When the collective allows the kind of filth to stand that I have seen, it can serve forth no reason to claim it can't understand why the readership has dropped.

So that was a dead goose chase.
What the fuck is the problem? while johnk ( or co-worker) is busy deleting minor comments, they allow comments with racial and sexist slurs to stand forever. And what is their answer?

What do you people need? It seems to myself that the readers and posters are more involved than the admittedly unpaid staff.
I sure wish I lived closer to the collective site because I'd be there in a heartbeat to annoy the people over there into a proactive MO.
Until then, we can only hope for some fresh blood and inspiration.
