All comments do is add "spin" and remind us (like we need reminding) of the stupidity of others.

I kinda like my left-leaning news without a side of commentary, thanks. Then I go to other websites (like here!) for comments on articles. Turning the Times online into something akin to Amazon is just plain icky.

I envision hundreds of DowdHaters posting innocuous comments on the Arts and Leisure articles until they can get unmoderated access and then really let loose. Gaming this system is almost going to be unsporting. Almost.

They cut me off without even executing me. It took me so long to get back on that for awhile I thought they had banned my IP address, not that it wasn't warranted.
