The blog war involving Stuck on the Palmetto, Critical Miami and the Daily Pulp would be comic if it weren't so dumb. The battle, it seems, is over the anonymity of a guy named Rick -- who has been writing on Stuck on the Palmetto for a long time....and now says he won't blog anymore because

So come on Bob, give me his name and I'll print it on this blog and in the newspaper.

What say?
