Hi all,

I am a long time lurker first time poster (outside of Tickets). Long ago, I gave up listening to North and follow with great curiosity your posts on the boards. I will be forwarding my note to 10 others and ask them to do the same. Who knows?

Re:
Mike North Comments

Hello,

I am saddened to see Mike North again slip below the belt to help his sagging show. His comments on Obama are dumb at best and racist at worst. Since Score management refuses to address this situation, I and others have now stopped listening to his show. Additionally, I must alert you that my business will not be coming your way as long as you sponsor his show. Please note, I will be forwarding this email to ten (10) friends and will encourage them to send along to 10 as well.

I do not wish any of you personal ill will. I am just taking a stand that this type of willful social misconduct will not go unnoticed and will be acted upon by (lack of) use of my pocketbook. Please take a moment to look at how you are spending your marketing budget. Is there no better choice? Again, best wishes to all. But please find another outlet.

About me:
-White
-Male
-Married
-Kids
-$150k+ income
- I travel, buy surround sound, refi my properties, throw parties, buy insurance, eat out, visit my dentist twice a year, etc.

What has been proven:
-Mike North partitioned a possible future president's "talent" based on his race
-Paul Agase confirmed Mike North's statement was, indeed said
-Mike North has threatened lawsuits on message board participants due to these types of letters

I'm not interested in having a running dialog (you, of course, may respond) regarding your take on Mike North as I know he is a great guy; is a lot of laughs, takes care of "his" people; so on and so on. I am interested in building a society where actions take precedence, not the color of a person's skin, his nationality, nor his sexual preference. I prefer to focus on the color green as, I'm sure, you are quite interested in that color.

I guarantee all the groups listed above will be part of my mailing and will be encouraged not to do business with you until this issue is put to bed.

Best Regards,

Mark

I have verified his Lurker status and he is no longer allowed in the State of Idaho

Ellen,

I feel you've been asking me to do this for quite some time. I will delete you post haste. Please don't be offended if I ask ten friends to do so as well

Best Regards,

Mark

My reply:


Hi Paul,

Thanks for reading my note, but I see no value in speaking with you.

I am not an arbitron HH so there is no effect to you if I listen or not. The morning guy's body of work speaks for itself. I'm not trying to take anyone's career down or to have the Score lose revenue. Nor am I beating my chest and taking the high moral ground. I am just tired of what I "hear" from a grown person in my hometown. The Score and Mike North can offer so much more than what is presented. Let's face it, the more people call, email, text: the more successful the "stunt". I choose niether of the three options and take door #4: telling sponsors I'm fed up.

I guess the ethnic jokes my Irish father told me in my youth don't seem as funny today as my kids make friends across all ethnic, racial and sexual divides. I do, however, find it amusing that Mike North is threatening to sue people like me (excercising my free speech) in defending his free speech to marginalize a black presidential hopeful based on his race.

I wish you and Mike well, I'm just not spending my money on show sponsors and will explain to my friends why I am taking such action.

Best Regards

I would enjoy your crusade a whole lot more if your only intention was to, in fact, bring down Mike North's career.

Once all this blows over, could you please try and get JEFFINTROTTER off the air, too?
