[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have only read Popville the last few years.

I will note

A. It is now called Popville, not Prince of Petworth as it is about all of DC, not just Petworth, and the word "prince" is no longer in the title.

B. It not only covers gentrifying EOTP neighborhoods, but covers restaurants, RE, pretty pictures, etc from WOTP neighborhood.  He may once have been the face of EOTP gentrification, and he still covers it extensively, but that is not all he covers. [/quote]

Then he should have re-named it DoCville, if the site's its purpose is as you contend.  Would have made more sense.  As a community blog, he might also have considered allowing all of the community to comment in it, instead of policing it like a mod from the schutzstaffel.[/quote]

The name popville connected to the old name (marketing, you know) but also removed Petworth from the name.  And it is his blog, and he is free to moderate it as he sees fit.  If you do not like the moderation policy, there is no shortage of alternate blogs.   Unlike many other businesses, the barriers to entry in blogging are pretty low.

However it remains popular. WHich suggests either the moderation policy doesn't really matter to most, or that the benefits of being troll free exceed the costs of the occasional arbitrary deletion. [/quote]
