This sentence contains a provocative statement that attracts the readers’ attention, but really only has very little to do with the topic of the blog post. This sentence claims to follow logically from the first sentence, though the connection is actually rather tenuous. This sentence claims that very few people are willing to admit the obvious inference of the last two sentences, with an implication that the reader is not one of those very few people. This sentence expresses the unwillingness of the writer to be silenced despite going against the popular wisdom. This sentence is a sort of drum roll, preparing the reader for the shocking truth to be contained in the next sentence.
This sentence contains the thesis of the blog post, a trite and obvious statement cast as a dazzling and controversial insight.
This sentence claims that there are many people who do not agree with the thesis of the blog post as expressed in the previous sentence. This sentence speculates as to the mental and ethical character of the people mentioned in the previous sentence. This sentence contains a link to the most egregiously ill-argued, intemperate, hateful and ridiculous example of such people the author could find. This sentence is a three-word refutation of the post linked in the previous sentence, the first of which three words is “Um.” This sentence implies that the linked post is in fact typical of those who disagree with the thesis of the blog post. This sentence contains expressions of outrage and disbelief largely expressed in Internet acronyms. This sentence contains a link to an Internet video featuring a cat playing a piano.
This sentence implies that everyone reading has certainly seen the folly of those who disagree with the thesis of the blog post. This sentence reminds the reader that there are a few others who agree. This sentence contains one-word links to other blogs with whom the author seeks to curry favor, offered as examples of those others.
This sentence returns to the people who disagree with the thesis of the blog post. This sentence makes an improbably tenuous connection between those people and a current or former major political figure. This sentence links those people and that political figure to a broad, ill-defined sociodemographic class sharing allegedly similar belief systems. This sentence contains a reference to the teachings of Jesus; its intent may be either ironic or sincere.
This sentence refers to a different historic period, and implies that conditions relevant to the thesis of the blog post were either different or the same. This sentence states that the implications of the previous sentence are a damned shame. This sentence says that the next sentence will explain the previous sentence. This sentence contains a slight rewording of the thesis of the blog post, a trite and obvious statement cast as a dazzling and controversial insight.
This sentence contains an apparent non-sequitur phrased as if it follows logically from the reworded thesis of the blog post. This sentence is a wildly overgeneralized condemnation of one or more entire classes of people phrased in as incendiary a fashion as possible which claims to be an obvious corollary to the thesis and non-sequitur.
This sentence proposes that anyone who might disagree with the wildly overgeneralized condemnation is, by so disagreeing, actually proving the author’s point. This sentence explains that such people disagree primarily because of the author’s courageous and iconoclastic approach. This sentence mentions the additional possibilities that readers who express disagreement with the wildly overgeneralized condemnation are merely following political fashion or trying to ingratiate themselves with interest groups. This sentence is a somewhat-related assertion based in thoughtless privilege and stated as dispassionate objective truth. This sentence explains that if the scales would merely fall from those dissenting readers’ eyes, they would see the wisdom and necessity of the author’s statements.
This sentence invites readers to respond freely and without constraint as long as those responses fall within certain parameters. This sentence consists of an Internet in-joke that doesn’t quite fit the topic.
[This parenthetical sentence was appended some time after posting as an expression of gratitude for the post’s many visitors and an apology that server overload has prompted the owner’s closing of comments, at least for the time being.]
this mispunctuated internet acronym expresses the idea that the commenter could not be bothered to read all of the words you have decided to post
This sentence consists of a single word all-caps exclamation expressing the commenter’s mistaken assumption as to the numerical order of his comment.
Wonderful!
I never meta-incendiary blog post I didn’t like.
=v= This comment makes its exasperation manifest. It careens quickly into pet peeves that have nothing to do with the post, focusing instead on generalizations about women, races, bicyclists, and an ethnicity described with an adjective used as a noun. A coded racist remark is added, followed immediately by accusations of a “race card” being played.
In summary, disagreeing with this comment to any degree is censorship, which is typical for you and your misdefined 19th-century agenda.
This comment comes to the defense of the original blog post’s author with a zeal that is unsettling to behold.
This comment misreads one of the previous commenter’s comments and wonders why on earth he has posted something so off-topic as a rant about women’s bicycle races, and wants to know about this “race card” he thinks everyone is playing - what is it? Some kind of betting pool on the Tour de France?
This comment contains Internet buzzwords of approval (FTW, made of awesome) in uncertain syntax, along with one or more links to the commenter’s totally unrelated get-rich-quick scheme.
This comment takes issue with the first sentence of the blog post and goes on for quite a while making it clear that the commenter didn’t read any further.
This comment has nothing whatsoever to do with the topic of this blog post but is actually a spam comment disguised as a topical comment about online marketing.
Incendiary blogging incentivizes blog traffic.
Or, put another way:
She sells screeds by the sea shore.
This comment is a scathing attack on a commenter above that basically amounts to bringing an ongoing fight here from another site.
This comment is spam and does not even pretend to be topical. It is written in Russian so I’m not even sure if it is a sentence or not, but I’m pretty certain it’s a list of 238 links to porn sites. Somehow, it made it past the spam filter.
This comment attacks the post author by using the phrase “ad hominem” incorrectly.
This is not a comment.
This comment addresses a different blog entry and was posted here in error.
this comment goes on for far too long in a manner only tangentially related to the subject, frequently veering into personal details of the commenter’s life that were really better not shared in a public forum.
This comment nominates PZ Myers for a poll he is not a part of.
This comment agrees with the blog but worries that it may send the wrong message to those that are undecided.
This comment notices several puney spelling and grammatical errors in the previous comment’s, then goes on at length about how misuse of the English language annoys the poster more than incendiary blog postings.
This comment agrees with the content and the need to highlight the issue but thinks that presented the way it has been makes us all look mean.
This comment alludes to Muphry’s law and takes the previous reply to task for its own misspellings and grammar errors, completely oblivious to the fact that they were clearly intended as a joke.
This comment triggers Godwin’s Law.
This comment takes issue with the above commentor’s pointing out spelling and grammatical thus vearing the comment thread further off topic.
This comment congratulates the author of the blog post on being willing to say what everyone is thinking, emphasising the large number of people who agree with the author whether they know it or not, while explaining that the vast numbers of knowledgable and authoritative figures who disagree are part of a vast, pointless conspiracy.
This sentence descends into vitriolic attacks on the aforementioned authorities and blames them for unrelated or possibly nonexistent atrocities.
This comment attacks the commenter by using the phrase “begging the question” incorrectly.
This comment indicates that I have left a message simply due to the presumed future epic-ness of this thread
This comment gives a link to a YouTube video which is proffered as an excellent example of the thesis of the post, but, is actually only tangentially so at best.
This comment has been deleted by the author.
wait… what?
This comment demands information that is easily googlable and completely off topic, and castigates the post author for not presenting “both sides”. It then goes on to make implied death threats and ends with either “I’m praying for you” or “Jesus Loves you”, possibly in all caps.
This post was intended for another thread entirely but was posted here due to a mix-up in the poster’s browser tabs.
Thiz comant sez that anyone that DOESNT AGREE is blind and just hasnt open thair heart to TEH LORD XEEEEENUuUU!!!!!
Becuase the commenter nose the other commenters will die an eternal death and tortcha and burn in firey wading poolz they will pray and self-flaggUL8 for everyone (and the liddle unborn babies too).
Anyway someone sez someone died so if YOU don’t do what I say you killed them - NAZI
(than they go away)
This comment is about bacon
This comment contains the post author’s obsequious greeting to the readers dropping in from a far more highly trafficked blog with whom the author seeks to ingratiate himself.
This post erroneously claims to be first.
This post subtley brown-noses the post’s author by expressing solidarity with the common cause of both the higher trafficked blog and this emergent one.
Commenter notes that this is the first time they have seen the blog and promises to drop by again (and bookmarks it but probably doesn’t).
This comment angrily disagrees with the initial statement of the post and offers as proof an argument directly addressed within the content, thereby demonstrating that the commenter failed to read the post beyond the third sentence. This comment ends with a recommendation that the author “do some research” or “read a book”.
This comment accuses the original poster of trying to re-start a previous online controversy completely overlooked by every single denizen of Earth not a member of an online niche community which was denoted by a word to which the suffix “-fail” was appended followed by the year of the controversy.
This post claims that the original post was written in an attempt to troll the internet, as no one could genuinely hold such silly beliefs.
This comment castigates the blogger by irrelevantly insulting his/her gender and the fact that he/she is sexual in some way.
This post is only tangentially related to the original post or the thread so far, but links to an awesome song.
This comment scolds another commenter for being a troll. It is followed by self-preening and mockery of said other commenter.
This comment takes a secondary point of the original post and responds by pointing out that someone who shares the author’s point of view once said something similar to a thing the author has criticized, implying the author’s entire essay is invalidated.
This comment is authored by an anonymous author who would like to point out that this is all Obama’s fault.
This comment contains one or more irrelevant Bible quotes.
This comment explains how an open source software product, or methodology would completely negate the thesis of the post, and how the author is somehow less that competent for not understanding this in advance.
This comment deplores the low quality of discussion and criticism in this comment thread, making fun of at least one other commenter by his or her handle (“placed in sarcastic quotes for no apparent reason”), then goes on to re-state what this commenter mistakenly presumes is the intended argument of the post in a very pedantic fashion.
This comment blames either the Rethuglicans or the Democraps for the whole mess.
This comment would like to assert without any backing evidence whatsoever that the post author is [insert slur for homosexual here] simply because this commenter does not agree with the post author and is unable to articulate a cogent argument, let alone a coherent sentence.
This comment is not shown due to negative ratings.
This comment laments that D-Dave made word-for-word the exact same comment that this author intended to make, believing it to be Highly Unique and Witty.
This comment angrily claims that a previous comment of his has been censored.
This comment is a serious warning that you will all be sorry someday if you don’t repent (for your eternal souls’ sake) and will probably do so on your death beds (just like Charles Darwin).
This comment is by a friendly, yet lonely, internet stalker looking for a sense of community and verification, knows that the blog poster would really like him(her0 if they ever had a chance to me.
agrees with everything the poster has ever said, wrote, wrote or thought.
This post posits the factually deficient notion that anyone who pisses all sides off must be doing something right.
This comment is to correct appalling errors made in previous comment.
This comment is made with the sole purpose of sucking up to another commenter.
This comment is in vehement support of a comment I made previously that everyone is disparaging.
I have changed the handle so (despite common spelling errors and grammar) it might appear that I am someone completely different, that others think I am sane, share my extreme opinion and I should be listened to.
Reference will also be made to a widely discredited nutjob in the public eye that also advocates the same. Said “celebrity” is only infamous from media and internet reports of their whackiness, ridicule by peers etc.
The “celebrity”, the original commenter and the writer of this comment are possibly all the same person.
This comment by the original post author takes vague issue with statements by a number of the above commenters and includes a clumsily worded nonchalant link to the unrelated book he is trying to promote.
This comment betrays the fact that the commenter couldn’t be bothered to read any of the foregoing comments and engages in several points of petty criticism relating to the original blog post each of which have already been refuted ten times over in the course of the discussion.
Contrary to all the previous comments I contradict everything for the sake of being contrary, because contrariness seems to be the new form of commenting on blogs, probably contrary to popular opinion.
This comment is bad haiku.
This comment ends with a random string of animated smilies.
This sentence attempts to be witty, but due to the commenters lack of understanding of any of the issues involved, this sentence is merely irrelevant.
This comment is insightful, but no one bothers to read this far.
. <——Notice the period.
Realizing he now looks like a total prat, he grouses in a later comment about how there needs to be an edit function when it’s clear as day there is a preview button next to the submit.
This comment presumes to know the political inclinations, gender identity, secret culinary cravings and DNA sequence of the poster and finds them all reprehensible. It then urges right-minded fellow commenters to storm Heaven for the sake of condemning the poster and wrong-minded “fellow” commenters to the eternal torment of being prodded with pointy things. Then it says “Poop” just for kicks.
This comment accurately rebuts the weak claims of the original post; the author of this comment does not realize that every intelligent reader already understands the weakness of the original post, nor does he realize those unable to grasp its weakness are not intelligent enough to understand the rebuttal.
This comment is in and of itself the location of the WMD. And more tangentially, the entrance to bin Laden’s cave and the indicator light of Bush’s Self-Doubt.
This comment includes an irrelevant link to the commenter’s own blog, with a strained attempt to make it seem relevant.
This comment reiterates, at far greater length and less clarity, a point made higher in the thread.
This comment is actually comment spam, and includes a vague compliment to the author, then a link to some other unrelated website.
This comment is a pretext to try to get readers to click on a link to the comment’s author’s own blog.
This comment makes reference to the beautiful wallpaper and asks where can eye has me some.
This comment is a double post.
This comment is a double post.
This comment contradicts all previous comments and refutes claims of #176 that the wallpaper is based upon a logical fallacy and needs to see some critical science-based evidence for any such future claims.
This comment claims evolution, global warming and evidence based medicine are all falsified by Newton’s Second Law of Thermodymanics.
This comment makes reference to some obscure meme that only the first 20 people who registered on this message board would possibly understand.
The last bus to the train station left fnord at 4:30 and darkness is completely unacceptable.
This comment asks with passionate zeal about the many groups, causes, and issues that are completely unrelated to the original post.
This comment is a long, snarky response to an irrelevant comment made above. Fortunately, both are so far down the comments list that neither will ever be read.
This comment repeats a point somebody made some ten or so posts ago.
This comment indicates the realization that another poster actually made that point already and apologizes profusely for wasting the time of anyone reading this far.
This comment takes umbrage at the excessively poor comment moderation and violates many of the cardinal rules of the blog while doing so.
This comment claims that the author is absolutely right and includes a link said to support this point which in fact redirects anyone who clicks on it to a disturbing image or shock site.
This comment comes to the party too late, after everyone else has moved on to the next outrage storm in the blogospheric kettle!
This obscenity comment expletives all over the obscenity expletive, and it expletives an obscenity expletive unprintable to expletive obscenity censored.
This comment wants to know WHAT ABOUT TEH MENZ?!

