The Passive Voice site has a reputation that the comments (and snark) are often better than the linked articles. No surprise given how many established writers (Indies and hybrids) are regulars.
Now to wait for the Inevitable Konrath line by line fisking of Shatzkin. It is going to get real ugly real fast.
