I remember when I used to come to MyDD for really wonky inside baseball.  Unfortunately, the commenters on this site have turned this into a truly unpleasant place to visit. And that is too bad.

Jerome, please get a hold of this problem.  Disable comments for a while, eject the worst offenders.  

The internecine childishness has got to stop.  I'm tired of campaign press releases titled as diaries.  I'm tired of the egregious violations of copyright as people post whole articles written by others, with the only original content being "OOO- BREAKING, Edwards in trouble!"
