I can only speak for myself, but something changed after Kirk Lapointe left.
It used to take me multiple readings to get through a Saturday paper back then. I cancelled my subscription after many months of literally taking 3-4 minutes to skim through the paper every day. It wasn't anger, or some statement. I simply felt that I wasn't getting my money's worth anymore. I debated getting a Star subscription largely due to (at that time) their urban focus and great ideas....even they've started to get watered down lately.

to the fellow posting behind a screen-name: Terry Cooke was never the spokesperson for two-way streets, getting trucks out of downtown, curbing sprawl and developing the inner core like he is today. That's why I've become a fan.

I'll admit I'm having a hard time with this line of thinking:

I can assure you, we never had any intent of taking legal action against you.

All we ever hoped for, or asked, was that the allegation of racism be removed.

From my point of view, Mahesh's suggestion of racial discrimination was just as overt or veiled as Andrew's threat of legal action. Howard stating 'we had no intent of taking legal action' is no different than Mahesh saying I didn't intent to call him a racist.

Most commenters here have agreed that both - Mahesh's race statement and Andrews legal threat - were inappropriate.
I agree
