As of August 29, 2012, I ended writing my science column for The WashingtonTimes.com Communities (TWTC) and I asked my editors that all my so far written science columns be removed from TWTC web site.
After a long consideration, I decided to remove my column because of the very conservative views presented in The Washington Times (TWT), that I do not wish to be associated with.
I was aware that TWT is conservative, both politically and socially, when I started writing for the Communities. However, reading more of this newspaper over the last several months made me realize that my personal views are very different and I cannot identify myself in any way with the conservative views and opinions presented in TWT.
Thus, even though my column was about science and my editors were great, I decided to quit and not be asociated with this very conservative newspaper.
All of my science columns that were published in TWTC in 2011/2012 (without comments that I do not have) are available in pdf format below:

Dariusz,
Can you help me understand what is going on here? This report was just released and I am in disbelief…
Mobile phones and wireless networks: No evidence of health risk found

Mac, I just posted a brief story on Norwegian report.
Professor:
I wish you had remained with your column with the Washington Times. I’m not particularly fond of their demonization of the Democratic party (I’m non-partisan) but I think your column transcended that.
The best part of your column was was its attraction to the chieftains of the anti-wireless activists, which allowed me, to some extent, to confront them directly (the Cindy Sage debate being the highlight).
I remain an implacable, anonymous foe to anti-wireless activism — at least to the extent that it is led by people who butcher science.
For you, despite our frequent disagreement, I have tremendous respect, and accordingly, you will always be “Professor!”
Regards.
Biron, thank you for your kind words.
Dariusz,
Based on replies, did you feel you reached a significantly broader audience through that column as compared with this blog?
Marne
Marne,
Yes, the audience was automatically broader. To the column, I brought with me readers of my science blog on wordpress.com and gained new readers via TWTC site. I hope that these new readers will find now my science blog for the news and analyses about cell phone radiation and health.
Dear Dariusz,
I enjoyed reading your illumination views on EMF discussions that matter. Too bad you met a conservative newspaper, but seen from the bright side: many people have at least read your educated messages. I do hope you’ll find another medium to share your critical views with interested readers. The world needs that. Speaking for those many people suffering form the EMF-EHS problem, in this country,

Hugo, I will continue writing in this science blog. So, as Australians say: “no worries, mate”.
