Violet Blue has no idea why BoingBoing would delete her

latimesblogs.latimes.com — Last week Boing Boing did the unthinkable, they scrubbed every post having anything to do with SF sex writer Violet Blue. They did it with no mention on their blog. In an interview with the LA Times today, Blue says she has no clue why BB would do this. Her editor at the SF Chron says this type of action is "against the blog world" and "a no-no".

  • kyledeb, on 07/01/2008, -0/+6This is really strange. I hope Boing Boing explains it because it certainly makes me think twice about the blog and I'm an avid reader.

    Boing Boing responds by saying absolutely nothing.

  • SRSco, on 07/02/2008, -1/+4***** boingboing. If there is anybody on earth more annoying that Violet Blue it's Xeni Jardin.

    But this bitch whining about made up ***** here (http://digg.com/apple/Steve_Jobs_tells_off_fan_cal ... and every stupid ass Digger defending her because she has a minge is reason enough to hate her too (Violet Blue that is).

    I'm fed up with these stupid tech blogger ladies with ***** names who think they are all edgy and cool because they are aware of a stupid ass meme.
