Please bring back Disqus. This may be my last comment here if it doesn’t come back. This interface sucks!
The irony involved with the bitching about Disqus by some here with the pleas to now bring it back is not lost on me.
It will be interesting to see what Will does, if he ever gives us a scoop on why he changed it, and if there’s any room for improvement under the new commenting system.
“Money is speech! Freedom of speech!”
Money isn’t speech. Speech can’t be transferred between bank accounts. Speech has no value in bribing a politician. Speech cannot be saved or spent. Speech is something a poor person can and should be able to exercise just as much as a rich person. Speech can be done for free.
If money is speech, and the people who have the most “speech” should be allowed to spend it, even if one admits that this fucks up the political process entirely, then I guess some animals are more equal than others.
Yeah Smirks, some animals are more equal. Cheetah to bunny rabbit, elephant to turtle.
Your desire for all to have “an equal say” while admirable, is unattainable.
At best they can all have an equal vote.
Spoken like the true socialist Will defined you as.
Where was all this outrage before the Koch Brothers, it appears the right is catching up with the left.
Perhaps the new commenting format is also muzzling free speech.
:)
Don’t worry FITS, they won’t touch you, The State, MSNBC or Media Matters. You are in lockstep w/ the Gestapo, saying exactly what they want you to say.
FITS now has exactly the same commenting system as Jeff Sewell’s SC HOTLINE.
Not exactly a move forward.
Hmm……..we wonder how much Disqus charges per month ….?
{…Boomerang 101, 404, 901…..Patton had a vision of “carts” that told him the war was over for the Germans………hmm, we wonder if the lack of Disqus is a “cart” signal on the battlefield..?
…}
Disqus really slows down website. Especially on mobile browsers.
Yep, no question Disqus is a pile of shit….but it looks like he’s just swapping turds right now.
Ah! Looks like they have fixed the problem!
All previous comments seem to be gone.
Dovetails right into the topic, doesn’t it?
Well, not quite…
Freedom of speech, assembly and religion, are essential to democracy. As these freedoms go, so does our country.
Nice girl in the photo. Can I get her number? She’s my type of woman: silent.
You may want to re-think that. The photo could have been taken while she was sitting on a Walmart toilet
Good point.
Mmmmmm … Obviously yet another federal agency that needs castrating and fund cutting.
“Mr. candidate: What part of the Constitution do you want to change?”
Fits has a great blog because he allows free speech,while that Brad guy assumes an air of superiority and ‘civility’.BW has made plenty of homophobic(hate that word) ,veiled comments,which have made me despise him,especially when he tries so hard to pretend he doesn’t like gay people.
