I was not the only blogger who did not like the guy. People often commented at Mashable that they were not going to read the publication anymore due to his drivel – which often leverage social media subjects to get across his lockstep, Bush bootlicking political spurts.

Mashable was not a place I wanted read partisan politics, so I left.

I could not find his name on the first few pages at Mashable, then found out he ‘left’ in December last year. Or was sacked by Cashmore more likely.

I made a few irate comments on some of his most pathetic articles and was not his biggest fan as you can see.

Why is the pinhead allowed to continue to scratch all over Mashable with his infantile political opines?
Does mentioning what is happening at Wikipedia merit publication here?
Someone should strap a canine Elizabethan Collar on Rizzn’s to protect him (and us) from his navel gazing, gnawing, cogitations on political matters.
I don’t come to Mashable to read wingnuts. In fact, I come here to read about Social Media.
As part of your international audience… I don’t really care to read about American politico at any rate, never mind when ejaculated by an imbecile whose leg humping attempts at polemic fall far short of the Mashable readership standards.
He can barely string two words together, never mind offer anything of real substance.
If you want to make this place political, then you might think about balancing your editorial – lest you become a de facto cousin of the moronic, littlegreenfootball fascistas and – then some lefty will haul off half the Mashable audience in revolt because you’ve become known as the Social Media’s version of Free Republic.

I am more than adept at my job – that’s why I can see you are abusing your position here to further your political agenda.
My political leanings are clear – and I keep them where they belong. They are not ‘Left’ either – I am more of a social anarchist than anything.
I publish a lot of ideas from both sides of the aisle at www.freepressgroup.eu – from a pool of 350 academics, journalists, bloggers and adept writers. So I am – in fact – in a very good position to judge your lame attempts at political analysis… which are nothing more than exercises in partisan propaganda.
Keep yours off Mashable thanks. I think you are trashing the site with the political drivel you write. Stick to what this topic. Social Media

Then there was this one:

When it comes to politics – you should keep your opinions to yourself whilst writing about social media… and don’t even bother to try and be objective. Because you fail miserably.

Let’s rip the not-very-subtle right wing agenda being dumped on Mashable by Rizzn.

First off, I am not surprised you had a ‘hard time’ with high school but am not surprised they let you in any educational institution beyond that.

Barack Obama = link provided by Rizzn points out his middle name is Hussein… and nothing more. Wow… and he’s been the subject of rumours of ‘varying veracity ‘ Rizzn-speak’ for most of them are true.

Rizzn is a prime example of the abuse of ‘speaking with authority’ – if only because he abuses his position at mashable to un-enlighten us with partisan politics embedded in a light coat of social media.

Linking to Michelle Malkin? On Mashable? Please… She adds absolutely nothing to genuine political discourse… Malkin has defended the forced internment of Japanese Americans (she had the audacity to write a book called “In Defense of Internment”) to justify harsher governmental policies today in the treatment of Arab and Muslim Americans. Using her as a source for anything is reprehensible on a Social Media site.

And you say that ‘people on both sides of the ideological aisle worked together to find the truth amidst the spin’ over the the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth? There’s not a chance on that issue. Please. I am sure you and your friends at www.littlegreenfootballs.com worked together on the three Right Wing issues you kindly linked us too…

“Microblogging isn’t a suitable format for complex ideas. “

Um. No kidding.

“Truth isn’t determined by popular vote”

Try reading The Wisdom of Crowds – by James Surowieck and rethink that statement. It’s the backbone of social media and probably the only clear argument or chance that social media has in terms of becoming a tool for mainstream news delivery. In fact, your statement sounds like it should come out of the mouth of a fascist.

“Fleeting thoughts are less authoritative than researched persuasive speech. “

Wow… now that’s completely enlightening… I expect that statement was a rather fleeting thought.

“We Need to Think About This Going Forward “

No. You need to stop writing about politics.

“…despite how impressive my intellect may appear.”

It’s not.
