mondays. Great idea.
