FINALLY! Someone has spoken out against the harsh realities of the internet, the damage it can do to one’s psyche, and is READY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I sense a groundswell here, people! We DO NOT have to put up with people hacking into our accounts! We DO NOT have to listen to our grandsons pitching a tantrum in their bedrooms! We DO NOT have to find ourselves at the mercy of evil people on the internet ever again! WHY?? Because Grandma is calling THE INTERNET POLICE! (What’s the number for the internet police again?)
Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.) More by Wm. Steven Humphrey
Will the technical folks behind the blogtown commenting systems please allow us to rate blogposts and comments by choosing between the options “like,” “dislike,” “sad trombone” and “QUIT TROLLING HIM QUIT IT!” It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
@ Number Six- I love it…”QUIT TROLLING HIM QUIT IT!” would be a great rating…

@Number Six: That crap never works, anyone can clear their cookies and “rate” over and over again. When Wonkette started with that I walked out the virtual door and never went back. (Actually, I just did, to take a peek. Hate their new format.)
Looks like Brian Posehn shaved his beard and put on a mumu.
Everybody hear that? Todd implied that if Blogtown instituted a rating system he’d leave. Can we please make this happen?
@*: I’d write a hell of a flounce comment, too. One for the ages.
