So much so, in fact, that I regularly encourage readers to check him out. Really, why don't you head back to antiquated print where your bone china-thin feelings will be a bit safer from the mean ol' internets. Later, grampa.

I'm not sure what precisely offended you about my post. I can only assume it was my reference to Fleet Week. Okay, 'godforsaken' was too harsh, but really, I find it obnoxious that military jets roar over the city all week, chewing up in their engines the very birds I was directing readers to appreciate. I've changed the word to 'noisome.' Best, John Hello SF Native,

I have enjoyed your stories about the people that make up the communities that you write about and their "insiders" p.o.v.s & tips. That brings me to this...you are a bit too sarcastic and smug in your political remarks. I am not going to refer to you or your site for your ill-considered slights of California any longer...a shame since you are both a gifted writer and seem to have a true handle on your subject. Perhaps you should strive to NOT alienate the readers by your "observations" but rather entertain and illuminate them. Good luck! I have enjoyed reading your travel reviews for several months.
