Oh Diana, I don't think they need our support. Joe has been a columnist for decades, and has a large and devoted readership. I read him regularly, and his work on TCHC matters and his support for landlord licencing have been good for tenants. Jenny is a fine writer - she has interviewed me 2 or 3 times I think. A free press is a part of a democracy, even those who may write things against our interests. So, I am no fan of boycotts. In fact, they can some times back fire.
Thank you for sharing your opinions with us from time to time.
