A blog that disparages expats

[doncoulter]

This morning I attempted to post on Doug Bower's blog. Like David Rogers, I think the most appropriate place to comment on it would be on the blog itself, not here on gtolist.com. As I mentioned in my earlier post here, it appeared that Doug had finally opened his blog to comments, and I looked forward to a lively discussion.

Now, however, I find that Doug's blog remains as hermetically sealed as ever. At least that's what I think he says in his latest blog entry. Like most of what he writes, his entry is less than crystal clear.

Here is what I tried to post on Doug's blog:

Your attack on David Rogers is completely unwarranted. In the first place, your implication that he is a "gringolandian" is way off-base. A few facts about David: He is from Australia, and therefore not a "Gringo" by the most common Mexican definition. He does not live in what you have called a "Gringo enclave" but instead lives in a neighborhood of mostly Mexicans. He takes Spanish lessons several days a week. He belongs to community organizations. He regularly participates in local culture. He has Mexican friends. What is "gringolandian" about this?

And what on earth does David's request that you open your blog to comments have to do with "death threats," liberalism, or, for heaven's sake, Sarah Palin?

Kindly note that my comment meets your criteria of being free of "threats or profanity and general vileness." I will nonetheless be stunned if you allow it to appear on your blog.
