JFMAST returns to his soapbox and starts to talk...

"RonaldCarabbia, you claim to have no familial knowledge of The Star Examiner newspaper. That being the case, I took ownership of said publication and lost it to Grin-22. He is likely to hammer it into the ground with ineptitude. As I suspect you are aware The Star Examiner is one a number of titles owned, managed, and edited by a number of individuals associated which are loosely known as the "Dominic" lineage. The Dominic lineage have historic enmity towards the former Kuku lineage which is commonly accepted as having been retired for some time. I looked at members of the Dominic lineage and their tattoos. You, Ronald, have similar tattoos. I have questions: Why do you have a tattoo allowing Chicago members to pick your pocket when you are in a Detroit outfit? Can your lineage be trusted to be impartial, given the enmity towards the Kuku lineage, despite that lineage being retired? Finally, who funds your publication? Boat drinks, Roland. Boat drinks."

"To recap:

"Why do you have a tattoo allowing Chicago members to pick your pocket when you are in a Detroit outfit?

 

Can your lineage be trusted to be impartial, given the enmity towards the Kuku lineage, despite that lineage being retired?

 

Finally, who funds your publication? Boat drinks, Roland. Boat drinks."

Talking of things I hammered into the ground, JFMAST, I was hoping after I front kicked your father's face into the shadow realm, you would learn from his mistakes and know not to tussle with me. I am the owner of The Star Examiner, what of it? It is one of many such publications I own. You don't spend as long as I did working for SeanCallan and befriending his basement hound without learning how to create a media conglomerate. I like to keep my options open, is that a crime? Having a famous newspaper with a broad readership is something that might be useful to me some day. Maybe some day soon I will need it to print the truth, as it will at least be somewhere where I am not the victim of libelous nonsense. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, Ronald.

Anyway, I don't see how any of this is any business of yours. I think it would better for Detroit as a whole if you did your own washing from now on. It wouldn't take me 10 rounds this time, that is all I've got to say about it. 

"I may be reached by mail at my address. There is no reason to make a fuss in public about some wild theories of yours. Additionally, last I checked, City Hall wasn't too crazy about hounding people about their lineage when they aren't even made."

"I don't recall saying any death was good, and I certainly don't believe any death to be good. I reported on the death, as the execution of a LHM is nothing to sneeze at. The trial was also well-publicized, with considerable public interest."

"I will be sure to inform your CL, as well as mine, about this threat." Ronald walks off, hands in his pockets.

His newspaper, if you can even call it that, regularly prints lies about me claiming that I'm trying to take over the team and other such nonsense. I am hoping that Ronald has gone to ground to get the latest facts about the happenings in Detroit, rather than just making them up to suit his own biased agenda. 

As to you becoming the potential owner of this rag, I couldn't think of many things worse for it to be honest. Your biggest achievements to date are being the son of a guy I made a 10 egg omelette out of and chickening out of a duel with the late, great FatherMacklePenny. Where's your capital coming from for the purchase, huh? How is a known swindler like you going to improve the notoriously tardy payments of this operation? You've got more retired jerseys in your family history than delivered-upon promises. Son. Are you even qualified for such a position? I hardly think so.
