Hey Randomizer Man!
I don't think Jon lied, per se. I think he only captured what he wanted to capture. And, like I said earlier, it's been his intention only to spread seeds of doubt where he knew winds would carry.
His sense of fairness, balance and objectivity on Zulu were, in my view, destroyed when he refused to take a certain poster to task after they posted that the company was performing illegally. After all, if truly the understanding-type sort he portrayed himself to be, why did he not comment on this? As he previously hinted, it was his job to do so, since--as he claims--he owned no Zulu shares and therefore supposedly held the better viewpoint.
Why didn't he? Because his purpose has clearly been to instill those seeds of doubt--help shake the money-tree, so to speak--as evidenced when he earlier attempted to plant the idea of a Zulu investigation. In effect, all Jon has done has been to parrot what Wired presented; nothing more, nothing less.
I still think he's an interesting character and, of course, the world needs a little bit of everyone. Doesn't it? |
