I have known C&L since the early days and used to enjoy the site quite a bit.

Slowly, I noticed more and more headlines that were deliberately misleading, and sometimes the article itself. Over time, this got worse and worse. Moreover, when I've mentioned it on the comments, the author (and one time the founder, John Amato) jumped in to defend their misuse of the English language, as if their desire for something to be so made it true.

The comment community is very tribal and brooks no dissenting views, no matter how respectful. I've not had the experience of having my comments removed, but it's obvious that C&L wants to be an echo chamber. And it is. This is re-enforced by the community, and sometimes by someone on staff.
