How To Stop The Internet Comments
Are you opposed to the noise of strangers? Did you know there was a custom CSS page (don't worry about what that means if you don't know! You can still use it!) that disables most comments up in your browser? It is true-it simply strips out any part of a web page that has the name "comments." (So, obviously, this works sometimes and not others.) But worth a try if you crave silence and the like, you heartless hater.
I feel–I feel like–I feel like I'm having trouble breathing.
This thing even works on the Awl. NOT THAT YOU CAN HEAR ME.
First.
I thought you loved me?
I want one that generates MORE comments.
That's where YOU come in!
Well you would have to make a machine that creates posts on Casey Johnson.
aka A/S/L.css
(I secretly hoped that you disabled comments on this post. Just 'cause!)
Sometimes, when I can't log in? I think my account has hand-picked for a time-out. So paranoid! I mean, that would never happen, right?
No edit button to fix the lapsed "been" in a successful reply? Fantastic! I can now draw the attention of commenters I like to my aberrations of grammar, spelling and logic. Good job, Cho!
Wait, I LOVE this idea. (Except I would be in a permanent state of time out I think?) I'm even picturing the little Commenter Time Out chair? (It is decoupaged with photos of Balk covering his face at various social events and a disapproving-looking Cat!) And oooh maybe we will have to wear a little sign around our next that says "Jolie is having a Time Out right now."
Man I have GOT to get out of the house.
Ahem: "around our necks" and WOW that was an interesting typo!
I'm a big fan of homonymy typos, because they make me look like an illiterate, giving me a rhetorical element of surprise.
Comments disabled? No big deal, I'll just go back to printing out articles, writing my comments in the margin and faxing them to everyone.
Book deal.
