Sample Comments
The comments on here are starting to look like a Facebook post.
I sympathize with your sentiment, but uncivil comments are likely to be downvoted / flagged.
I understand the sentiment but comments like this detract from the value of this community.
The amount of sarcasm, triteness, and personally directed anger in the comments here is disappointing.
It might be because your comments aren't really adding much to the conversation other than wild speculation and hyperbole.
There you go, some people obviously even have trouble looking at the comments :)
Wow, some of the negativity in the comments here astounds me.
I’m surprised that a pretty vanilla comment got so much hate, it’s hard to please everyone!
There are too many sarcastic comments in this thread. Seriously. There are 10 comments which are essentially the same. I hate to use the cliche comparison to Reddit, but it's hard not to.
Man, that comment section, though.
