OK,

So I didn't want to tell anyone until it was official, but I've been hired to replace Jack Todd on a permanent basis as the Montreal Gazette's resident hockey writer/complainer. I my first article will be in Saturday's paper, I was approached after someone at the Gazette read my alternative sports articles for another publication (I've written about MMA, paintball, scuba diving, parkour etc.).

Anyways, it's common practice for bosses to check a potential hire on the internet for anything embarrassing. Luckily I don't have a Facebook or Flickr account, so there are no drunken, nipple-exposing, cigar-chomping pics of me online. The thing is I ran searches and discovered I have written a lot of sexist, racist, ageist, midget insulting and curse word-laden posts on OTP. I was wondering if you could mass-delete all my posts. Also, Razz's posts came up when I was searching for racist stuff too, so would you mind deleting all of his posts?

I know it seems extreme, but Stu Cowan said he would be thorough in his checks and I don't want to ruin my potential dream job. I'll be removing my Rachel Bilson avatar later as well.

Thanks Jyrki for your understanding.

I've changed the name and taken down the avatar. Now that I have a fanbase to take care of, I can no longer say or do anything offensive. It would be bad company policy to do so.

That reminds me, I think I need to write my posts in french too. And twice as large.

J'ai change mon nom et j'ai enleve mon avatar. Parce que j'ai maintenant des amateurs qui vont lire mes articles, c'est important de ne pas dire quelque chose offensive.

Amazing news, EL! I'll start editing both your sets of posts ASAP.

I won't delete them outright, so as not to disrupt your post-count, though.

Thanks a lot Jyrki. Specifically, Razz posted a lot of offensive things on the Habs board the higher ups weren't happy about.

1. Take away any mention of french players in a negative light
e.g. any time anyone says Steve Begin, write "beautiful flower" before it
2. Remove any mention of Saku Koivu and him being "glad" that he had cancer

Merci beacoup Jyrki. Razz a ecrit des choses plutout offensive specifiquement dans les postes du Canadien.

Man, this is exciting! Congrats, Erik! Going from Jack Todd to you is probably the best Habs related trade in decades!

Sorry if this sounds presumptous, but can you score me some tickets if I come down?

Est-ce que ceci suffit pour Razz?

Great to hear...Hockey is much more important than music or video games.

Congratulations Erik!
Wow! We have an official hockey reporter now!

And so... If you want to come to Toronto to celebrate, I still have 2 tickets to the Jays/Red Sox for Friday!

And I would happily share any Laffs/Habs tickets with you next season!

Very Happy

Shocked

Are you trying to imply that we have all been duped by a really great April Fools Day prank?

That would be so funny if it's true!

It only partially succeeded. Razz was supposed to read about my request to edit his posts and we'd all have a good laugh.
