Internet message board mean to lay reporters
METRO CALGARY
May 13, 2009 7:42 a.m.

A local Calgary message board claiming to be your 24/7 hockey source has proved to be little more than a hangout for juvenile delinquents with nothing better to do than chastise and embarrass innocent outsiders not part of the community, a local reporter discovered. While attempting to get members of www.calgarypuck.com to do his job for him, Metro's John Mess's request was met with thick sarcasm and thinly-veiled homoerotic overtures.

"You're doing it wrong," stated another local Calgary journalist who agreed to speak to Metro on the condition of anonymity. "You don't ask CP [Calgary Puck] for help to write one of your stories. You just troll the board and write a column based on a thread topic like you thought of the idea yourself. Also, I like cake."
