Well, he did it. He quit. All because of one fake photo. He's got his share of supporters. Just see here and here. Also, check out his comments although for the record, negative comments are not allowed.
I say good riddance. If the poor chap, who constangly pings petaling street and has a zillion links hoping to boost his hits, cant take the heat then he should quit. What really kills me are the supporters who blame the public. What? The public is not allowed to voice its opinion? Isn't that what bloggings all about? Freedom of expression?
Sadly this event reflects society in large in Msia. Awfully happy when everything is great but the first one to throw in the towel when things get tough. This blogger seem to be loving it and reveling in his popularity but once things turn south, he runs. Typical.
To quote from one of my favorite commenters (Nightcaller), TILL THEN GOODNITE DEAR HUSTLER WHEREVER U ARE!
Hey nice blog. Bookmarking you mate.

I agree with you on your points. Yes, I speak up for Hustler and as you can see, there are lots of supporters too. And still I agree with what you said. I am beginning to see the picture now. I have been rather vocal on my faith journey, from one faith to another. Most of what I blogged are my personal experiences, how I jump ship etc. And I got a lot of heat from there. At times, I can't take it. I guess I must turn to the big boss up there for my wisdom and enlightment. Because sometimes, I admit I am like the story of the donkey, man and son.
The man is the Pak Pandir kinda of person. I am too, I admit. Thanks for the views!

Lil....
We are all like that at any given time. For the record, I support Hustler Diaries if not for anything that it was free speech at its finest.
Great blog you have. Keep it up.

Seems like you have something against the guy - way I see it. I think being a religious person, one should be more forgiving. And besides even you are not perfect - so do not judge lest you be judged too in return, my friend.

Zam,
Nothing could be farther from the truth. Im only criticizing the reason for his departure from the blog scene.

i thot i was the only one who thot he was a traffic whore... looks like somebody else out the can see the populist poser for who he is...
apparently, somebody else has now decided to feed off the hustler's 'popularity' to get cheap hits for himself... pretty obvious on PSS... let's not name names here, shall we?...*cough* *cough*kennys*cough....

Who knows why he really left, probably just another publicity stunt, his hit whoring has become hugely overbearing in the last few months, before he was 'famous' he had a different and refreshing blog.
After that it went to do the dogs when he starting trying to blog to impress and get more traffic and more popularity, always a sure fire way to self-destruction, I see it happened to others aswell :)

road warrior,
you have missed the point. did i criticize him for being a traffic whore? no. my point is that if you want a lot of hits, be prepared to take some negative criticism. it's obvious he couldnt take the heat. instead of answering his critics, he quit.
i dont have 1 tenth the talent he does (nor do i want it) but ppl are free to post any comment they like here and if i have an answer i answer. if not, then i learn something from the exchange of ideas.
