A nuanced story on a delicate subject

Nieman Storyboard's April Reese gives the annotation treatment to a Peter Baker story about a young man and his web site devoted to lonely people. She focuses in part on how the writer remained firmly neutral in his treatment of an often objectionable subject: "Baker acts as our guide to a subculture that’s difficult for many people to relate to: the world of 'involuntary celibates,' filled with men — and they are almost all men — blaming their loneliness on women."
