ericspinder's Journal: FP riders and other idiots

One of the more 'interesting' problems with getting a relevant 1st post, is the number of people who, 'poke' their comments, as replies your comment. As you can tell from my most recent FP, there some basic types:

• Those who just go right out and use your comment. Without any pretense they just launch their comment without regard to a parent post.
• Those that just jump in negatively, insulting people (often wrongly), to to have the pretense of presenting their POV.

What really 'kills' me is that moderators generally ignore such efforts, and instead willingly allow discussion to get 'top heavy'. I'm not the only one who has seen 2nd and 3rd posts get marked "redundant" because someone 'rides a FP' to make the same comment.
