Many sources tell us that David Brudnoy is very unhappy with the articles in MassNews about him and the Boy Scouts.

He is certainly making it clear that our newspaper and website are read by many thousands of people every day, both in and outside of the state.

Brudnoy is telling people that we are the most scurrilous of journalists.

But if there are any errors or distortion in our stories, we would like to know about them and correct them. If David would like to respond, we will print in full, without any changes, anything he wishes to say.

The sad truth is that he's the one who made a spectacle of himself in allowing his deification by the Boston Council as a role model for boys. What parent would want his child to go through what Brudnoy did? It is a curse to avoid at all costs. David has made that lesson perfectly clear.

Many men have gotten venereal diseases down through the ages, but this is the first time that any have blamed someone else for their problems. Everyone has to feel pity and sympathy for Brudnoy, but not when he tries to convince innocent children about the efficacy of the lifestyle that caused his problems.

David, you can do what you want with your life. No society has been able to stop that lifestyle and we will not be able to either. But we can keep you away from our children and we shall do so.

We at MassNews are like the little boy who told his father, "The king has no clothes." We merely said what everyone could see but didn't say for many reasons.

It is just one more example why an independent voice like MassNews is needed in the Commonwealth.
