"For some time now, the opinion du jour in "enlightened" media circles has been
to treat the news comment section (aka the customers who visit your website
daily and directly) as some kind of irredeemable leper colony. One that should
be nuked from orbit before the infection spreads."

Some well deserved snark.

Cheers,