This comment is sexually charged, and directed at the most prolific commenter. It also references a Monty Python skit.
This comment merely proves that I was here. It’s a form of graffiti, really.
This comment is totally gay.
This sentence is a plea for civility combined with a desire that people were more careful with their arguments, arguing that even though the author has a position similar to one of the sides of the argument, the points made by that side (and the others) were not careful enough, unnecessarily inflammatory, and made it hard to convince new people of that position.
This comment castigates the blog owner for not writing about some other urgent matter.
This comment echoes this sentiment, and expresses outrage at the fact that people are wasting their time talking about the original subject of the post when people are dying in Darfur.
This comment by the author apologizes for the lack of trigger warnings in the post, and contains a promise to be more sensitive in the future to readers who have been triggered by some trigger.
This comment praises the author’s airtight reasoning, unyielding stance and harsh criticisms, and wonders how anyone could possibly be obtuse enough to disagree.
This comment repeats a point somebody made some ten or so posts ago.
This comment informs all readers that they have just lost the game.
This animadversion employs sesquipedalian loquaciousness to excoriate a previous commenter with unctuous condescension for the purpose of disseminating the cognizance of this commenter’s relatively superior intellect.
(This paranthetical addendum apologizes for possibly using too many big words in the main body of the comment, but is really an exercise in false modesty meant to emphasize the impact of same.)
This comment is just to say that the commentator is just too busy right now but promises to be back later to provide the first really insightful comment on the subject (but never does).
This comment apologizes for interrupting, but there is some breaking news over at some link that would apparently be of interest to the blog owner if he had not just put up a new blog post about it three hours ago.
This comment has been deleted by a blog administrator and is way more interesting than the original comment that has been deleted due to a lengthy explanation detailing why the comment required deletion in the first place and concluding with calling the deleted commenter a hideous arse-candle.
This comment is by a trolling Jehova’s Witness who is filled with brotherly love for all the other commenters, but knows without meeting any of them that they all deserve to burn in hell forever. Fortunately, anyone willing to read this far is already jaded from way too much time spent reading comments.
This comment rebukes the blogger for not saying what the commenter himself/ herself would have said on the topic.
This comment says “Me, too,” without clearly stating whether it’s expressing agreement with the original post or a previous comment, and if the latter, which one.
This comment makes a labored sexual pun based on the title of the post.
This comment apologizes for commenting too many times at once.
This comment begins “I am shocked and horrified,” contains several terse statements of staggeringly banal outrage, each followed by multiple exclamation points, and ends “If these are the kinds of things you write here, I am sure I need never come here again!!”
This comment is a clumsy legal threat.
This post simply says the original poster an idiot he’s obviously a “LIEberal” a “libtard” or “left wing fuckwad,” even though the original post made no allusion to political party or even to any political issue whatsoever.
This post points out that this writer’s earlier post was obviously written in haste and the proofreading was really freaking bad.
This comment agrees with the previous poster and suggests using the “Preview” button before the “Submit” button.
This comment expresses a preference to burning in hell over being indoctrinated into a messianic death cult.It also makes a tangential reference to pedophilic priests.
This comment evinces the fact that there is nothing quite as pretentious as a Christian in regards to his soul.
This comment is made by a bot advertising a porn site masquerading as a dating site and may contain buzzwords generated by the topic of the post to make it seem vaguely relevant.
This comment agrees with the author semi-fraudulently in order to segway onto an essentially unrelated topic which, while correct and important in its own right, makes everyone hate, despise, and/or pity the comment’s author.
This comment repeats a genuinely witty one made near the top of the thread and makes it clear the author would have posted it first if they didn’t have a very busy life. The implication is made explicit when the final sentence accuses everyone on the thread of being a looser.
This comment accusing the author of being a closet socialist got stuck in the moderation queue because you can’t spell “socialism” without C-I-A-L-I-S.
expletive goes here
This is the theme to Gary Shandling’s show.

