News Peach Pundit to change comments policy
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Sad news for people who like to publicly insult others.
Conservative political blog Peach Pundit says he's changing Peach Pundit's comments infrastructure to reduce the number of personal attacks.
Bossman Erick Erickson:
For the past few months things in our comment threads have really gotten out of hand [. . .] They have descending into ad hominem chaos.
You know its bad when "goat fucking child molester" guy thinks a web site is too ad hominemy.
Don't despair.
If you're hell-bent on calling your fellow citizens Nazis, Communists, racists, reverse racists, child molesters or you're simply irate about President Obama's plan to euthanize the elderly and Sarah Palin's babies, you're in luck:
Rep. Hank Johnson is hosting a town hall meeting tonight to discuss federal healthcare policy.
Correction: The first version of this post incorrectly stated the comments were shut down.

The policy changes, which still are being debated internally, are not about shutting out any opinions and are certainly not about trying to become an echo chamber. We've noticed a change where we have a few commenters who are attempting to brow-beat damn near everyone, and a few thread jack artists who are just plain boring. We've thus far erred on the side of most anything goes. We're now attempting to find the best way to bring some balance back to the mix. We're also trying to be pretty open about what it is we're trying to accomplish, and are soliciting comments and suggestions. Those comments and suggestions I don't agree with will be promptly deleted. In all seriousness, we're struggling with trying to get this right. It's probably going to be a bit of trail and error, but hopefully not too much error.
