The Sacramento Press, an on-line news source that I've been writing for for some time now, and more specifically Ben Ilfeld, the "Operations Manager" [ben@sacramentopress.com], has decided, for whatever reason, to remove articles written by persons who have been avid contributors to the Sac Press for some time. Particularly mine.
With this action, he and the editorial board has made an outsider of at least myself, and hopefully others who feel that our contributions to his press site, no matter how trivial and non-local-newsworthy they may be in his eyes, were our contributions to the advancement of what I thought was a good idea: internet news for Sacramento.
How does a story about a scam perpetrated through e-mails and aimed at certainly more than just myself here in the Sacramento area not qualify as local news? Does the fact that it didn't happen to old Ben mean that it isn't newsworthy for Sacramento?
Nonetheless, I have no desire to write articles for the Sacramento Press any longer. I feel betrayed and "kicked-to-the-curb" by Ben Ilfeld and I won't hang around where I'm obviously not wanted.
It's been real, it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun thanks to you Ben.
Goodbye.