This comment was not made, as the commenter is lurking
This comment is by a lurker who had nothing of substance to add to the conversation and then ended up talking about himself.
This comment makes a banal appeal for amity and civility of discourse, whereupon the comment author is immediately castigated as a concern troll.
This comment is used to post a LOLCat, ORLY Owl or some other form of internet meme.
This commenter says “First Post!” and then fails to provide any meaningful commentary on the article.
There is a 50:50 chance that someone else beats commenter to the actual first post ... thus making commenter look like a moran in addition to being a jackass.
This is a ping back.
Hay guys! HAs any1 mentioned the FIRST POST meme yet?
This comment leaves a link to the commenter’s blog in a vain attempt to improve SEO Rankings. It also uses a strange anchor tag to accomplish this.
this comment has been removed by the author
This comment is definitely NOT a bookmark
I would just like to repeat one of the comments near the middle of the ‘Comments’ section, demonstrating that I did not read all of the comments before thinking of something ‘witty’ to add to the conversation—which had, in fact already been added (the wittiness of which was subject to debate… see above)
This comment has been posted many times before and you’re annoyed to be reading it again.
This comment cites an irrelevant 4chan meme
This sentence contains a vague understanding of the original post and iterates multiple offenses contained within the responses beneath the original post. This sentence contradicts what was said in the previous sentence making it’s author look foolish. This sentence declares that it’s author is in the know and his insight is impeccable. This sentence makes it’s author look foolish, again.
This comment links to an Internet poll that has nothing to do with the topic of the original post, but which the commenter hopes the blogger will create a separate post about, linking to the poll and encouraging readers to crash it.
This comments just expresses gratefulness for the blogpost’s author’s ability to be creative.
{{{ just wondering if anybody actually scrolled up to see the ‘debate’?? }}}
This is not a comment. This is the mother fucking decoy.
This comment generally agrees with the opinion of the blog but is concerned with the author’s tone.
This comment is three times longer than the post it is commenting on, and is at best, only tangentially related to the post.
The middle of this comment is a long, rambling, incoherent poem that makes no sense whatsoever and isn’t really the least bit poetic.
The author of this comment concludes the comment with a statement that he is sure will convince everyone that he is a wittier writer than Mark Twain. The commenter is sure that the comment will generate massive amounts of traffic to his own blog, but in reality his concluding statement merely makes the few people who actually read the entire comment question the commenter’s sanity and grasp on reality.
The author of this comment also spent so much time writing it without refreshing the page before posting, that all of his points were refuted by other commenters while he was composing it.
The author of this comment thinks the commenters supporting the post author are indeed a sad lot and feels sorry for them and hopes they are happy with their pathetic, petty little lives and vows never to return to this blog. Goodbye.
Wow. This is one of the most interesting things I have read on the net in a long time. Are we all really this boring?
This comment responds enthusiastically to the blog post, also appreciating the
self-referential zoo of comments spawned by the post, comments
not unlike this one, even though, of course, this comment is unlike
the other comments in that it is really a meta-comment on the other
comments, descriptive of all comments of this kind, but not actually a
comment of this kind itself - or is it?
This comment asks a genuinally meaningful and insiteful question regarding the blog post that is eventually never answered.
This is a Rickroll.

