The town didn't know the CMC were being blackmailed, so from their perspective, the CMC are writing hurtful stories and they might write anything they learn about them. From their perspective, not talking to them to avoid more columns about themselves is the best thing to do. What would you do if someone wrote that kind of stuff about you? You would obviously try to avoid the writer as much as possible.
