First, that’s one heck of an ego to think that without you and the other bloggers, people would have no idea what’s really going on. There have been many post right here on Punaweb from non-bloggers who provided just as much if not more in-depth information not publicly discussed or printed. That's actually an insult to the people. (afterall, you didn't even know that the military is paying for almost all the Saddle Road improvements, and you still don't know the truth why Walmart pulled out of the DHHL deal)

On that note, this topic is very frustrating to someone like myself.I spend a couple hours of my free time each day updating my blog. Thus I feel like I'm getting unjustly criticized because I blog.
Oh Geez, your feelings got hurt.
What the heck did you expect? You write your blog. You post it on the internet for people to read. You want people to read it. You hold yourself up as a voice of truth, justice and the Hawaii Island way...And you’re upset because people comments on it in a manner you don’t like? If you don’t want anyone commenting on you or your writings, get a hardcover diary and keep it underneath your socks in the bottom drawer.
I find it ironic that you wrote the following

It was a calculated move to deny the public any transparency and accountability in regards to how the DPW operates.
Sounds an awful lot like a criticism of DPW. So why can’t people comment freely about how they perceive the BI blogger scene? This would probably be a good time to throw in the “heat” and “frying pan” saying or maybe the "goose" and "gander" is appropriate.
