12-16-2009 TONYSKANSASCITY LEVELS FINN, CHRISTOPHER After several years, one would think that nothing the area's most popular blogger, Tony Botello of Tonyskansascity.com, could write that would surprise his loyal readers. You would be wrong. His current story (12/16) about Kansas City Star music reporter Tim Finn and former Star gossip guy Hearne Christopher (and current employer of Botello) might not just surprise his readers, but absolutely stun them. Finn was married to Lauren Chapin, Star reporter, who died unexpectedly a year ago. No further comment is necessary.
"While it seems there's a no-holds barred mentality in the blogosphere and everything and anything is fair game, I was shocked at reading Tony's post about this - and felt bad for doing so. Even for Tony, this was low and out of line, crude even. The further comment? He owes Tim Finn a public apology." - Mike T.
"Will he dare to show his face at a public gathering again? It could get punched in ...He is starting to remind me of the Gary Busey character in the movie "Carny."
12-17-2009 "Don't know what happened to the tkc/hc/tf article from earlier (ed: It was temporarily removed). Wow, what an eye opener it was! Juvenile, tasteless, un-newsworthy. Made tony look really petty and juvenile. However, it made you look like a pro by exposing tony. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work.
"Am curious as to why you took your TKC v. Tim Finn / H. Christopher analysis down. Thought it was spot on and allowed people to see TKC for what he really is. Just curious...well, nosy too!"
"As bad as Hearne Christopher’s gossip drivel is was it really necessary for you guys to mention that thread between Tonyskansascity and the alleged girl swapping between the Star vets? I come from a smaller community but the private lives of these guys is really not that significant. ---Gary S.
"I was actually shocked at how base and degraded TKC's post on Finn was. A new low for Botello. I noticed he made an open threat of implied violence in that post as well. This guy is putting a target on himself and practically asking for someone to go get him. I expect they will in time. I finally deleted his bookmark after this. Right after I took a shower. "Here is a case of "you can take the person out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the person." Tony is definitely "ghetto". "He will discover the unremitting and remorseless phenomena of Karma, or Reaping and Sowing and find that it's not just a philosophical theory." --- Gary Foster
