I don't know what is more disappointing, the idea that this over-generalized and ignorant opinion was written and published because it's something Mr. Ball and your publication actually believes, or that you were willing to publish such a vitriolic piece, which complains without offering any solutions, without any sense of responsibility for its message purely because you knew it was divisive enough to garner that highly coveted ad view revenue with the traffic such flames generate. Either way it's disappointing, though AdBlock ensures you're not making a dime off the time I wasted reading it. While I never had a strong opinion on the integrity of your publication to begin with (I find that online you mostly just link off to other people's news stories, which doesn't really make for strong journalism), you certainly haven't improved your position with at least one Baton Rouge resident who spends enough time in New Orleans and with its people to know that Mr. Ball's opinion, while he is certainly entitled to it, is wrong and useless.
