Commenting Policy to Change Due to Abuse and Intimidation from Trolls

“As I said, move the obvious AstroTurfs to a second
page, accessible via a single link, surrounded by warnings of the
hostile nature of the content, just the way MS has forced PC OEMs
to hide Linux offerings.

“It’s as fair a treatment as these egotists
deserve. It is obvious that they are using the Canopus Attack
method to swamp your website with the most outrageous postings

…. all the hallmarks of the Canopus Attack.
They’ve got it down to an art form, like
obnoxious WFW tag team members. Now you have
“Lefty†threatening to sue
you… classic MS tactic.
That’s how MS muzzled the security people into
forcing them to release news of security holes ONLY to
Microsoft.”