This comment is a 600-word logical fallacy, that attempts to assert expertise of the commenter upon the author, but instead shows that the commenter got all the information from Wikipedia and conspiracy theory websites.
This is Sparta!
Also, these stairs go up.
This is a comment, completely unrelated to the OP in any way whatsoever, complaining about no LAN play in Diablo 3.
This comment relates a rambling anecdote from this distant past of the commenter, sparked by the original post, but only superficially related to it. The anecdote will conclude without supporting or opposing the original thesis, and will sport a two-word addendum:
Good times!
This comment points out that a previous comment is copied from an 18th century travelogue and wonders why everyone didn’t notice.
Emitting a vocal expulsion of air conveying mirth in a manner in which the decibel level of aforementioned expulsions are clearly audible to others.
This comment is for James and the answer is a resounding yes.
This comment makes reference to a beverage of some kind exiting an oriface in the reader’s face due to surprise and/or laughter.
This comment recommends that a previous commenter really needs to read Original Blog Topic 101 before annoying the other commenters with newbie comments.
The author of this post beseeches those who will read it to consider that there is no spoon. This post is the first post in reply to the above article.
This comment attempts to defuse a flame war in progress by linking to a site featuring pictures of baby felid mammals with phrases with odd spelling and peculiar grammar superimposed on them.
It includes an exhortation to observe the infant mammals, spelling the name of said mammals in a way meant to hip and humorous.
This comment wishes to appear clever and uses an illustration of ceiling cat followed by grammatical errors written on purpose using phrases such as “I haz” and “OM nom nom”.
This comment expresses annoyance that someone beat the commenter to the irrelevant and deceptive link to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
This comment contains the words “Ron Paul” in a large font, bold, center justified and all caps.
This comment is a bland, generalized compliment of the quality of the blog. The commenter name is linked to a website for an ethically-gray product or service.
This comment indicates there were too many comments to read, but the comment author will read them later. This comment indicates that the comment author only read the post title.
This comment indicates the comment author believes the above quote is a “take that you dumbasses” quote without realizing it is totally irrelevant and transparently wrong.
This spam comment attempts to link people to an ethically-gray product or service with BB code instead of HTML.
This comment wanders aimlessly for while, both agreeing and disagreeing with the thesis of the OP, before the commenter finally decides that it really doesn’t matter, and who cares anyway? Finally, it is clear that the commenter really just wanted to post so that a few people might click through to the commenter’s own blog. But said commenter wanted to appear to be joining in the conversation, so as not to be rude. Unfortunately, only two people end up clicking through to the commenter’s own blog, and leave after approximately 0.23 seconds when they see that it hasn’t been updated in weeks.
this comment recognizes that what the author was trying to say can be completely summed up by a particular xkcd comic and posts a link [or doesn’t]
This comment furiously demands to know why you censored me by deleting my first comment exposing the original poster’s lies, and states that this blog sucks because it doesn’t allow dissenting opinion…
Even though my first comment IS visible, and if I looked a second time I’d clearly see it.
This comment consists of a highly offended *flounce* from the thread, followed shortly thereafter by a quiet return under a new user name.
This comment exhorts all the other commenters to please think of the children.
This comment originally appeared in Chinese characters:
Have you ever wondered if there truly was a product out there that could increase your penis size? X4 Labs has spent the last 10 years pursuing the development of an effective medical product that can permanently add inches to your penis. The results of our findings have led to the development of the penis extender, a doctor recommended and clinically proven penis enlargement method.
Unlike other products which can provide temporary results, the X4 Labs penis extender is guaranteed to add 2 to 3 inches, permanently! It has been proven in independent clinical trials to increase penis length by 33% and girth by 35%, meaning youll have a longer, wider, and bigger penis. Dont spend time and money on risky surgical procedures and other products, when you can safely and naturally and permanently make your penis bigger.
X4 Labs has created the only penis extender to be used by doctors and urologists in the United States, Canada, and Europe. This means that you can rest assured that you are buying a quality medical device that is made in North America. Having been CE Certified as a Class 1 Medical Device, the penis extender is also 100% safe with no harmful side effects.
This comment degrades the entire conversation by comparing the opinions of various posters to the political ideals of the Nazis. The comment is phrased such that it drags the entire blog article into such a low state of repute that any comments following it will be nothing more than hate speech.
This post invokes Godwin’s Law. Really, it does.
This comment was intended to be read immediately after another comment but was submitted 1 second too late and is now placed under another comment that renders it completely ineffectual and confusing to the casual reader.
This comment will insults the inteligance of the either the author or other commenters. But it will contane spelling and gramaticle errors, showing a 3rd grade education.
This comment takes the very general and broadly aimed critical comments of the post to be a personal attack on the commenter, even though the commenter’s position on the matter at hand is unknown because he is a person of absolutely no importance whatsoever in this or any other field. Having expressed the commenter’s umbrage at length, the comment then talks about how the commenter personally knows some Very Important People from his days attending A Very Well-Known Prep School, and claims both authority-by-association as well as special “insider” knowledge about the topic of the blog post from his association with these Very Important People - which of course is asserted by the commenter to demonstrate the utter wrongness of the blog post, even though the VIPs are wholly irrelevant to the subject of the post - while simultaneously insinuating that these Very Important People can make life uncomfortable for the blogger if he should persist in attacking this commenter (which the blogger did not, but is bound to after this). This comment performs all these bizarre twists with maximum verbosity and pomposity - language which, while phrased in perfectly clear and grammatical English, has a decided air of schizophrenic “word salad” about it when one considers the actual content and context.
In all, the comment is a wide-open invitation to extensive mockery by both other commenters and the blogger. Such mockery will drive the commenter to even great heights of apoplectic umbrage, culminating in threats to sue the blogger for bizarrely unrelated damages.
THIS COMMENT IS MISSPELLED, ATTACKS THE AUTHOR’S SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AND IS IN CAPS.
This comment makes absolutely no sense as the submitter has attempted to type in “leet speak” with absolutely no idea how, and an even greater ignorance of the English language as a whole.
Hey I thought your post was fun.
This post incoherently links to the topic at hand tangentially, is sprinkled with anti-semetic commentary, and ultimately finds a completely non-sequitur excuse to rant about the coming New World Order.
This comment uses the word ‘loose’ as in ’ I don’t want to loose my keys’ and then inexplicably uses ‘lose’ as in ‘my trousers are to lose’
What’s up with that?
This comment also uses the internet acronym ROFL.
This comment acknowledges Sod’s first law of commenting, where, when pointing out any spelling errors, the commenter makes a spelling error.
This comment also corrects the previous comment ‘too lose’ .
Balls.
This comment siezes on any given fragment of the post or later comments to clumsily segue into 9/11 conspiracy theories. Fully half the words in this comment are 9/11, New World Order, Building 7, Jews, Fremasons, Neocons, explosives, CIA, FBI, FEMA, Bush and the name of some utterly obscure but somehow vitally important government officer.
This comment ends with an all caps exhortation to OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH!!!
This comment is in answer to one of the first comments, oblivious to the fact that the topic has already been discussed to death in the following commenters.
...this comment laments the speeling error in the previous comment, and tries to reassure everybody that the commenter isn’t really this stupid. :/

