[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'll all missing my point.  [b]As I said, you can disagree with my view that he might as well have moved to N. Arlington/Bethesda[/b].  But to delete the post?  Really?  Lame as fuck.[/quote]

Right, and that's what we are doing, disagreeing with your view.  Are we not allowed to do that?

I don't care what he chooses to delete from his own website.  I do care when people spread biased and inaccurate views about my neighborhood just to prove your own hipness.[/quote]

I totally care that he deletes posts that merely disagree with his opinion. For the casual reader, it gives a completely skewed sense of "the community"'s feelings and point of view.

He tries to pretend he's a "journalist," but he relies a whole hell of a lot on just posting press releases--and skewing the comments to be in line with his point of view is selling false pretenses.

I wish more people would see behind the curtain on him. But I am guessing that, despite his efforts, his move to the Van Ness area--one of the most soulless parts of the city, even for upper NW--is the beginning of the end of PoPville, even if it takes a while. (Two little kids will eventually get in the way, too.)

Journalist is a funny term for PoP. He's more of an aggregator of a LOT of information. When he writes something where an actual opinion is formed, it's usually poorly written and poorly argued. The value in his blog is really in how prolific he is - he publishes a TON of information. [b]The majority of the actual blog's value is in the comments section - which are an awesome nightmare. [/b]The race baiting on the blog is out of control though - it's almost as if he wants to incite gentrification and race arguments with 1/3 of his posts.[/quote]

This might be the definition of irony - someone posting a comment on DCUM that the comment section of another website is an awesome nightmare.  [/quote]
