OK, why was Mackey's personnel file being reviewed by the board? What had he done other than perform board business and radio engineer business? It seems he was a highly appreciated board member and experienced radio engineer. Something stinks like fish. Hadrian seems to hang his hat on the open meeting / closed meeting re: EAS as the reason. I say Bull 'bubblegum'. Hadrian, what are you hiding too? Maybe it stinks of Bull 'bubblegum' more than fish.

I say Bull Shit. Hadrian, what are you hiding too? Maybe it stinks of Bull Shit more than fish. we got email copies we're not publishing yet because they have stuff involved w/fitch and we know she's lawyered up and it might hurt whatever they're doingfrom what i recalled reading fitch emailed mackey about unauthorized access her tone was civil and reasoned mackey's reply was all kbot weirdness and this was right after he'd been elected to the board so.......wtf was that about? to reply directly was he? by who? he'd just been elected. or had be been appointed after someone bailed? yep. like huge gaps in the owen/kboo.info story we've been patient but he's not filling in those gaps. it's been weeks. let's go meta a secondthe kbots want people to fight about this shit then they can say oh that's all drama that's why those people are gone or some shit brings up more questions -why join the forum and attack hadrian? and cast aspersions on fitch? possible answer: divide and conquer. demoralize both fitch and hadrian or he really felt fucked over unfairly except he changed his october/november story we had a leak that mackey was actually the one manipulating owen sorry, we believe the source thinks that's true but its crap glen owen has been involved in the sleazy conspiracy scene for years with mitchell and other groups the most that could be true is mackey is also part of the sleazy conspiracy scene either owen scammed mackey or they were working together we really want to believe mackey was scammed it happens so much with these clowns but we'll follow the evidence this tl;dr analysis is beside the point we go cautiously because kbot history shows they thrive on drama and conflict getting peeps to do their dirty work give us facts we'll look at facts

"I think you are wrong about Glen Owen being a friend of Ani's. I don't think they could be further apart unless something has changed in the last year." Dude, don't know what planet you've been on, but Owen has been a friend of Theresa, and therefore Ani, FOR YEARS. This is not a secret....expect to people still koolaided by the micro-cult. I'll dig around in my files and get back to you. Just rattling your cage here. Be nice if you still had something archived. it'd be great if we got something before dying of old age.

I say Bull Shit. Hadrian, what are you hiding too? Maybe it stinks of Bull Shit more than fish. I was not at the meeting where Conch brought John's personnel file to the board. Ask Conch why he did it. What did I do when I learned about Conch doing so? I worked to get him removed from the board. What did John do when he learned about file-gate? He called for a tit-for-tat review of the files of another staff person joining the board.
John called for petty and inconsequential tit-for-tat retaliation. I called for Conch to be held accountable.
I was removed from the board for whistleblowing about the public actions of the board, and for being a major source for the very public Willamette Weekly story about KBOO. John was removed from the board for making confidential information public -- something he himself said more than once should not be done.
I'm calling bull-shit on John's false-equivalence attempt to say that my removal from the board was at all like his removal from the board. I was removed from the board for trying to hold the board accountable. John is all butt-hurt by my acting to hold him accountable, then and now. He's likely going to be unhappy at my providing proof that he is lying about why he made the EAS information public. I can live with that. I'm disliked by most of the KBOO staff due to my efforts over the past 2+ years to have the board hold the staff accountable.
See a pattern here? I just don't care if the KBOO crowd likes me or not. I was on the board to do a job, not be part of a radio club.
So, in response to the the documented facts about John's wrong-doing and his lies about it, an anonymous person asks, with unintentional irony, what is Hadrian hiding? Just my awesomeness Mr. Unknown. Except for my profound inability to create a good analogy , its an awesomeness that is like an awesome something, maybe a rainbow or a puppy.

You're probably more correct,Hadrian, calling back at my comment here. I guess I am mostly just upset that my favorite radio station in town is just going down the tubes. The degradation of this station is obvious to many of us long time listeners. Many of you have much more time invested than I do.
Thanks for spilling the beans in the open like you are doing here on this site.

Immediately after or nearly coinciding with John Mackey accessing the computer logs and reporting the EAS being out of compliance, an anonymous complaint was filed against KBOO with the FCC informing the FCC that KBOO's EAS was out of compliance.

Both Hadrian and John have at times been right, and at times done things that could have been done better. We could spend weeks in the morass of who said what when why how and not be any closer to the goal of better community media in Portland.
Let's not litigate what has no long term urgency.

To the Admins and others here who regard certain people as allies : The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend. The goal of better community media will be achievable only with the help of people whose priority is the community, not their own petty self-serving agenda.

Both Hadrian and John have at times been right, and at times done things that could have been done better. Both Pol Pot and Mahatma Ghandi have at times been right, and at times done things that could have been done better. Trite truisms and false-equivalencies like this are a not so useful strategy for trying to quell conflict, but not at all helpful in figuring out who has and can be helpful to the efforts here. Again, I'm not in conflict with John. John is in conflict with his own words. We can agree to move on, yes, without trying to play all nicey nicey.

Hadrian, you're coming unglued. Pol Pot? Trying to get OFS to "unfriend me"? Enemy of my enemy?
And I thought KBOO was a waste of my time.
Ya want another KBOO story? Here's one I'll put in my note to the FCC. When I was going to be a board operator, I took the "training", then I had to be "certified" by the staff member who did that kind of stuff. During all trainings I asked about what we have to to for emergencies. The trainers pointed at the EAS reader board and said "if that goes off there will be a message that tells you what to do". That was the sole training. I objected, and said that really wasn't helpful. Then the trainers said "it will never happen anyway, but there's a red binder there that says emergencies, if you don't know what to do all the procedures are in the red binder".
That was my sole training for the EAS at KBOO for a board operator at a FCC licensed 26KW FM radio station in Portland Oregon. I was thereby trained to do shifts by myself on Sunday with no one else in the station. No kidding.
The damn thing went off while I was live on mic during one of my shows on a Sunday morning. It was a test, not an actual emergency. I got down the binder, read the pages and found that I had ten minutes to get certain tasks done. I looked for the key to activate the EAS. It was not where the red binder said it would be. I put on a long piece of music and ran screaming through the station looking for anyone who knew the procedure or knew where the damned key was. No one knew more than me (several board operators and Mr. Bruce Silverman I think was also there, 22 years remember!)
I finally found the key, did the steps, and the damned thing went off with about thirty seconds to spare. I was so shaken up by the experience that the rest of the show was crap. No one in the building remembered even being told as much in their training as I was given, and not a soul in the Sunday music block had ever done an EAS test before or remembered anything about the EAS. I couldn't find any place to log the test, so I wrote on the regular station log sheet that I did an EAS test and the time. I never could get the reader board to reset, it most likely played the test message until sometime on Monday morning.
So ... I'm glad John went to the FCC. It's about time KBOO acted like a radio station. I can't believe I was left in charge with such crappy training.
