blogs

Steven,
Tomdispatch is Tom Engelhardt's blog for The Nation.
This is James Wolcott's blog for Vanity Fair.
This is Harry Shearer's blog for the Huffington Post.
Ramblin' Man is Jim Jaillet's blog for the Seattle PI.
I could go on and on. There are literally thousands of bloggers doing blogs for newspapers. These thousands of blogs are not there for other editors to fuck with. They are there for the blogger to blog and their readers to read. Why is it so hard for you to wrap your head around the concept of the Daily Freep being my blog for the Los Angeles Free Press? The Nation doesn't fuck with Tom Engelhardt, Vanity Fair doesn't fuck with James Wolcott. and Arianna Huffington certainly doesn't fuck with Harry Shearer. Every single one of them would quit if an editor did to their work what you have been doing to mine. They only do it because they are given artistic freedom. My blog is a SEPARATE THING from what you are doing and people like reading it. You could have dozens of blogs on your site if you had the technical skill and the ability to just leave people alone. Your compulsion to fuck with the Daily Freep instead of just presenting it is ENTIRELY ego. My doing what I do doesn't stop you from doing what you do. You just like bossing people around.
