Digger Pulls Plug On Paper Column

I’ve been spending some time thinking about my time as a columnist and the stances I have taken in this space. I’ve probably been a harsher critic of some things than I maybe needed to be and have written some opinions that were maybe unpopular. My last column was recently the source of a customer service complaint to my district franchise manager. My column was only related to my store in that it was about the minimum wage and I certainly didn’t think it was necessarily offensive enough to generate a complaint to the home office. But then again, everyone defines offensive in a different way. I understand and respect that, and it certainly has not been my intention to offend anyone. So what do I do?/ Henry Johnston , Moscow-Pullman Daily News. More here .

DFO: I hate to see this. I appreciated the insight that Digger provided as the manager of a small business. Also, I’m disgusted that a reader would contact his office re: his print opinion. Some people are poisonous and vindictive when they don’t agree w/opinionators.
