I think the comments are sometimes more fun to read than the blog itself. We have some very colorful readers out there. ah memories.

Funny thing was that there was a debate on another blog site about my post, but my comments were deleted by the poster. You can probably guess which of the 83 comments were from her. But yeah, good retrospective on everything! I guess I had best get posting so we can get to 1000 all the sooner!

I used to be a lot more relaxed about asshats wasting database space with trollish comments, but I can't be bothered to tolerate them anymore. I'll let as much go as I feel inspires conversation (even if heated), but outside of that, the delete button is a simpler solution than moderating it all closely.

I read a few and really enjoyed some of the back-and-forth comments, and seeing how some of them escalate over long periods of time. As in most blog sites, I'll hang around for a few posts and then withdraw when the simians start lobbing nasty insults. They really are in no way constructive and really just look like a couple of angst-ridden adolescents venting their misery on complete strangers. When people can manage to stay above that, you've got some really fascinating threads here, and I appreciated you drawing attention to some of the more controversial ones.
