If you are a fan of internet wars, more specifically the kind between two websites (and people), you have to check out the one that is going on between Nyjer Please and Metsblog. In a matter of one hour, a man by the name of Luke Halpert (of Nyjer Please) wrote an article on the racial divide that exists in the New York Mets locker room. Metsblog fired back by saying that a racial schism is non-existent and if there were such a thing, all major media outlets would be on top of the story. Halpert, in his article, insisted that a secret source that he met through Metsblog told him what is happening in the club house. And boom, Halpert's article was created. Metsblog within ten minutes made a post urging Halpert to delete the part of the article that mentions them because they felt no such source was giving him the info. After a little while, Metsblog was removed. The whole controversy hits home to me because I know Halpert fairly well and it doesn't totally shock me that he posted this type of article on Nyjer Please.
Unless the blog posts got deleted, you can view the controversy here:
