I'm policing the comments now. I've already deleted a bunch and banned several IPs, and it's amazing how much more civil the arguments are already. But apologies to any trolls who thought they had a safe harbor to troll, and wasted their precious time writing comments I deleted. There's no safe harbor. As of now, if I don't like your comment, I'll delete it.
