Casey's Gone

It seems that his firing is for real. This may be the first time in history that Casey has managed to actually throw himself under the bus, though clearly there has been collateral damage to his various associates.

Information we have received suggest that the idea to engage the Haterz™ was entirely his, and was done before he received any permission or even discussed it with his boss. She was dragged in to his world with no prior understanding of what was about to happen, no opportunity to evaluate whether it was a good idea, or even the chance to research what had happened to everybody else who had become a known associate of Casey's, as has been thoroughly documented on Caseypedia™.

As has been noted by others, Casey started two personal blogs last month: BloggerCasey which was all about him, and his boss's blog, which in the end also turned out to be all about him. He sold her a bill of goods and she's paying for it.

As Nigel noted the other day on CHC: "Casey's problem is he blogged about it. He reached out to key people like WWTF and others to make sure everybody knew he was coming back. He went on the talkcast and brought Angel with him. He created BloggerCasey and opened comments. Haterz didn't do any of this. This was all his doing."

Casey is poison because he can't turn off the "I/ME" switch in his head that makes him convinced that every project he's involved in has to involve him as the frontman. As a result, he ends up sabotaging everything he touches.

Our advice to him: Recognize that 99.9% of what you do in the world is not about you. It's about getting stuff done for somebody else. Keep your own name out of it. For everybody else's sake, if not your own.

And that's the view from FalseCasey HQ, where the sun finally came out this afternoon.
