Mr. North "surrendering"?

He seems to surrender:
It is better to get a confession out of the way first. Today I came as close to resigning from the blog and all that surrounds it as I have ever done and ever hope to do. Why so, I hear some of our readers ask, are you not winning against the MSM?

But what interestes me most is not this but this:
Before all our readers say “well, duh”, I shall elucidate. The point was very clear. The fact that a writer was a dissident and, therefore, not published did not mean he (or she) was a good writer. In fact, he (or she) might be just as bad or even worse than the ones who were accepted and published in “Novy Mir” or “Literaturnaya Gazeta”.

You nearly took the words of my mouth! Correct Mr. North. And being dissident didn't mean that someone was completely healthy of mind (As Miss Novodvorskaya) or avoided being a crook with political ambitions (like Mr. Limonov). And you going away doesn't mean that the story ends here. You also made your own staging and you guilty of it Mr. North. And specially you are very guilty because you didn't stop at the facts and run for sensationalism. Using a child's tragedy. You are no better than the media or the "death marketeers" in place.

So this blog will continue until Mr. North's debunkery is completely debunked.
