I've found the staff contact at Civil Comments to be extraordinarily receptive, conscientious and...very civil! So I wish I could be less critical of CC. But it has failed, because if you're going to have a self-moderating community, you can't include a critical mass of people whose main objective is to sabotage that community. It's obvious alt-right supporters have been determined to gain a foothold in the most robust progressive Catholic commentariat in the blogosphere, and they've succeeded, to some extent. Obviously I think there should be massive pushback. Some of these trolls wouldn't have lasted ten minutes in The Horde.
