Jay - The issue I see here isn't with you. I'm sure you're doing exactly what the Reader has asked you to do. My concern is that when a Reader photographer shows up at an event, particularly a local event where San Diegans are just being themselves, they may not be aware that posing for a Reader picture is also agreeing to a hearty jabbing by the Reader staff. If these pictures were taken at Comic Con, or a Street Fair (with drinking), I don't think the Reader is going to get comments back from unhappy readers. However, this nice little convention is where this crowd is allowed to cos-play with little fear of getting that "you're weird" response. Unfortunately, the Reader has now played that role. To be honest, the Reader has also been very kind to this same crowd, and for that, I applaud them for the recent positive articles. So please take this as just feedback. When the Reader is great, we cheer. When we feel like the Reader is poking your audience in the eye, we let you know. So, "Ouch! That hurt. Let's go back to being friends again." Bottom line: I want to be able to able to tell participants that's it's a good thing to pose for the Reader's photographers, rather than tell them to wave the photographers off because the paper will be making fun of you in public.— April 5, 2014 12:48 a.m.
