St. Maarten Private Eye

This whole blog is a joke. Why is this even a topic. As I read in your posts Flipper, I know you don't want to "censor" anyone. I also read your post (and i'm paraphrasing) regarding the type of news here; i.e. the bad news on the island. I think you're on the wrong foot. I know this is supposed to be USER generated, but if you let posts like this "Hey mr. Petty, i looked you up" appear regularly by your "contributors", and it becomes the status quo. Then this site is going to quickly dissapear from my favorites list and I can guarantee you I won't be the only one. DIck Cheney can ask the media to report about the war in one way....but that doesn't apply here...we are not at war and there ARE wonderful things happening all over this island that make the bad things PALE in comparison, but that doesn't sell newpapers or get you more hits.... name bashing, etc. unfortunately does. I hope in the coming weeks/months that this website manages to grasp a handle on its goals, because I see a sharp decline in both the quality of posts and quality of topics here, and as the previous poster wrote....i don't see the usual excitement here either.

Good luck
