Read other letters about this article
I've been reading Salon since 1997 and there have always been these "Life" sort of articles. One great thing about Salon is that one day a political article is the headliner, and the next day a treatise about a TV show is up front. The editors mix it up.
The nastiness of these letters is insane. The letters section has become the whiniest writing online. If you don't like the topic of an article, don't read it! No newspaper, magazine or web site NEEDS to be compulsively read "cover to cover" to be enjoyed. Pick what interests you, and read that. Not interested in a particular writer or topic? DON'T READ IT. Simple.
Here's another idea. Instead of spending so much time writing letters decrying the topics or quality of articles on Salon, how about spending your time writing something you'd like to see here, and submitting it? And then you can sit back and wait for the barrage of whacko hatred from the letters to the editor.
