    Shutting down comments and banning everyone who calls them out is standard form for that place these days sadly; I deleted a 13 year old account there a few years back when they posted some godawful transphobic opinion peace and then they doubled down in the comments and started banning anyone who complained.

    Shame, it really was once a good site, but the writers who are left are the ones who got high on their own supply years ago.
