Ivan Maisel's son missing

Family of missing RIT student Max Maisel seeks help

Sad situation. They found his car near a pier leading into Lake Ontario, which had been a family vacation spot over the years.

I think everyone who knows Ivan or has even interacted with him just briefly would agree that he's probably the nicest, friendliest guy in the business.

Easily one of the nicest guys out there, without question. Haven't interacted with him in ages and never was around him much. But he'd always come up, say hello, ask about life (and remember little details of long-ago conversations). But even if he was a massive prick, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I can't imagine.

 

[RecoveringJournalist]

Yeah, Maisel is pure class. You'd have a hard time finding too many people who didn't truly like and respect the guy.

I get chills when I read stuff like this... Scary, scary stuff... His family is in our thoughts and prayers.

 

[Ace]

Briefly worked with Ivan. Prayers for a safe return.

Every parent's worst nightmare. Looking up more of the story, I came across his roommate on local radio talking about this in a really weird interview:

For someone as worried as this guy says he is, his segue at the end into how he was at one of the radio station's parties and remembered how the host "can move" seemed kind of odd to say the least.

No doubt about it. Hoping for the best.

This is gut wrenching.

As usual, Peter King nails it.

@SI_PeterKing: I once lost my daughter in a NJ mall for 3 minutes. Worst 3 minutes of my life. I so feel for the @Ivan_Maisel family. #FindMax

Speechless.

Ugh.

 

[Boom_70]

Speechless.

I remember how upset Peter was when his daughter went to get yogurt
pretzels at Southbend Airport.

She didn't bring one back for him?

I want to throw up.

 

[EddieM]

I want to throw up.

"Thought he would cry."

But yes, King has a way of undercutting the gravity of a moment.

I just think that Peter King is a wretched human being.

 

[AD]

And I know that you are dead wrong.

 

[Vombatus]

Inappropriate use of "dead" at the moment.

Peter King's twitter account is kind of a fascinating thing to me, and not particularly because of what he tweets. The reactions to him are so angry and strange and chicken****. It really brings out the worst in absolutely everyone.

I mean, I know what he meant by posting that tweet. You know what he meant by posting that tweet. It's a perfectly innocuous statement of how horrible this must be for the Maisel family, because he knows how terrifying it was to go through something that absolutely pales next to it.

Still, the second I saw that tweet I knew there was going to be an avalanche of hatred from people who are absolutely gleeful that he would give them something they could pretend was offensive.

"Pretend was offensive" appears to be the key phrase there.

Not a PK fan myself, but c'mon ... People on this and every other board chime in with the same stuff all the time.

Well said. It's like there is an army of Twitter users ready to pounce on him.