This comment advertises a online company that can provide you with dubious sex-enhancing drugs and post-grad degrees.
This smug comment is from England where we are so much more mature about these things.
Agrees violently with a previous comment which damns the original post.
Contains spelling errors and grammatical errors identical to those of the commenter it is agreeing with.
This commenter is sure the meta-wording of the post was just a clever way to attack a group of people she considers herself part of, because she just read an incendiary blog post of another member of this group, and SHE HAPPENED TO ENTIRELY AGREE WITH IT.
Has this commenter entered meta-meta-realms?
Agrees violently with that same previous comment which damns the original post. Attacks commenters who have flamed the author of the comment, or who have disagreed with “sockpuppet”.
Contains spelling and grammatical errors identical to those in the comment the commenter is agreeing with, and in the comment of “sockpuppet”.
Baits “sockpuppet” and “sonofsockpuppet” by being snarky about the comment they are defending.
This comment informs the blogger that a letter has been sent to the blogger’s employer, demanding the blogger be fired forthwith for contaminating and bringing ignominy upon the employer and place of employment!!
Attacks “flamingtroll”. Gets way off topic. Exhibits signs of paranoia, accuses everyone of conspiring against them like they always do. Makes spelling and grammatical errors identical to those of “sockpuppet” and “sonofsockpuppet”.
Denies being a sockpuppet.
This comment attempts to refute the original post and ends up supporting it.

This comment states that the commenter is an incendiary blog poster, and therefore he is really getting a kick out of these replies!
This comment is a long and rambling spiel on a throw-away line from the original post.
This comment is a note to tell the post author the comment author came from a blog post written by a fellow with a name close to OY Lxdqr
This sentence meekly suggests that perhaps the original author should have acknowledged the short story by David Moser from which he stole his idea. This sentence informs readers that if they take a look at http://consc.net/misc/moser.html they will find the original. This sentence remarks on the irony of the word “original” in the first sentence of this comment. This sentence remarks that, just as in Chris’s piece, this comment’s self-reference is largely confined to the single device of rewriting each sentence in the form “This sentence does X”.
This paragraph attempts to mitigate the rudeness of the previous paragraph by observing that despite the unacknowledged borrowing to which that paragraph drew attention, Chris’s piece is in fact very funny, and speculates that perhaps Chris’s readers are sufficiently erudite that Chris could just safely assume that everyone here was already familiar with Moser’s piece.
And this paragraph exists only in order to apologize for the fact that the previous two paragraphs, although they have roughly the right self-referential form, entirely fail to continue the joke by following the pattern of a typical online argument. This sentence points out that its author’s negligence in this regard clearly demonstrates that he is an America-Hating Obamaniacal Liberal, and ironically inquires whether he is also in favour of Death Palins, er, Panels. This sentence wonders whether perhaps bringing US healthcare into the argument is a step too far and it would have been better to stick with less incendiary topics such as homosexuality, abortion and the existence of God, before dismissing the question with the words “ah, screw it”.
This comment says the same thing as a previous comment by another commentor, proving this commentor did not read any of the previous comments.
This comment was placed as a means to build a link to a completely unrelated website, and has absolutely nothing to do with the original post, therefore, it can and should be deemed as spam by the original post author.
This comment encourages other readers to support the blog author’s book he shamelessly promoted in an earlier post by writing positive reviews, in the third person of course. This is not a sentence, but two punctuation marks which, if you turn your head counter-clockwise, resembles a positive facial expression.
This post expresses alarm at the number of comments!
NINJA COMMENT !
This comment admits not having read all the comments, but makes a point that has been made many times over already anyway.
This comment criticizes everyone else for being ill-informed and then cites Wikipedia in support of its own position.
This comment is a lament about having checked the “notify of follow-up comments” box and the resulting FLOOD of comment mail in my inbox!
This comment no verb.
This comment states that this comment is the only one addressing properly the issues raised by the post but it also quotes the forty comment from start as an example to follow on commenting such issues.
This comment calls the female author of an earlier comment ‘fat’.

This comment makes brief reference to the topic of the post before going on to observe, incoherently and at some length, that WTC7 fell down even though it wasn’t hit by a plane.
This comment serves as a fond reminiscence of being part of the first, longest, meta-thread ever, and expresses a wish that the poster could remember the URL or even the name of the blog where it happened.
This comment attacks the original posting for mis-using the word “irony” and then makes fun of Alanis Morriset.
This author has been deleted by the comment.
This post is a totally off-topic request for technical support with a random software package. It is written in lower case text message language, and the author is unlikely to return to read replies. If the author should be politely asked to go to a more appropriate forum, his reply will be “kk but u help me?????????”
This is where a lurker links the original incendiary blog post to their Facebook page so that their friends can share the same sense of outrage against or in support of the OP
This comment provides a general aggreement to the authors thoughts however in actuality it reflects only that the person making the comment wants in some way to ‘identify’ with the author.
:) <—- This emoticon is meant to backup the light-heartedness of the comment.
This commenter claims to have a degree in/teach the subject of the post, and then goes on to display a basic misunderstanding of the field.
This sentence refers to the sexual orientation and/or prowess of the author’s mother. (Nothing but the highest regard, obviously.)
This comment gushes about how wonderful this blog is. It notes how the commenter has gone through the entire blog history in one day, and is now recommending the blogger to all his friends.
This comment blames the issue at hand on a government/anti-semitic conspiracy in which any politician (even Obama!) is clearly a part, despite any explicit or implicit suggestion of culpability by the author.
Wake up sheeple!
By the time comments are way down at this level, they have nothing at all to do with the original post, posts related to the original post, or posts related to related posts.
This comment is enjoying the joke and just wants to join in.

