It's a train wreck of attention seeking unsubstantiated diatribe that leans so far to the Right she could have worked for Goebbels.<BR/><BR/>She's Lazarus for sure. The personal attacks and hatchet man style are pure Ramage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406179588496122501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10121068.post-39643173674651237262008-12-17T14:04:00.000-05:002008-12-17T14:04:00.000-05:00i knew as soon as i read it that lazarus is withou...i knew as soon as i read it that lazarus is without a doubt stephanie. it's not beyond reason that ken might have given her a less-than-glowing recommendation had a potential employer called for a reference. but the assertion that he set out to financially ruin her is absurd.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135103940453233805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10121068.post-5817865083230914552008-12-16T14:22:00.000-05:002008-12-16T14:22:00.000-05:00John Sugg send me the following e-mail and asked m...John Sugg send me the following e-mail and asked me to paste it here:<BR/><BR/>Since I'm involved, albeit unintentionally and obliquely, I'd like to say that the Ken Edelstein "Lazarus" described isn't the Ken Edelstein I know.<BR/><BR/>Ken is certainly passionate, and sometimes that passion morphed into regrettable anger. He has gone through incredibly stressful times at Creative Loafing. His bosses have been consistently inconsistent, erratic, lacked clear direction, and clearly placed little value on what they should value most: Great content.<BR/><BR/>Through all of that, Ken tried to develop talent and put out a great newspaper. I have often disagreed with Ken -- sometimes our shouting matches were so loud they became a spectator sport. Yet, I have never known him to be intentionally vengeful.<BR/><BR/>Ken's final act at CL was precipitated by his standing up for great content and for his staff. I don't know what happened seven or eight years ago with "Lazarus" -- I wasn't in Atlanta then -- but I do know than in any meaningful sense, Ken departed CL a hero. His bosses are shamed by how they treated Ken; he has every right to be proud.Andisheh Nouraeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669583665732640520noreply@blogger.com
