UPDATED: Approx. 11 p.m., July 29, 2008: Looks like the Adrian Insider blog pulled the posts about James Koren (some time ago), and the issue was resolved with Koren’s apology (in case you weren’t following it). Koren recently asked me to remove the link, like the Adrian Insider did. Though I don’t have a policy about it, I see no reason to remove posts, but will provide this update. I also changed the headline and post slug. And, in no way did I mean to imply that Koren is stupid. Just what he did was stupid — and he’s a big enough man to apologize for his judgement in error, as noted in the original post below. We’ve all made mistakes. Heck, even I make mistakes (gotta stop linking to that post!).
Courtesy of ToledoTalk and The Adrian (MI) Insider, there’s another example of someone — James Rufus Koren — making comments about work — this time a co-worker — and thinking only his friends would read it.
“This morning, I found out that people outside of my close circle of friends have been reading this blog.
Of course, it was never intended for readers outside of that group, and so there have been some posts - most notable “Delayed Talker” - that I never should have posted.”
Koren is a reporter for the Adrian Daily Telegram (which serves the city of my alma mater).
Of course, Koren has apologized, but will it be enough to save his job?
Guess J. Rufus will have to figure it out!
