That's what happens when you lie down with comlibtards, Arianna. :) She's fabulous, though.

Welcome to the Internet, Arianna. People have this idea that they can say whatever they want. It's weird.

While you're at it, maybe you could ask those Silicon Valley geniuses to look into this "spam" problem as well. I'm told some people find it rather inconvenient.

It's an easy fix that most programmers miss. Just set "showVileComments = false". The default value is "true". It's located right above "allowIdiotsToComment = true".

HuffPo without the snark or vitriol makes it as appealing as Valleywag. I wasn't setting this up to be a joke.

Arianna's all butthurt because somebody said naughty words in her comment section? Or said something that didn't mesh with your sense of right and wrong (or left and wrong, whatever)?

Tough. You were the one who decided that blogging was the wave of the future, you can deal with the angered dissenters with a curse-peppered form of logorrhea just like any of the rest of us.

HuffPo: It's OK to be vile if your on the right (left) side of the isle.

Pretty simple:
Vileness = (Disagrees with Me) * (Political Content) / Intelligence^2

But... but... but... I thought meanness and snark was HuffPo's core draw for their key demographic.
