A lot of people have asked why I don’t use Moveable Type’s comments feature. To be brief: Internet anonymity tends to bring out the trolls.
Don’t believe me? Check out another Moveable Type blog: A Small Victory. This post starts out with a bit of humor, has a few initial replies that are well-written and encouraging, and then devolves into drive-by harangues, hate speech and (I’m not kidding) necrophiliac poetry.
No thank you. I’d rather that anyone wanting to discuss the news simply click on over to the Fuzzball Forum. At least there we can ban the nuisances.
