Thank You, Thank You, Cowardly Commenters!

Thanks for validating my thesis that anonymity is what turns web commenting from free expression into a digital lynch mob.

This is ridiculous. Why the hell is this boar of a man allowed to write articles on this site? It’s turning into the Huffington Post or Daily Kos. What’s next? Are you going to write articles encouraging Republicans to steal Obama yard signs next election or invite a senior Al Queda leader to weigh-in on what he thinks about our foreign policy? One of the great things I admired about conservative blogs is that they didn’t hire sensationalist nutjobs who are the political equivalent of Perez Hilton to write “drama articles” to spice things up and attract the “younger” viewers. If I wanted to see that kind of garbage I’d visit one of those trash sites. Please don’t allow Pajamas Media to turn into a tabloid conservative blog. Fire this bafoon or we’ll stop visiting. Please don’t make the mistake of tolerating these “troll” writers because you think they’ll increase vistors to your site. You’d be destroying an extremely amazing conservative blog and resource.

Hey, watch your spelling. Bufoon. Anyway, all he asked for was transparency.
