I find the comments there to be rather poorly reasoned. Kicking out two abusive people from your community does not mean there is no problem, especially when both cases were terribly handled. And just because a newspaper has a slant, it doesn’t mean that allegations are not real.
The response on the LW forum has been horrifying.

Update: there are some now sane commenters in the mix, although those comments came much later.
