I'm not familiar with the term neckbeard. Though I agree about the idiots who comment inappropriately on Nixie's posts. But there will always be idiots.

I think of them more as a tabloid rag, with their emphasis on
sensationalist headlines and breaking stories even before decisions
are actually reached at UDSes (just because a wiki page musing on a
possibility exists doesn't mean it's going to happen; there are
several hundred untouched blueprints in Launchpad).  That whole
"neckbeards" incident really showed they have no respect for the
community or their readers.  So, no pageviews from me.

If you choose to read it, avoid the comments.  They're full of troll
spew, and especially so when the misogynerds come out of the woodwork
for Nixie.