This comment hopes the following comments respond to it’s clever observation, only to return later and be disappointed that it was ignored.
This comment’s author apologises for being ‘late to the party’ but has nothing significant to add anyway, then ends with an embedded smiley that doesn’t work. :sad:
This comment will self-destruct in 10 seconds.
This comment contains the reference to Hitler that inevitably appears somewhere in long threads.
The following comment is false.
This comment is from a smug and self-rightious Canadian expressing feigned surprise at the backwardness of the US. It deliberately employs words using superfluous “u"s in order to distinguish the author from her neighbours to the South.
/in this slashie, the author asks if everyone sees what she did there.
The preceding comment is true.
This comment is a further attempt to ingratiate the author with the blogger. Having cosied up since post #1 of his old blog, the comment’s author is so far up the blogger that daylight is but a distant memory. Jaws drop as he/she explores new depths beneath which to scrape.
This commenter is likely to have read the OP when it appeared; however, typing while breast-feeding an infant exceeds the limit of her motor skills. She finally posts her own Hilarious Comment long after everyone, especially the OP’s author, has moved on. It’s likely to be some random anecdote about the crank-magnetism of the vaccine deniers.
She hopes that her pith will hook others into checking out her own blog. She desperately hopes that one guy, who went on at great length about how planes couldn’t possibly bring down a building, will have missed it.
This comment repeats a previous comment almost word-for-word, authored by a reader who spent the time to read the original topic, but is too lazy to read through the mass of previous comments that now dwarfs the size of the original topic.
This post consists of two to three words followed by a giant signature made up of pointless text and images. The signature is at least 600% larger than any post the user would make, and includes symbols indicating their political/religious allegiance, “funny” memes, favourite anime characters, and a banner for each of their Warcraft characters.
The author is aware that some forums offer the ability to ignore signatures, so they manually copy and paste this ugly collection of crap in to each post they make.
This comment argues that the comment writer’s opinions are superior to all other opinions expressed in the blog or in the comments, yet it is clear that this commenter has read neither.
This comment reveals that the author hasn’t bothered to read any of the preceding comments.
This comment is my pathetic attempt to show I actually existed in this world. It is my legacy.
This comment is nothing more than thinly sliced canned lunch meat mentioning where to buy replicas, drugs, join class action lawsuits, and find the sugar daddy of your dreams. This comment also contains ascii characters that don’t show up on many browsers and links that lead to sites containing malware and viruses. This comment was written using a third rate most populared glory chinese to english translation software.
This is a comment to confirm a link from a completely unrelated blog who extends kudos to the author for a insightful and/or courageous post for boldly standing up to the SYSTEM, but stops short of recommending anarchy or violence.
This comment sincerely and foolishly attempts to reconcile and mediate all sides of the question. The commenter is subsequently flamed by all parties using any number of slurs, many of them unintelligible and incomprehensible to the commenter who then understands clearly why they should not reply to blogs.
This post will be deleted soon.
This comment at first appears to be a simple congratulation of the author’s perspicacity and wit. The second sentence, however, starts to raise suspicions about the comment author’s true intent. This sentence suggests that people who enjoy the perspicacity and wit of the blog author may also enjoy the perspicacity and wit of the comment author, who is much less well-known in the blogosphere.
This sentence contains a reference to the comment author’s blog, the title of which will hold no clue as the contents of the blog in question, for example “Mote Prime”. This sentence suggests that the blog author, other commenters and readers in general may enjoy the contents of the much less well known blog.
This sentence anticipates the reaction of readers to the less-well-known blog with poorly-executed self-deprecatory humour. This sentence acknowledges the spelling difference between different locales, evident in the previous sentence.
This is a concern troll post. The author expresses that he has not yet formed any opinion on the post topic and certainly isn’t opposed to the ideas expressed in the post but asks questions feigning concern about certain points in the post that totally betray the fact that the comment author is a hard core, true believer fundamentalist completely opposed to the ideas expressed in the post.
This comment was posted by someone who obviously has not read any of the other comments, and simple repeats what has already been said at least 10 times in other comments.
ironically this might be true - I didn’t have the time to read through all the comments LOL
This comment contains a witty comment referencing an internet meme that is at least three years old.
This comment repeats a previous comment almost word-for-word, authored by a reader who spent the time to read the original topic, but is too lazy to read through the mass of previous comments that now dwarfs the size of the original topic.
This comment is simply a “me too” which does not further the discussion in any way but does unnecessarily quote back the entire preceding comment.
This comment congratulates the blogger for having enough traffic to attract the attention of the spammers, without realizing that comment spam is automated now, and can appear on any blog regardless of how much traffic it may or may not have.

This comment laments the lack of any facility for editing previous comments, and asks the blogger to perform some correction to this commenter’s previous comment.

This comment was obviously left by someone who didn’t bother to read the OP but thought it was funny that all the comments were obviously edited by the author in a mocking way.
This comment is self-serving left by a commenter who hasn’t read all of the previous comments.
This comment has nothing to do with the blog post or the previous comments ond only serves the author to see his/her username on the internet
The following comment is untrue.
The previous comment is true.
This comment prefaces its racism with “i’m not racist, but…”
This comment expresses overblown and nauseatingly sycophantic sentiments about the “courage” of the poster in posting the post.
This comment makes ironical reference to all comments previous, suggesting that this poster is above such things while still indulging in them.
This is comment which adds nothing and has been posted several times above.

