Just One of the Dogs
A LABOR STRIKE IS SERIOUS STUFF. Lives are altered and jobs could hang in the balance. This story has been relegated to the back pages but it lingers distinctly in the hearts of the strikers and all others associated with SIK.
The experience of being in the midst of the tempest has been one of awe. The awe of finding out what little I actually know of the complicated bonds of: worker and employer, worker and bigger employer, salary worker and hourly worker and worker and family.
It is because of these close bonds that I can no longer be the enabler for those commenters that have used this blog as a sideshow and joke pit.
Censorship with regard to tone an language are the general disclaimers at the intro to the blog. It is not enough.
Sure the numbers will come down and for all I know the Post may pull the plug on the whole stinkin' mess but it is the only way. There will be no published comments section.
The whole experience has enlightened me to the breadth and exposure to and, in part, of being in the media. The power of the pen does not come without strings attached. Making people happy is not one of them as a blogger/columnist.
For every meritorious and lucid observation there were a hundred rumors, catcalls, denunciations and off the subject narrations. Propaganda and psy-ops were all too common.
My thanks go out to everyone that has taken the time to speak with me while Walking the Line. Special thanks to those that offered constructive criticism in the comment section, it has only helped me to learn more about the original focus of this blog, to be a quasi-reporter/columnist.
I shall persevere.
This is not the highest level of reporting (investigative) for the simple undeniable fact that I am a striker. My "story" is about the here and now. All the things I have written about the past are all facts. Surely, to protect a level of privacy almost all names were pseudonyms while my name remains exposed. Maybe it will turn out to be a huge mistake and I will have burnt both (hourly and salary) bridges in the meantime...it cannot be changed.
The segue from writing development to journalist came about on its own and it took a real life reporter to bring it to my attention. He told me that what I was doing is called Advocate Journalism; which means that you are stirring the pot (of thoughts and status quo). He called me "one of the dogs." I think it was a metaphor for nipping at the heels of powerful people/things. This is a serious job whose description does not include letting inmates run the asylum.
As much as I have been led to believe that some people have found solace in this blog for venting purposes it has been ruined by the masses.
Hence, to reiterate, the comment section is closed.
