So it has launched a new site: Kmartforever.com. It's a place where the only news is good news; any Kbashing gets the kibosh. And don't even think about dissing Martha Stewart there. You may post upbeat Kmart stories, read how to write a pro-Kmart letter to the editor or just bask in the blue light of love. So far, two dozen messages have gone up. By comparison, an anti-store site has seen more than 7,000 Kdisses go live.
