Back in August I Wrote an article about Peter Shih, the founder of trycelery.com. Shih unleashed an anti-San Francisco rant, decrying the city's homeless population, condition of its streets, and the weather--among other things. At any rate, my "Open letter to Peter Shih" was an appeal to Shih to consider his insensitive remarks, in light of the fact that the tech industry has been the main cause of evictions of long term San Francisco residents. To see the letter to Peter Shih, go to: http://poormagazine.org/node/4892 My letter to Shih was a polite entreaty, an olive branch of sorts, to start a dialogue with him as a result of what I perceived as his sincere apology for his remarks and to make amends in some kind of way. My letter was written back in August. To date, 113 days have gone by with no response from Shih--no Tweet, no email, no post--nothing. I tried to reach him at trycelery but his name doesn't appear on the site, no email address, and no physical address.
I started to ask myself if Peter Shih ever really existed. So, I have decided to post a new article called "Shih is missing". So far, he has been missing for 113 days. Will he ever appear?
