Only two comments have actually been approved, one from somebody named Jimmy who's openly gay and has been gay-bashed (obviously not Wales, since his known sleeping-around has been purely heterosexual), and somebody named Linda praising the WSJ article.
It's odd, because Ms. Weckerle doesn't moderate the comments on her personal site, though she claims to do so.
This is currently what's on her

I have just found this great forum with the subject on the organic farming.
http://www.organic-farming.orgGreat ways to eat only good and healthy food. To prepere yourself for upcoming years of hunger.
http://www.organic-farming.orgThere are arround 1000 members and 10000 of threads for you to read and participate in most likely one of the biggest problems on earth!
http://www.organic-farming.orgAdmittedly, WR's own blog isn't maintained as well as it should be, but at least we took the trouble to install Akismet? Compared to spam, incivility is a trifling problem on the internets, and you'll find very few people willing to argue against that assertion.
