Brian Smaller,

For nice quoting with indent and stuff.

Redbaiter is much more entertaining than you Stephen!

That your way of telling me I don’t get to host the Oscars?

I’m happy sniping, very little worth commenting extensively on these days…takes time too.

You sit there sniping in the shadows, yet you really have no declared view.

Probably another XXy person.

FFS the leftie liberal ranks are full of them.

Or xYY woman, lke the Beast with a Skirt.

The outrageous Bully Bitch H2.

Good Riddance to a Freak Show Headliner!

David,
“Best I read the manual”
We all know that the manual is only the manufacturers opinion.

Btw can we get rid of that bork bork bork troller?
Is the bork the last of the incumbent Liarbour? I think not.

Look inside yourself son, the answer lies with your true intentions.

I note my earlier comment (that the “best, most sensible” comments are not necessarily the ones that get the top Karma Scores) has aquired 3 negative scores. This is evidence of the problem with your suggestion, DPF, since in my post there was nothing that could be said to be wrong, offensive, unfair, unethical or reprehensible. Yet three people have seen fit to give the post a thumbs-down.

Glutaemus Maximus:

Helen may suck, but pretty sure she never blows!

That reminds me of something Richard Prebble said some time back in the late 90s when he was asked to comment as Wellington Central MP on Wellington’s weather. He shot back with: “the trouble with this town is, it’s wetaher sucks and blows at the same time”.

“The trouble is, the “best, most sensible” comments are not necessarily the ones that get the top Karma Scores, since the nutters often auto-thumbs-down any comments by people they identify as opposing their world view”

I think perhaps he feels he has been unfairly judged? maybe he should run his best comment again and we can reassess it with a high degree of objectivity………
(LOL)

DPF: Your theme probably needs the code inserted in the comments template, unless the plugin says it will do it automatically.

Even if it does, it would still need to be styled.

I think your only redeeming feature is the tendency to accuse Redbaiter of being a homosexual Labour party plant…

So does ‘nest’ actually mean an ignore button? Can’t see anything in Firefox or IE…

If I did sadly succumb to an ignore button I probably wouldn’t come here any more – what would be the point?! Would have to do something halfway productive, or go troll at NotPC.

The trouble is, the “best, most sensible” comments are not necessarily the ones that get the top Karma Scores, since the nutters often auto-thumbs-down any comments by people they identify as opposing their world view.

Yeah, it’s pretty much useless, which is why I tend to laugh at the naive or delicate little flowers who take offence/satisfaction from karma scores.

Good stuff from SSB there!

How do you quote somebody so it is nicely indented with the highlighted background (as per Harpon’s comment at 8:18pm above)?

I hope your ignore button works big blouse? Firefox doesn’t use such crap.

I think this will seriously weaken Kiwiblog. Sounds like the ignore feature will have many listening to none. I know that most of the time we don’t see eye to eye or get pissed off with what some are saying but surly if we don’t listen to all, even what we consider to be stupid comments then we really don’t believe in free speech. Look at all the misery in the world at the moment a lot of these problems arise because we have failed to listen to each other. I will not be hitting the ignore button.

“Even better if there is a Highlght facility to the best, most sensible comment per thread based on Karma Scores”

The trouble is, the “best, most sensible” comments are not necessarily the ones that get the top Karma Scores, since the nutters often auto-thumbs-down any comments by people they identify as opposing their world view.

Incedentally, using Firefox, I see no facility to nest and thread comments. Is it my browser or am I doing something wrong?

I could see how many ‘most sensible comment awards’ i hoover up with comments like ‘Helen Clark sure did suck’!

DPF, Looks like you are on a winner there!!

How lovely to be able to ‘Cloak’ all the Trite, Contemptable, Egocentric claptrap from the usual ‘Band of Bros’.

Even better if there is a Highlght facility to the best, most sensible comment per thread based on Karma Scores!

What an Xmas present.
