The comment that really irks me is the Citigirl reference at the dig on Renner cause he is writing a book. I think it is a cheap shot and really belittles books and writers. I have said my peace on this issue many times and will let it go.I will only say that renner is not in it for the money because he will be lucky to get half back for all the time and effort spent.

Renner has a job to do, up to him how he does it. I don't think it's hurting anything in the grand scheme. John Green is a bit arrogant but it's just his personality, so be it. Needs to learn to own his mistakes with some grace though. No matter where the correction comes from. He has taken more random shots at Topix in his blog posts in the past week than I have ever seen on this site towards Renners blog total. Making mistakes is normal and when you are putting yourself in the public view, expect the public to call you on it when you slip. Nature of the beast. Accept it and move on. Emotional responses are not conducive to critical thinking. Hope you read this JG, it is meant as constructive criticism.

i note the frequency of mention of "i had heard" and "we are told".
remember, more often than not the info is tainted and the sources are not credible. it is likely gossip.

The Cheap Shot is "My Search for Maura Murray".
Maura Murray wasn't missing until 7PM 2/9/2004.
The cheap shots are the majority of his "findings" are years prior. I am surprised that he has not, as yet, delved into her toilet training years.
When, and if, he or anyone starts to really try to "Find Maura" it will be "about time".

You are more on top of this email thing than I am. I read it and my gut reaction was it is just some angry, vulgar-languaged person who reads Renner's blog. And that's where I stopped. Renner forwarded it to CCU so I'm hoping they have better resources than we all do to either toss it as a hoax or follow up if it is related to her disappearance.

I prefer John Green the poster ( not Blogger) and James Renner the guy that brings
new info to the table. I appreciate both for what they bring to the table but it should remain Renners blog.
John Green should have his own Blog and that would be a good path to take.

The thing is, all or some of the dirt might really mean something. None of us, unless we were witnesses to what actually happened, can say what led to what. For example, the fact that Kathleen was arrested for growing pot 7 years after MM disappeared could be tied to the cause of MM's disappearance. It's how you investigate...find the connections. The main fact is, we don't know what is relevant until we know the truth. It's all fair game until then.

I agree about his own blog. I suggested it as soon as I read that JG was joining the team. Again, it's James' job, he knows how he wants it to go, I trust it meets his purpose.

Don't know about the "arrogant", just hasn't struck me that way, but I agree about the mistakes. They aren't the end of the world, but there is enough confusion in this case already as to dates, times, who said what and so forth...that I think it's just critical to be as accurate as possible. Who a source is matters. Times matter. I don't care whether he admits to a mistake, as we all make them, but to not correct a mistake when it's pointed out isn't too cool.