This comment apologizes for including a link to the wrong blog in a previous comment and attempts to correct it but misspells the URL
This comment apologizes for the previous misspelling, includes the corrected URL but cannot recollect why they included the link in the first place.
Never before have so many insightful observations been made about the reams of ridiculousness put forth in the name of blogging.
This comment is 5 characters long, and exists only to state that the length of the OP and thread precluded this visitor’s reading of said post.
This comment makes remarks about how much fun they are having in the comments section.
this comment contains a nominally on-topic response and a (censored) url directing you to a site promising low-cost v1agr4 and c1al1s. really. cheap.
This comment apologizes for commenting so much and for having fun in what should be a serious forum. This is followed by a series of characters which, when looked at sideways indicate a sad expression.
This comment begins with the words “This Comment” because anyone still reading posts at this point is obviously incapable of ignoring the ploy. It then goes on to make a futile disclaimer as to the suspected inanity of this post due to the fact that it’s author is woefully oblivious to the fact that no further wit in this vein is possible and is likely to be promptly provided with a derogatory adjective for himself below.
This comment knows this blog is going to be read by a lot of people, but that this comment is not. This comment knows google will be tracking this blog and noting it is being read a lot. This comment wants to get a URL in on the trackback action and as soon as this comment is done, will be posting a link to this blog via Twitter.
Awesome X
This post needs editing.
This comment begins as a slightly overzealous endorsement of the original post, indicating a lack of full comprehension of the subject at hand, and/or a slightly disturbing lack of critical thinking skills, complete with an excessive number of exclamation points. This sentence latches on to one of the more divisive or racist aspects of the original post, and takes it to an extreme to which the author never intended. This sentence continues on the theme of the previous one, to an extent that makes many readers uncomfortable when they realize that by supporting the original post’s idea, they are tacitly endorsing this commenter’s views as well.
This follow-up descends into hateful, racist and bigoted language, including highly offensive slurs not commonly used, belying the deep and troubling mental issues for which this commenter is clearly not seeking help, and which will be used by some other commenters to disregard this endorsement of the original post, despite the fact that the conclusions drawn here do actually follow logically from the original poster’s statements, even though almost no one who agrees with the original post is willing to admit it, even to themselves.
This comment was made solely to tax the original poster’s server bandwidth even more, thus increasing his hosting fees by another penny to punish him for his irresponsible, reprehensible, and frankly evil post.
This comment expresses the realization that this same OP was posted on this same blog 6 months ago and a similar comment thread appeared at that time. This is followed by a link to that post.
This comment believes it is very funny and makes sure readers know this by putting LOL after every sentence. LOL! Because no one ever does that on the internet, LOL!
C’est n’est pas un comment.
This comment invokes a comparison with Hilter, which should terminate all rational discussion.
Unfortunately, due to the mad rage of the comment creator, Hitler was misspelled, rsulting in a multitude of follow on comments noting that shameful fact.
This comment introduces me as new to this site, and says hello. This sentence makes it clear that the commenter has read neither the original blog nor the comments that came before this one.
SIWOTI! No idea exactly what or where.
This comment attempts to elicit a few LOLs by referring to an MST3K remark made by Tom Servo or possibly Crow which has a tenuous connection to the original blog post’s subject.
This comment begins with the self-congratulatory observation that the commenter has “come over from” highly-trafficked blog. [Editor of OP- As if anyone cares, dude] It is further implied that the author should be flattered. This sentence contains the commenter’s belated realization that the OP criticizes an observation of highly-trafficked blog. This sentence conveys OUTRAGE11!!!!!111. This sentence is the written equivalent of spittle. [Editor of OP- get a grip] This sentence observes that the only possible point of the OP was to “raise traffic” from highly-trafficked blog. This sentence questions the author’s parentage and accuses the author of a sexual preference for barnyard animals. This sentence specifies Caprinae and provides a helpful illustrative link. Ths sntnc hs bn dsmvlld.
This sentence defines the prefix meta- in 3 different ways. This sentence then begins a long series of sentences on meta-analysis of the OP and preceding comments. The meta- prefix is used at least 9 different ways.
This sentence defines the prefix psycho- in 5 different ways. This sentence then begins a long series of sentences on psycho-analysis of the OP’s author and the authors of all preceding comments. The psycho- prefix is used 11 different ways.
This sentence is an admission that the author of this comment is a dictionary editor.
This comment mentions a tangentially related South Park episode and the halfass moralizing at the end that therefore leads us to conclude “the truth is probably somewhere in the middle,” while also implying the commenter’s entire moral system stems entirely from an animated show on a comedy network.
This comment attempt to claim #300 spot but just misses.
This comment attempts to claim #300 spot but just misses.
This comment attempts to discredit the OP based on incorrectly identified spelling and grammatical errors.
This comment is an angry diatribe against the commenter who STOLE the #300 spot.
This sentence employs two a’s, two c’s, two d’s, twenty-eight e’s, five f’s, three g’s, eight h’s, eleven i’s, three l’s, two m’s, thirteen n’s, nine o’s, two p’s, five r’s, twenty-five s’s, twenty-three t’s, six v’s, ten w’s, two x’s, five y’s, and one z.
This comment claims that the commenter doesn’t even see colour, so cannot be racist. It then goes on to claim that it is the people who notice different treatment who are the racists.
This comment identifies Hitler as being essentially identical to the writer’s political opponents, which gathers acclaim and wins the argument, but only if the commenter is a member of a political party different than the reader’s.
And, in a grammatically incorrect and largely incoherent sentence fragment, believes demolishes the OP because. Also.
This comment complains about the loss of comment on hitting back, after trying to submit without giving an email address.
This comment engages at length with the ideas of the post in comment #24. However, the original comment is now so far up the page (and the author of this comment appears unable to <BLOCKQUOTE> properly) so nobody knows what this commenter is actually talking about.
This comment attempts a clumsy ploy to flirt with the previous commenter.
This comment is made by someone who has never heard of Douglas Hofstadter and therefore believes what was done here has never been done before.
Some of this comment’s best friends are spam.

This comment accuses the blogger of being a hateful person for writing this blog post and not another. Suggests that any blog post not denouncing position A are supporting position A by default, even if there’s no evidence whatsoever to suggest that.
This comment takes umbrage at the use of a word that was in fact “ist” more than a century ago, but whose meaning has changed completely, to the point where 99.99% of uses of this word have no relationship to insulting a group of marginalized people, and .01% of its uses involve taking offense at it.
Like the kid who had to write a paper for school with the theme: What is courage? When he submitted is paper it only had one sentence: This is courage.
This comment, using pejoritive language strictly employed by the opponents of the author’s worldview, asserts unconvincingly that I once ardently shared the author’s worldview. However, due to recent events, and due to having “gornw up” and “experienced the real world” I’ve regretfully been forced to realize how misguided I was and now, hold the complete opposite view.
This comment asks why we can’t all just get along??!!!
This comment links some stellar scientific research that seems to conclusively settle the question, but will be ignored by everyone reading comments.
This is called a tumbleweed comment—coming in long after the party is over, is sent in vain, like running after a train that has already started moving off the platform. Its a complete waste of time. Don’t read this kind of comment.
This comment laments the fact that during the time it took to read the main post and all the comments, the number of comments have increased by a factor of eighty-eight, making it unlikely that anyone will ever read this comment, which is especially upsetting because this comment was made exclusively to send readers to the commenter’s own blog.
This comment refers to George Orwell in such a way as to reveal that the comment’s author has either never read Orwell or has only the most shallow understanding of his work. It then ends by quoting John Lennon, smugly.
This comment contains a .gif of Michael Jackson eating popcorn from the “Thriller” video to demonstrate that they are enjoying the drama and “lulz” this post and subsequent comments are bringing.

