Reader review.
On the issue covering the death of Iran President Ebrahim Raisi, a weeks-long saga in the comments section over a single commenter came to a head. Clive posted the following:
[Sir — ] subscribers, especially paid subscribers, support Tangle and Isaac because we want to read and think about balanced, constructive and well-reasoned insights. That is clearly not your bailiwick so please respect the audience here and take your platform and diatribes elsewhere.
Isaac, you talked recently about the need to improve engagement with the Tangle community outside of live events. Along with improving the technical functionality and UE of the comment section, it is imperative that you don’t allow lone wolves with a very clear agenda to infect the open-minded, balanced and constructive ethos of Tangle’s community.
