I don't follow the board as much as I used to and that's one of the reasons why. We have people spam posting scat porn for days and other dudes get banned for one political opinion post.

Also Lee Dupont is a creepy scumbag in that interview, what an embarrassment.

I'd ban people for derailing a thread to talk about sandwiches.   If you don't like a subject, go to another one.  Not every discussion has to be about something you like or approve of.

Fuck you, I like when a pointless threads goes to recipes, I have made several delicious meals I’ve gotten from other pals, this is not a pointless thread though and shouldn’t be derailed with people discussing sandwiches so I’ll give you this one, Chris Cole sucks

[close]

Same, its great when the threads like the gifted is derailed to talk about cooking, the Mac n Cheese discussions were fun.

On topic tho...I remember it being brought up 9yrs ago as I used to be an alcoholic who liked to watch brinks old show.  The Chase Gabor screwdriver thing still steals the show when it comes to lamest shit discussed on the show

 Nah that shit is bunk. Slap's worst schtick bar none.

LMAO. Mad at candles and acting like I did something wrong by sitting there listening to a story presented in a comedic context and periodically laughing with everybody in the room as it was being told 9 years ago. That's all you can come up with to try and disparage me and get some more fake Brink outrage going here? Eat a dick, loser.

And if you want to sit here questioning me some more, consider that we may have just left this story in the episode for a reason?

That said, it's challenging for me to come here and engage in any discourse—pleasant or unpleasant—because the moderators pick and choose what they will approve from me. Much of what I have tried to reply to over the last year or so is declined.

And whatever, it's fine. But there's no way for me to have a normal interaction here anymore. If they are kind enough to at least approve this one, please know that anyone is welcome to contact me via my IG DMs about anything they like. But if I am not interacting or replying here when addressed, that is the reason why.

Maybe I'll hit up Christine for a chat on the new show. Thanks to whomever tagged me. It's cute how you guys still think of me.

You made a mistake in that interview nine years ago. Of course, there's the benefit of hindsight now that makes that mistake bigger and uglier. Plus, you're human, you were far from the only one who's reaction to Christine's story was pretty weak/poor at that time, and that one moment in the Weekend Buzz episode (and your role in it) is not what this awful and unjust chapter in Christine's life hinges on entirely.

Having said that, your reaction here now doesn't do your case a lot of good. First, don't try to pull that 'maybe we left that story in the episode for a reason...' bullshit. You didn't. You left it in for no other reason than that you thought it was just another funny, light-hearted story that fit the show. Don't embarass yourself. Second, don't try to pretend that you're thinking about inviting Christine to your show out of kindheartedness and the wish to maybe right some wrongs. You might be thinking about it, but only as a (disturbingly amoral) way to gain some much-needed traction for your show that has suddenly presented itself in all this. If you want to (mis)use this whole thing to raise the profile of your show, why not leave Christine alone entirely, and instead invite Cole to tell him to 'eat a dick, loser'.

[close]

Couldn't be more wrong.

Yes I could. I could've switched from 'some much needed traction for your show' to 'even more traction for your already hotly anticipated and wildly popular show'. I could have said that your Pulitzer-worthy oeuvre proves that an interview with Christine would be a really great idea, and definitely within your capacity. I could have said that those penis straws in that Weekend Buzz episode were a hilarious joke that just kept getting funnier and funnier. The possibilities for being more wrong are pretty endless.

[jgonzalez]

Here cum dat brink. Why do you all summon him then get mad when he’s here lol

Fuck that weekend buzz is crazy. Asking about dick size while drinking beer out of a penis straw in front of a baby. Skate media was wild back not too long ago.  In hindsight, that story about cobra smash or whatever reads as a cry for help from Christine.  heart breaking. Sad and low when dudes physically intimidate a woman

Honestly anyone who gives themself a nickname is kinda weird. It’s in poor taste. That should be something given by the people close to you.

There was a kid we knew in middle school, and of course we all said and did stupid things back then, so I’ll give him a pass - but he wanted us to start calling him “Blade”. I mean come on. Fuck no.

