The email, below, is the last communication I have received to date from James E Prince III concerning his demands that I remove comments posted here by one of my readers. The back story is in the post immediately preceding this one.

Update on James Prince’s Legal Threats Against Me

Early last month I posted an exchange of emails between myself and James E. Prince III, editor and publisher of the Neshoba Democrat and co-chair of the Philadelphia Coalition.
Last February, a person who identifies herself as Suzy Sharino, and who claims to be a former reporter for Prince, left a comment on HungryBlues, which enraged […]

I wish I had more time to write these days. Or maybe it’s not so much a matter of time as it is a matter of psychic space and mental energy.

The Atrios and Luskin Story

Bloggers and blog readers who have been around a few years will get the allusion I made in my previous post.
For those unfamiliar, here’s the short version.

Shades of Atrios and Luskin

James E. Prince III, Editor and Publisher of the Mississippi newspaper and online news source, the Neshoba Democrat, wrote an email message to me last night, at 11:19 p.m., which referenced this HungryBlues entry, which I posted last July, and said:
Mr. Greenberg:
The post by Jonathan David Jackson is false and defamatory and I ask that […]

You may have noticed that I’ve been posting photos to HungryBlues via flickr.
You’ll see now that I finally got around to adding that cool flickr flash thingy in the sidebar.
Last week, […]

My New Job And Other Recent Developments

After a long job search, I finally accepted a job offer on Wednesday.

On March 6, I will start working as Web Community Coordinator for Physicians for Human Rights. After over a year of job hunting, it is great to finally have a full-time job, and it is a dream come true to have an internet […]

It’s All Back

Typepad, the hosting service for this blog, was having some problems after some routine maintenance last night. As a result the last few days of my posts disappeared for most of the day today. Sorry for the confusion if you followed a link over here and did not find what you were looking for. Everything […]

Heartbreak

My writing for this blog has been lighter for a little while now. That’s not the reason for my title, but in case you were wondering, these are some of the things I’ve been doing instead of writing lengthy posts:

three weeks of work on that article in In These Times
a follow up piece, currently in […]

I’m Back

Been working on something I hope I’ll get to tell you all about soon. It’s done now, so back to blogging.

Let’s see how much of the backlog I can get to…

Not A Lot Of Time For Blogging

I probably won’t be blogging much until Yom Kippur is over on Thursday night. I am, however, taking a moment to post an important article by Bill Quigley, on the state of things in New Orleans—so far only circulating via email on Jordan Flaherty’s list-serve. Flaherty is a New Orleans union organizer, writer and editor. […]

Oh, Nate. You Shouldn’t Have . . .

Nate Hertel, you really shouldn’t have commented with such hackneyed right wing arguments that are so easily proven false.

And if you are so bent on starting this kind of argument, people in glass houses really should not throw stones:

Liberals are a despciable species of parasite with no concern for integrity or principles, and have demonstrated […]

Abandoned And Some Other Stuff New To The Sidebar

ABANDONED
Fifty miles southwest of New Orleans, the Houma Navigation Canal is a 36 mile man-made linear gash running from the Gulf of Mexico to the small city of Houma in Terrebonne Parish. The canal bypasses several small fishing villages perched like wading birds with one leg on the two lane blacktop of State Road 57 […]

To My Commenters And RSS Readers

Last night I added katrina and nola categories and retagged all the relevant posts appropriately. Sorry if that wreaked havoc on your rss readers…

There are several comments that I should have responded to already. I hope to catch up soon, probably in the form of some posts since the comments I have in mind are […]
