You Bitched, We Listened: Comments Are Back Open
No, this isn’t a prank. It’s true. The comment section on all Going Concern articles is once again open for business. We saw the diatribes and polls on Twitter, we read the pissed-off emails, we noticed the lack of activity on Open Items. You were upset when we took away comments in May. We get […]
I’m Back, Bitches. And I Brought a Special Guest.

Rejoice, Jerk-offs! Passive-Aggressive Downvoting Has Returned
So, I’ve been back here for almost three months (time flies when you’re flinging salt, I know) and the one complaint I keep hearing is about the comment section.
