Toronto Star media critic Zerbisias
has stopped blogging
Antonia Zerbisias, the Toronto Star media critic, set a pace in blogging that apparently couldn't be sustained and has now given it up. Since August Zerbisias (to use her words) "left the building" and hasn't blogged since, except to post one item on the death of her former colleague Sid Adilman. She was among the most prolific and wide-ranging of Star bloggers, often writing more on a subject online than she was able to in the paper.
For a time, she left comments open, and a couple of hundred came in, many of them asking when she'd be back. But now she's said "I don't have time or energy for this anymore" and suspended the comments, too. Starting a couple of weeks ago, Zerbisias, who hadn't written for the paper since August, has been writing her column in the paper. But it appears that a popular (if controversial) voice in the Canadian blogosphere has chosen to be silent.

I really enjoy (enjoyed?) Antonia's blog.
However, I can't tell if her comment (about not having time "for this") indicates a cease-blog or a decision to stop spending her time filtering all the annoying comments.
The comment tirades on some of her recent postings were getting a bit tiresome.
Amen. I think Antonia is a self-serving, annoyance in the Canadian print (and online) arena.
