Thanks for having me

Posted by Maia | April 10th, 2006

This is my last post on Alas. I’ve had a great month guest posting. Although the last week has been quite strange both for me and for Alas (you got to meet New Zealand MRA, who are just like MRA everywhere else, but they’re more likely to call their head of state a bitch).

Due to the Louise Nicholas case Alas got discussed on Checkpoint, which is the evening news show of New Zealand’s public broadcaster (think NPR or BBC). You can listen to it here. I may post an update sometime, depending on what happens next. But otherwise this is it from me.

I’ll still be posting at my blog. Tomorrow I plan to write about something other than police rapists. Thanks for reading and come and say hello sometime.

    Thanks for your posts here, Maia. I had been watching the case closely but if it weren’t for your guest stint I would have missed a lot of the discussion (as I hadn’t seen your personal blog previously).

    I had been wondering if Alas was the focus of scrutiny from New Zealand so your posting that interview has cleared that up for me. I had assumed it was the website being discussed but it just seemed so bizarre that out of millions of websites it was one I already frequented that become a focal point for a local case.

    Sorry to see you leave Alas. I’ll keep reading your homepage, though. Thanks, and best wishes.

    Let me join the chorus thanking you for your guest-posting here, Maia - obviously, I love your work, or I wouldn’t have asked you. But I’m honored you said “yes.” I hope this last month helped introduce a lot of people to your blog.
