Read other letters about this article
It looks like Cary might have wrote this letter himself just to see the reaction.
Anyway, though the letter is 'over wrought,' I agree with the basic sentiment of it and several of the other letter writers. Salon is slipping and slipping badly. There used to be a lot more essays that took thought and probably some good editing. Now most essays read like typical quick blogs (I have an opinion and can type and push send).
Carey's answers are not improving and his choice of letters to answer is getting to the point that even 'Dear Abbey' would wince.
Yes, I click, but not often and mostly to just read the letter, barely the skim the answer.
As a premium member since the start I now spend more time at New York Times, Huffington Post, and others and doubt I will continue with my money here.
The publishers and editors need to go back 6-7 years and read through what used to be offered. May not always agree with Ms. Paglia, Ms. Bright, etc. but the writing and selection was more 'salon' like.
Believe Salon serves a purpose with its 'progressive' view, but it no longer is a 'must read' destination.
