Take a Hikey, Mikey
Just because someone is vocal about being a Christian, that doesn't mean that they "drape [themselves] in self-righteousness." If I'm basing my opinion of you solely on the way you write about Mikey's faith, I'd think you have an issue with Christianity in general. Maybe you're not aware, but being Christian doesn't make us infallible, and it doesn't give us the moral high ground. That's the beauty of having a Savior. We don't have to be perfect, we just have to try to live our lives like Christ did. Guess what? We slip up all the time. You seem to have some deep-rooted notion that Christians are hypocritical and overzealous. Some are. Mikey is not. As far as his old cast members are concerned, not all of them would have bad things to say about Mike. Anyway, I'm going to wash my hands of this conversation and move on with my life. I suggest you build a bridge, and then get over it.— March 16, 2012 8:43 a.m.

That's a cop out argument, Ken. When Mike had had a chance to cool down, he apologized. I'm not saying that what he did was right, I'm just saying that if THAT is your ONLY instance of "acidic tirades" (which you pluralized, by the way, not me), then you need to provide more examples. I don't know about Scott Kaplan, but Rush has a history of being incendiary. Mikey didn't, at least not after he became a born-again Christian. Your straw man arguments aren't going to work with me, unfortunately. I asked for more specific examples. I think you'll be hard-pressed to find them.— March 15, 2012 7:41 p.m.

"Acidic tirades"? If you can name one other instance of Mikey being either "acidic" or going on a "tirade," aside from being upset with 91X for staging a counter-program to his Mikeython, which raises money for the Autism Discovery Institute at Children's Hospital (a cause that is very dear to his heart as his son Jake is diagnosed with autism), please cite it. Like Mike Gage said, Mike's initial reaction was a combination of hurt/sadness/fear, also known as anger. You guys at the Reader seem to be a little bit snarky about this whole Mikey leaving situation. Can we show a little compassion and stop speculating for the time being, as there could be some very grave reasons that Mikey is no longer working at LFM? Or is that too much to ask?— March 15, 2012 5:32 p.m.
FM 94/9 Cancels Morning Talk Mikey Show
It's M1 Nation, not M1 Army. And it would be really great if you could take the snarky tone out of your story. Mikey is a bastion for a lot of San Diego listeners, including "straightedge Christians" - especially the cleaned-up, born-again kind. A little compassion would be appreciated.— March 8, 2012 1:45 p.m.
