I am growing increasingly frustrated with the fact that the Dispatch refuses to let me comment on more serious local matters such as the city announcing that they will lay off 300 firefighters/police officers unless..., but they let me comment on trivial issues such as "the dangers of foul balls at Huntington Park".
What gives?

Only took 13 comments in to get the "trolley to nowhere" comment.

Oh

now I know where to send people who think that CU is teeming with vicious, rabid loudmouths.
I often wonder after reading that crap if it is the same 4 or 5 individuals posting on every story. Surely there can't be that many racist, illiterate, manic, angry people in Columbus. Hopefully they are all posting from the burbs.

I realize that I am the idiot. Is it just me, or is the ease of making a comment more difficult in the metro/local/politics section?

On one link I didn't see a comment thread at all. Is it too much to ask that the Dispatch set up comment sections which operate like every single other site out there? It's almost as irritating as reading the comments.

Were there any comments on Walker's letter to the editor?

wow... the level of discourse in the big D comments section is sinking lower by the day.

I almost rolled around laughing when I read the "we wanted to do [comments] right." considering how horrible their website is, that had me in stitches.

I tried to look at the Pride-related threads, but their search system blows, and the home page wouldn't load and scroll and I just got irritated and gave up.
