On live chat today one of my readers asked a simple question as to why Hoboken 411's commenting is down. Here is Perry Klaussen-fuhrer's response. It seems that my post earlier in the day might have struck some kind of nerve.
Perry Klaussen is losing it and losing it fast. Comments are in fact an indicator of the depth of a site. Search engine hits from outside the area have no bearing on the success local adverstisment and he knows it so that would explain his defensiveness. I think store owners and local businesses should move over to NJ.com and Hoboken Patch before his whole insidious empire crumbles.
Whether or not his site lingers on or not one thing is for sure: it is no longer the place to go for reasonable coverage of Hoboken politics since his recent posts and commenting policy has destroyed what was once an open forum. Good riddance when he eventually blows his stack and closes shop.
