Mr. U. Know-Who's Vendetta Against the Daily Pilot

Human nature is interesting, don't you think?

HARD HEART
For example, there's a guy here in town - he calls himself Mr. U. Know-Who - who writes a Costa Mesa-centric blog who has a very hard place in his heart for the Daily Pilot, our newspaper of record for the Newport-Mesa area.
THE ODD C

This guy is a prolific writer, but his pontifications were absent from the pages of the Daily Pilot for a long, long time. There was a time, shortly after I first began writing to the Pilot on local issues many years ago, that the editors would amuse themselves by pairing us up as their version of The Odd Couple - placing his commentaries side-by-side with mine. That was in the days before the Daily Pilot blog, but I have no doubt that juxtapositioning would have evoked many comments from readers. Then, a couple months ago, his views began appearing once again - perhaps due to a change in management at the Pilot. Lately, though, we've not seen his words published on those pages - and have not missed them at all.
U. KNOW-WHO THROWS A FIT
I think I understand the problem. I think - my opinion, mind you - that this guy is peeved a

CHEERING THE EXECUTIONER
It the past couple days he's published a couple blog entries, which can be read HERE and HERE, cheering on the new owner, Sam Zell, as he goes about de-constructing the beleaguered Tribune Companies and it's component parts.
BULLYING STYLE

Actually, Mr. Who's reaction doesn't surprise me at all. It's typical of his bullying style. On his blog, and in the vile internet essays he publishes at places like former KKK leader David Duke's web site, he bemoans the demise of the white race and lashes out at anyone who criticizes him. He's the same way in his dealings here in Costa Mesa - berating everyone who doesn't toe his line, including council members and commissioners that he has supported in the past.
CHUCKLES

I can't help but chuckle as he rants and raves, particularly against the Daily Pilot. That organization is doing things right - and it stands out in the crowd among the various Tribune properties as such.

A SAD GUY
What I find curious is that Mr. Who has attempted for more than a decade to re-create Costa Mesa in the image he prefers - pure white. Of course, we all know that's not going to happen, so I wonder why he just doesn't seek happiness among folks with a common complexion someplace like Sweden or Norway. Heck, parts of Idaho might even suit him. I doubt moving is in the cards for him because is seems he's only happy when he's causing discontent in this community. What a sad, sad man.
