It seemed to me that as soon as the blogger started his dispute the couple were out to vilify him. The beginning was hard to make out over the woman speaking loudly but it seemed like they were very adamant about finding out where the blogger lived in order to deem him as an "outsider." It looked like they wanted to use the small town press vs. city slicker nobody from the internet angle on this.

Based on how the editor(?) treated the blogger he really did not respect him at all based on this guy not being a print journalist and for the editor being "forty years older" than the blogger.

This must be a very small press, I don't know how else you would be able to speak to the guy in charge right at the front desk. It is really sad that while this editor considers his traditional methods more valid than those of anyone "from the internet" yet he cannot even adhere to standard practices of attribution.
