Pitch Punk Peter Rugg Fights Like A Bitch

Ah . . . Kansas City Newsies never cease to amaze me . . . They talk all day and night about their "credibility" but when it comes down to it . . . The vast majority of them are timid, would rather type tough than debate face to face and when it comes down to it they act like petty old ladies.

To wit . . . KC Confidential details a fantastic run in with a Pitch writer that turned nasty. Check it:

Around midnight Thursday when Pitch staff writer Peter Rugg exited Lew’s Grill & Bar in Waldo, executed a finger point shout out to me, then hurled his drink striking me, a waitress and Lew’s co-owner Andy Lewellen.

Seriously dude? What kind of grown man throws a drink?

I don't know how things work in Waldo . . . But on the Westside I'm absolutely sure that kind of sissy move would get a grown man killed. Then again . . . This is a "Journalism" debate we're talking about . . . Wordsmiths like Nadia "For the Love of God stop calling me a chickenhead" Pflaum and even the Lesbionic overlord C.J. Janovy are great at stirring up discontent but duck their heads and start running when things get "real" up close and personal . . . It's one thing to tweet something nasty . . . It's quite another to stand behind it or participate in a discussion. Poor Peter Rugg . . . It looks like he was caught up in the web of bravado spun by beeatches typing on a keyboard. Sexist or no . . .

A real man knows when to ignore the feigned outrage of silly women.

And about this time I'm glad that bloggers are not part of the effete world of newsies fighting over so-called "credibility" . . . Because it all seems rather lame and while the blogosphere is place for debate, disagreement and discontent . . . I've yet to see or hear of something so stupid as a grown man acting like Audrey Hepburn and spilling a drink on a dude and then running away.

Real talk: Pitch Staffers seem more and more frustrated as Likeme.net and the devious plans of Village Voice Media seemingly move toward replacing so many of them.

If Hearne is spilling the facts (likely) this is a pussy move for Peter Rugg.

More Real Talk . . . Nadia and C.J. what you're doing is dangerous and you're dealing with forces that you don't truly understand. People around you humor you and listen to your B.S. but the angst, hate and frustration that both of you emanate from unsatisfied fajitas (or whatever) shouldn't lead to real world physical altercations . . . Fighting among writers is silly and unsavory and the level of angst spewed for by you two is getting out of control . . . I know this because cooler heads talk behind your back and are amazed at your lack of humor, wit and style . . . Also because middle-class white women make everyone suffer if they haven't found a worthwhile cause. Natch. If you two can't play nice without provoking hate . . . A spanking might be in order . . . Or maybe it's just time for Village Voice to clean house a little bit more thoroughly at a paper that prints a surprisingly meager amount of copies and is in worse shape than most realize.
