Yes, we all have, but there is so much more to Puna, and it could be shared with others in a much more positive light than his.. 

"Puna has long been a counter-culture haven for folks desiring to live off-grid, work on organic farms – if at all – and play on an active rift zone" 

that to begin an article as such is to suggest that this is the majority view, the majority behavior, the majority lifestyle, of Puna. Whereas it is not. Far from it. So much so that I believe Jason did a lot more harm than good to the wonderful people of Puna and should feel ashamed of himself for capitalizing on such slander.

And, as I said, based on this level of poor reporting I think Jason should not be welcome back as a reporter for CB. Really, if he wants to paint distorted views of things there's plenty of online forums for him to write in. But to sully the pages of Civil Beat is tantamount to harming the best we have.

Shame on you Jason Armstrong
