"One less Asian and his ugly half-breeds we have to worry about infesting our country."
Please don't make such an ignorant and moronic comment then lump the rest of us in by saying "our" country. - scott1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+108Coddoc got himself banned

One less ***hole and idotic uglyness we have to worry about infesting this website and country. - eatasandwich, on 10/12/2007, -3/+94I live in Portland, OR and traveled down from Seattle on Monday. The weather was bad enough then and road conditions have been treacherous ever since. The roads were REALLY icey. The sensible people didn't go to work on Tuesday. Traffic on I5 was moving at 18mph for hours near Seattle.
I hope he's okay. It is quite likely he's waiting out the weather in a hotel somewhere. - Ivers, on 10/12/2007, -9/+86coddoc... shut up. *****.
- kevinrose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+77My hopes and prayers are with James and his family. I worked with James for 3yrs at TechTV - one of the coolest, nicest guys you'll ever meet. I look forward to his safe return.
- pushmouse, on 10/12/2007, -6/+73Can we all mass-block coddoc? Ban his ass.
- jvcrabb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+67Leo has made a post on twit.tv with a contact number if you have any information on the Kims: http://www.twit.tv/2006/11/30/missing_techtv_family_member
- KingAR_II, on 10/12/2007, -5/+61@coddoc... I understand you have the right to free speech, but if it were up to me a comment like that would get you banned from digg - grow up!!
... I wish all the best for the Kim family. - ryogahibiki, on 10/12/2007, -7/+63Someone please beat up coddoc for me...thanks so much.
- earlysound, on 10/12/2007, -0/+53Hey everyone -
Thanks for reading and digging this. The CNET community, as well as the tech community at large, are all hoping this gets as much attention as possible in the chance that someone will know something, or has seen something that can help.
This is all very surreal and frightening. We all want the Kim family to come home safely. Thanks for your support.

What?! You sir, are a moron.
Back on topic. I've watched a lot of his segments and read his articles on cnet. I hope they turn up. - dhughes, on 10/12/2007, -6/+59 @coddoc
coddoc is the only person that I have blocked on digg. - imlesterbob, on 10/12/2007, -3/+52ya....he used to be on the tech tv labs
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+59I hope they're alright. Stupid bitches on Engadget were already making bad jokes about them. I suspect Digg users to follow suit. If anyone does, I will personally strangle them with their own intestines.
- shyboyswin, on 10/12/2007, -9/+51@coddoc
I hate you. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+57Digg the reply above me DOWN. This is nothing to joke about! James Kim is an asset to the tech community..
- dehlz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44Kind of bizarre, I just visited engadget for the first time in years and saw this on the front page.
You don't usually hear about whole families go missing at once, unless something really really bad happened to them.
Hope they're ok. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+39anyone who thinks a CNET employee is "stuck in a hotel room" without any communication is foolish.
i'm sure this guy has five cell phones, a broadband card, and any other communications device that exists.
unless he decided to take his family on a trip away from city life, and wants to avoid communication from the outside world, then i'm guessing something has gone seriously wrong. - primehifi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42:*(
Due back Sunday? Wow.
I hope they are all OK. - FBMGriever, on 10/12/2007, -1/+38James Kim is a great guy. I sincerely hope he and his family are okay.
- gypsi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34Ad-free, pertinent details:
We've received word that a respected member of our tech community, James Kim (whom many of you may know as CNET's senior editor of digital audio), and his family have gone missing. As we understand it, last weekend James, his wife Kati (above right), and his very young girls Penelope (left) and Sabine (baby), drove from their home in the SF Bay Area to Seattle. They were expected back some time Sunday, but were last heard from Saturday in or between Gold Beach or Portland, Oregon. We sincerely do hope they are all safe, and our hearts go out to the Kim family.
We'll have more information as we get it. If you have any information as to the Kim family's whereabouts, please contact the SFPD at 415-558-5508 during normal business hours, and 415-553-1071 after hours. - charlescheese, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34Coddoc, you need to grow up a lot. I would say the same about you, but I don't wish you any harm. What's wrong with this world is too many people like you hating other people, whether they be Asians, Republicans, Democrats, Muslims, etc... We all need to stop worrying so much about other people and concentrate on making ourselves better.
Back on topic, this is terrible news. I'm hoping and praying he's okay. I loved him on TechTV. - wilf_brim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28He did. I think that was Tom trying to be funny, I don't think James was officially missing until today.
- mirunit, on 10/12/2007, -14/+40"eat c**k you f***ing xenophobic moron. Wait, maybe THAT'S the reason you are a Nazi bastard... to much sp**k in your mouth.. you c**k sucking Nazi sh*t eater."
You are just as bad as the person you are responding to, screw you as well.
In response to the story, I sincerely hope this guy and his family are okay. - RobototoboR, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26That's so sad, the little girl is so cute. I hope they turn out okay.
This is kind of related. A member of a forum I go to (Entensity.net forums) went missing a week ago in Chicago while on a trip for school. Please check out these links if you are in the Chicago area just to see if you have seen him around:

Thanks. - pennyfan87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Tom posted in the CNET forums:
http://forums.cnet.com/5208-10152_102-0.html?forumID=97&threadID=220982&messageID=2335211 - spyder91, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22The reason this scares me the most is because of the amount of ways we have to contact people now a days. It states they're never without their phones/PDAs which means they have no power or devices for some reason and there's the really bad winter storm coming across the country... To be honest it truly scares me for someone to just disappear now a days, let a lone a whole family. I hope they're safe. :-
- greekgoat91, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25this isn't anything to joke about
- lmcintyre, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Scary stuff. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
- sinfony, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19If you care so little, why are you taking the time to comment on a story about him?
- anesh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Remember watching him on TechTV, pretty weird stuff, hopefully everything is all right.
- angelp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19I was listening to a Buzz Out Loud podcast (Cnet podcast) and could have sworn Tom Merritt introduced himself as James Kim. Weird.
- berserker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20This needs to get out, help out a fellow geek. Digg+
- amowls, on 10/12/2007, -11/+29@coddoc
Ugly half breeds don't care what inbred idiots like you think. - Macc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19What the hell is wrong with you people? It doesn't matter if you like his reviews of mp3 players, thats completely insignificant when a man and his whole family are missing. Grow up and have some compassion.
- lazydrumhead, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21@d3vious...
good point, but he's a person, too. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Lets just come together as Diggers and use all our vast resources and talents to find them. Come on people, who is in the area, post flyers, do what it takes but lets show the world that we just don't sit on our collective asses and whine, snipe or just posture. We can do this and make a difference.
- artanis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15They were travelling in the same vehicle.
- dkm201, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17If you look at coddoc's other comment's they're all trolling too, no matter the topic. He's obviously just trying to get a rise...

@Coddoc
You make this country look bad. - neoian, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18tech tv FTW!
And I hope he and his family turn up soon - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19*intestines*
*strangle* - ngageguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I live on the southern oregon coast and have given this story to the local TV station along with the report from the SF police department to hopefully get on the air and get the word out. If there are any updates, please post to DIGG or Twit so I can follow up with the TV station
- TheTrueAPlus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17My prayers go out. It would be a sad day for all techs if the worse happens.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I believe they were all driving home together.
- uncleboogie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16People who make bad jokes when they are still missing don't have any intestines or guts to strangle them with. Hope the whole family is safe.
- cleverboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14next time someone says something untoward, PLEASE don't "quote" thre bastard. let him get banned and have his comment dissappear. I hope James and his family is ok.
- itsmattadams, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Lets hope nothing bad has happened to them!
- chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18I'm not a religious man, but I think we should all pray for the safety of James Kim and his family.
