blog.cws.net — From the article:"I've noticed that user comments have gotten out of control. These days, it's hard to find an article submission that isn't full of offensive comments and blatant disrespect for other users. Some threads are more about bashing other users than they are about commenting on the articles" Agree/disagree?

I believe that th ppl who post really stupid comments are suffering from nerd rage. They can't take out thier frustrations in real life so they pathetically resort to bashing ppl online.

i agree with the dig down as a game being silly. i mean the idea is to ponder the usefulness or relevance in any sense of a comment, and give it thumb up or down accordingly. just because you dont agree with a statement doesnt mean you have to bury it. on many chances ive found interesting comments buried just because a group of people seem not to like it, without giving any comment or clue to why this is.

It's ridiculously easy for people to bury an entire story, anonymously, just because they don't like the person who posted it, or their political views, or because something in the comment stream puts them in a bad light.Just for laughs...here's a case in point:Look at the comment stream on this post, to see how I vainly attempted to deal with a person who called me "stupid":<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/politics/Barack_Dumbo_Obama_Can_t_Handle_Being_Teased_About_His_Big_Ears">http://digg.com/politics/Barack_Dumbo_Obama_Can_t_Handle_Being_Teased_About_His_Big_Ears</a>But as soon as I posted my reply to Canewediggit, somebody Buried the entire story down to oblivion, and now nobody is seeing any of this! Grrr!By the way (chuckle, shameless self-promotion) - anybody who's curious about my true identity is invited to look at these:<a class="user" href="http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/bigcat.htm">http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/bigcat.htm</a> <a class="user" href="http://www.tvweber.com">http://www.tvweber.com</a>

@fufubagThat option apparently doesn't work. I've had it selected for ages.