This is a really bad take.

And, if you are going attach your cart to Brunk's horse you are making a big mistake. His moderation appears to have absolutely nothing to do with his politics or his values. Instead, it seems to stem from his manner of interacting with others: his insistence on responding to every comment in a thread, digging in and always escalating every discussion, always playing the victim, being easily offended, and not understanding the difference between banter and insults. He doesn't understand the rules of the playground and then escalates things well outside the bounds of a normal discussion.

I have no reason to NOT believe her. It's a very common and sad. The windshield incident is wild.

At the same time, I don't see the purpose in telling this story publicly on IG.

I get it to an extent. We all have fantasies about hurting or defaming those that have hurt us. (Again, I believe her.)

Their kids are probably thinking, 'Great, my very public parents are making accusations over social media again.'

There is no way a responsible therapist would tell her that the best way to handle this, for her family, is to make a vague IG post. I don't know who it serves.

It created 8 pages of commentary on here with numerous DM's to both Jamie and Cobra. That might not be what she intended but that's what it served.

Her post isn't vague, it's pretty straightforward she just doesn't say that it was james "chris" cobra cole, because she doesn't have to. It's about her taking something back for herself, not about the abuser. The point of her post isn't to defame cobra (which luckily it does) it's about her overcoming abuse and taking back her life. She may also see it as a way to normalize/ take away the stigma for others to come out about this kind of thing. Therapists aren't really in the business of telling people exactly what to/not to do. If she wanted to do that as a part of her healing, I think many therapists would say that was fine. Even if they advised against it, she still has the freewill to do what she wants.

Her post has already defamed him. Which was part of the purpose. She knows it will blow up here. Not entirely upset by that, but what happens later? After the engagement passes? She has a few thousand followers. I don't know that she's changing people's lives as much as complicating her own.

A therapist won't tell you what to do. They would frame questions for her to ponder as to what the ultimate goal and/or consequences of this could be. Not just for her family but for her also.

Not sure where you live but I can't think of any legal system besides maybe some Scandinavian ones that are in ANY way equipped to deal justice in situations like this. I'm too tired even to google the statistics on how 99% of this shit go unpunished. I can tell you it served me to know what kind of person one of my ex-favourite pro skaters is. I don't like fanning out on wifebeaters.

Gifted Hater did a long one on this in his latest stream. Started out pretty level-headed but by the end he was getting a lot more worked up about Slap posters he didn't agree with than his reaction to the stuff in Christine's post. Not the best look.

[grimcity]

Damn, what a shitty thing to find out... used to enjoy the guy, even interviewed him once.

The only thing I hate more than an abuser of women is an abuser of kids. That shit's fucked up... just intimidation/menacing alone is fucked. Fuck that dude.

Husband of a therapist here, correct they likely won't tell you what to do unless they are trying prevent you from killing yourself. They would ask questions for you to ponder and work through the potential outcomes different routes would lead to. If the patient thinks this is the best route to take, they would ask those framing questions and walk through the process with them. The therapist works for the patient, not the family and friends of the patient. If the patient is looking for some sort of closure from a situation and feels something like this is the best route they would support them through the process and be there to unpack how it went positive or negative.

I don't think Christine did this for clout or to change others lives, she is clearly battling something internally and felt this was the best route for her. I am sure she took her kids feeling into this. Just like when she decided to leave cobra. The kids were present during their relationship and also have their own reality of what happened. Both of the kids are also at an age where they could likely choose who to live/spend majority of their time with. Abuse, mental or physical takes a toll on a person.  Taking her name back is allowing her to move on and become the person she wants to be, the person she wasn't allowed to be in her previous relationship. They have been split up for years at this point, she is probably just getting to a point, if she is in therapy, where she is starting to feel like her own person.

My wife is a real estate agent, but many years of therapy here.  My only point is that it might cause more harm than good. People use social media in a million ways. Just because I wouldn't use IG like this doesn't mean it's a crime to do so. Regardless of intentions, having your shit out there has consequences. That's all I'm saying.
