I’ll admit that I found this site through a list of page-ranked blogs, but I like visiting the sites because the authors generally wrire well-constructed and thought-provoking posts (yourself included). I hope that when I do comment, it is insightful and adds something to the conversation.

A lot of the comment abuse here is just sad, though. Is there a way to filter out comments that are less than X words? That might filter out some of the spammers, or at the very least, it would give them a harder time.
