I'm not sure if it's still funny or maybe already depressing.

Which part, the essay or the absence of an editor at WSJ? 3500 words does not a blog post make.

To me it sounds like a "let's blame a single (communication) tool as the root of all society problems", while the tool just give more visibilities to some tragic consequences of broader social dynamics.
I may as well make a diatrib on how blogs and novels, whose growth is contributed by Amanda Filipacci behaviour, can lead to social disorders and drama. Index Librorum Prohibitorum, we miss you so much.
I actually laughed a bit at the post, because there's a small amount of truth to it. At its worst, I've seen enwiki's WP:AN's degrade into a drama-laden dump, with bad faith assumed on entire posts. Just my two-cents worth, but I'd suggest stepping back, laughing at ourselves, and taking a lesson from the blog post. To an outside observer like the author, our interactions on talk pages and discussions in the project namespace may come across as jarring.
