The editor of Bazaar has replied to the previous post Bazaar Magazine Knows Shit. This is what he had to say:
mark,for your information I am a regular reader of your blog and am always very impressed by it as I am by all of you guys!. I wish we had a tenth of the freedom you guys have in expressing yourselves.Moreover,just to clarify something to you,we dont edit writers and we dont pick and choose what we print and what we dont print depending on OUR point of view. We dont neccesarily agree with what our writers submit,but we do give them space to express themselves. Unfortunately,sometimes that means that some readers will definately not agree with something written.These views do NOT represent our point of view,and to prove it,have a look at all the positive articles on blogging and on bloggers we have had over the years.I strongly urge you to write a column regarding the article that came out with your views on the matter and I promise you it will get published in bazaar! best regards.
I am personally not a good writer (my vocabulary is very basic) but maybe another blogger out there like Nibaq, shewritesq8 or K can write an article from a bloggers point of view.

Its nice to know Bazaar is purely a vehicle people can use to say what they like, in print! 🙂 I think more bloggers should write for it!
NO! This just another way for them to get free articles written to fill up their “eye candy” magazine! Its nice to look at with no substance at all! If u fall for this “write something back” plan, ur just saving them money and giving them publicity ;P
Dear sir, by making so much fuss online u are already giving them publicity. Stick that in ure pipe ‘n smoke it
Dear Q,
Why aren’t you willing to support an up and coming magazine in Kuwait? For a person that continuously expresses disdain on the way things are in kuwait, its quite hypocritical of you not to support progression.
Also FYI: Bazzar pays writers for articles!
i wanted to ask does bazaar hire poets ?
