Good summary. At one time, it was very good. But not for very long.
For a while there were funny stories. There were touching stories. There were stories that gave you information not found anywhere else.
And then, instead of wit, insight, and humanity, you had a bunch of articles that assumed sarcasm was inherently funny, that whining was the same as making a stand, and that mocking was ultimate form of writing (who will be the first to accuse this board of the same thing
)
