What was up with that Justin Westbrook post that has now dissappeared? Also Benz and two Jaaags for your time.

My guess is someone with the power and good judgement removed it to avoid shit-stirring. Or perhaps even Westbrook thought better and removed it himself.

I was looking forward to reading the comments but by the time I got back on my phone it was gone.

It was removed very quickly, it seems. I read it as soon as I saw it, went back to oppo homepage, and it was gone.

$5 says Justin has been dragged behind the shed and shot. Jalopnik is a tough place these days.

Nothing too exciting. Tldr: Westbrook made a post on Oppo addressing the reply to his prius article that was shared to Oppo earlier. It had a slightly combative tone to it and I’m not sure why it was it’s own post and not just a reply.

For the sake of a couple of their writers whos work I enjoy, I hope Jalopnik can get things sorted out.

It was kind of childish. I know I would be pretty displeased with him were I his boss. So a reader disagreed, move on.

Given his dick-ish twitter post from a few days back, he’s wanting a fight.

You mean Westbrooks semi-rant (about the use of the word ‘hate’) against DonKeyBals semi-rant against (about his perception that Westbrook was hating on the Prius) Westbrooks article on the Prius?

I don’t know, I was waiting on the next volley to be honest.

Starred for use of hand job as an insult. Haha nice one.

That was more dickish than I was expecting. I was trying to keep it neutral as I don’t want to hop on the Jalopnik-knocking train, but holy crap Westbrook is a knob.

I was about to read the comments but got distracted looking at YouTube and e-mails.

If there was a following volley I would got some popcorn and sat and read through but I guess Westbrook got off his chest what he wanted to and then took down the post so it doesn’t get out of hand and en up being a shitstorm.

He’s still a young guy, I believe he’s 21 or 22? Give him some time and he’ll mature.

He drives an automatic focus. What'd you expect.

I just don’t get why Prius hate is a hill worth dying on. It’s not 2005 anymore. All the rich smug assholes that gave the Prius a bad name have moved onto Teslas. If/when the model3 comes out will be a perfect storm of smug; BMW lease special assholery meets environmental holier-than-thou doucheiness. All thinking their car will drive itself.

Hell on the highways...

He’s just a little out of focus is all.

You're from jersey and use handjob as an insult. I'm from jersey and the only person I've ever heard use that was Ray Catena, so by process of elimination you must be Ray Catena.

How exactly does a 21 year old land an editor job with what seems to be almost nonexistent oversight?

He wrote good stuff when he was on Oppo, someone saw something in him.

Probably too late as it’ll be buried in your notifications but what’s up with the twitter post? Sure some Opponaughts have been trashing the front page but not all of us are. Shoot I even refrained from saying anything directly involving you until I saw that.

It’s not that serious.

I like to imagine I’m whistling when I say Oppo should burn in hell.

I understand people take offense to things, but it was more to poke back at the constant trolling from the Oppositelock1 Twitter account.

Also it always baffles me how people complain about posts like the Drake article when clearly it’s there to bring in traffic and bank off of current events and what’s trending, which is why I heavily mentioned the SNL skit I was playing off of that aired that week.

It’s just developed rather dramatically, but hey, that’s Oppositelock.

Fair enough, I don’t follow twitter so I have no idea about any of whats posted.

Good on you to take the time to explain what’s going on with that.
