Today's Webtip: Shutup!

A custom stylesheet to deal with this annoying comments.

I'm addicted to comments.

Most sites I visit have incredibly useful comment sections. Comments that add to the understanding of the story, provide useful background information, or are simply entertaining. But some sites...

The problem is that I just can't help myself. Even when I know what's coming I will wade into that swamp and work my way through to the end. Appalled and amazed at the same time.

But in general, I like comments, and I think the trend to ward killing comment sections is a very bad thing. And since I don't want to live in an echo chamber, it would be handy to be able to get a bit more selective about my comment consumption.

So I am going to try shutup.css.

A stylesheet to shutdown comments. Maybe that will keep me for the hair pulling I know I am going to be doing when I visit certain notoriously troll-infected waters.
