      <![CDATA[@ 2, there are some people (Dan among them) who were adamantly opposed to having registered comments at all, and had any number of silly arguments to justify it. Although they never explained why you could turn of registered comments, I can easily imagine Dan insisting on it as a way of somehow getting his way, even though he was on the losing side of the argument. That's pure speculation, of course.

If this were a moderated forum, they would be given one-week bans pretty regularly due to their disruptions.  But while there's no moderator, we can self-moderate by hiding their idiot posts.  To whit: <br />

Bailo, because he posts stupid and wildly off-topic things.  The less attention people pay him, the worse he gets.<br />
<br />
Useless Will in Seattle, because nobody cares about his fatuous pronouncements (e.g "No. x is correct").  <br />

I just tried it.  It turns out you still see who the poster is, so it's a way to skip over the Supreme Ruler, NancyBalls, and Ken Mehlman comments, although perhaps it's an impractical solution, since it looks like you'd have to click every single comment that you do want to see.
