I have read a few of Nicks articles, at least stephen glass wrote well. Good Riddance to him, his opinion is shit. Fuck you Nicky! Karma......

Hes already got his fuckin MBA you dumbass. Anyone that compares him to Stephen Glass is legally retarded. Glass fabricated hard news stories for the Republic - Nick invented an instance, in an OBVIOUSLY satirical piece, and got fucked because some Harvard jock strap needs publicity.

Hopefully, his trust fund will keep him warm.

He is through! What a shock though that a smug anti-humor humorist in the Joel Stein vein turns out to be lazy as well -- and how did he get an editorship at the Voice? Undeserved -- and he'll never again have one, thankfully. Maybe he'll just go get his MBA and be done with this "journalist" kick. -Z

What a poseur! Andy Kaufman did that first with the Great Gatsby.

So is this to say, maybe he enjoyed Jet's "Get Born"? http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/j/jet/get-born.shtml What a liar!

If Sylvester isn't fired from the Voice, I'll never read that paper again, not that I read it that often now. I'm sick of scumbags like Jayson Blair, Michael Finkel, Stephen Glass and Janet Cooke giving readers a reason to doubt the veracity of the hard work so many of us put into our stories. Sylvester has joined the list of people who have degraded the profession.

I think that in this case "forced to quit" means "fired."

Why is the VV shuffling its feet about showing this guy the door? Kick him to the curb.
