Dear Ms. Walsh,
I was very happy to see you now have a blog, because I've read you for years and always admired you. I'm one of the majority (60%? 85%? 99%?) who read Salon, think, "Wow, what an insightful article," and don't post anything, because I like what I read. And one of the reasons I don't post is that the people who do mostly seem so negative, so impossible to please, and have such gigantic chips on their shoulders. I don't want to associate with such people, and am afraid if I say something supportive they'll turn on me too, and make me sorry I bothered. I'm sure you're right about the misogynist bias; I'm a man (which I mention because some women bear my first name as well), but I have spent much of my career promoting underrated women artists and fighting the feminist fight. Keep in mind the millions of us out here who turn to Salon for our daily dose of intelligent opinion, and whom you never hear from because we're just happy someone's fighting the good fight.
