To whom it may concern - By N.L. Belardes

People keep asking me, “Why did you pull your articles on the Random Times?’

I skirt the issue. I dance around it. Why not be playful? Anyone reading the articles could pull a dozen reasons out the smoggy Bakersfield air as to why I pulled those blogs down.

They really weren’t any more controversial than other news I write. It was the news about an aggressive new newspaper.

So should I suppress news? No, especially when a local newspaper allows a writer from the defunct Elitist Press to publish an article, knowing full well he/she is likely the cause of myspace.com hate sites about me. And yes, the online threats and hate sites are still popping up.

So why, when I’m just reporting the news did I take my articles down?

I guess you’ll have to truly answer that question for yourself.

Maybe it's just an integrity thing.

Bloghawk Down.

Oh, and please leave a comment on the Drugs Are Nice Book review.