*BUMP*
This comment is an attempt to get in on the act, based only on the number of comments, come before,and though lousy and lacking in wit as fore mentioned comments, is in fact a desperate plea to be loved by all commentators
This comment relays the commenter’s complete disbelief in the amount of effort that has gone into this epic blog post about… blog posts.
This comment consists of the quoting of an extraordinarily long previous comment, adding only the text “+1” to the end
This comment is never gonna give you up. This comment is never gonna let you down. This comment is never gonna run around and desert you. This comment is never gonna make you cry. This comment is never gonna say goodbye. This comment is never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.
This is NOT a sentence
This is not a comment.
This is a demonstrative pronoun.
This comment states that while Mr Clarke’s integrity is exceeded only by his personal beauty and charm, his writing lacks wit and stridency: hence the B-.
This comment is because the commenter just read the comment posted right above his previous comment and he just realised he completely agrees with the sentiment of that comment and just had to post another comment to comment on how the commenter feels the same as the previous comment’s commenter.
This comment is written entirely from the commenter’s personal experience without taking on board the perspective author was writing from, thus entirely failing to connect with the article, whilst initially seeming to be about it. In it’s eagerness to push the commenter’s perspective, this comments frequently not only miss the particular angle of the author’s article, but often the tone, humour and indeed even the intended audience of the post which the commenter several comments later realises was not them.
This commenter loudly proclaims that this posting on this blog is why he is going to quit blogging forever.
This comment is casting pearls to swine.
An editor of a well known celebrity rag just rang me up to ask if I would care to comment further on Mr Clarke’s alleged personal beauty and charm. I informed him that I couldn’t possibly comment on that.
This comments laughs at all you Americans, while extolling some cartoonish virtues of the commenter’s home country.

This comment, of course, will not be coherent, because the comment’s creator has been off her meds for at least a month.
This comment tells the OP to get a real job, and suggests that smart people don’t read this blog anyway.
Erudite and entertaining.
This commenter notes that the word “this” appears just over 500 times on this web page, in a clever but rather pathetic attempt to add something to the discussion.
This post corrects the previous comment regarding an Internet in-joke:
It’s Brown-chicken Brown-cow.
This comment pats itself smugly on the back for recognizing that this is an Existential Flame War without the flame war.
This comment reflects the writer’s inflated ego by stating that the original blog post is of quality, but names other people that have written similar things in the past (which nobody has heard of and no one cares about) in order to feel superior.
This comment makes lengthy, incoherent threats to the blogger, and points out that goats are on fire.

This comment accuses several of the other commenters of being communist fascists.
This comment points out flaws and fallacies in the original post addressed earlier in the comments but this commenter was too lazy to read through to see.
This sentence makes some totally trivial addition to the previous comment.
This comment apologizes for following up to the commenter’s previous comments, while quoting them in toto.
This comment makes it all about ME!
This comment states that most likely the blog post’s image is photoshopped and that it can tell by looking at a few pixels and by having seen quite a few shops in its time.
i c wut u did thar.
this post offers the suggestion from a lofty distance that all previous posters have missed the point, without stating what that point is but nevertheless using long and complex sentence structures, and displaying a penchant for pedantic prose which, it’s assumed, will convey the size of the poster’s intellect and his/her capacity for filling space without reaching any point whatsoever, but at least (in his/her own mind) rising above the peculiarities of American colloquialism as suggested by the novels of John Grisham and other dwarves of the US literary monopoly at international airport bookstands.
Now, do you get the point?
This comment points out that the approach of making a meta post to critique the traditional structures found in blog discussions is something that has been done before:

This comment expresses surprise that the comments are still going on. This sentence also expresses surprise, this time that so few of the previous comments have strayed from the self-referential form suggested by the original article.
This somewhat racist comment suggests that most of the people not “playing the game” are Americans, whilst also missing the wider point that most of the commenters, on-topic or not, are American.
This comment was submitted at 1:44 pm, PST.
This comments links to a YouTube video of a Simpsons (Family Guy, Big Lebowski, etc.) clip that is vaguely related to the original post and points out the commenter’s sarcastic disdain for this sort of argument.

This comment attacks the time-management skills of all other commenters, claiming that it is clear that the other commenters are neglecting their jobs/children/spouse/partner/significant other/friends/pets/house/pile of laundry.
This commenter then details how they are able to read every single comment on this blog while they pay meticulous attention to any/all of the above, draws attention to one particular commenter and their number of comments, and then tells the singled out commenter that they feel “sorry” for them.

This comment ridicules the fact that you are using “X” blogging platform and strongly suggests that you switch to “Y” platform.
This is the thread that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends, some people started posting without knowing what it was, but now they keep on commenting and it’s just because…
This comment starts off by promising that they’ve read every single comment and compares the popularity of this blog with Some Famous Person and wishes that the OP could be as (in)famous as Michael Jackson/Michael Vick/John Edwards, though anyone who reads the comment feels the need to read it at least three times to discover if it truly has anything to do with the OP’s post, any recent comment, any meaningful comment, or even anything at all.
Unfortunately for all readers who read it even once, there was no relevance to anything at all outside of the commenter’s addled brain—something that should have been obvious by the complete lack of ability to spell simple words and to perform a grammar check.
This comment asks if it would be okay to post a link to this blog on the commenter’s blog though ordinarily, the commenter explains, he would just post it, but given the significance of this post and the true symbolism and feeling that went into it, he didn’t think it right to do so without permission from the OP. This sentence starts out looking like another insanely long-winded run-on sentence but suddenly stops making any sense at all because of obvious copy/paste errors the author made while thinking far too hard about his response.
This comment closes with a call for solidarity among the true believers and a surly dismissal to all who might oppose the beliefs of the OP, much less the OP’s right to express them.
This comment has spiraling 4 Corner 4-day Harmonic Quad Helix principle. Commenter is WISEST HUMAN, in phenomenological reality.
This sentence bitterly complains that the commenter’s previous comment was held for moderation on the suspicion of being spam. This sentence is where the commenter then takes back everything nice that was or might have been said about the OP in the previous comment and calls them several rude names, at least one of which was either made up on the spot or grotesquely misspelled. This final sentence furthers the rant and goes so far out into left field that it’s no longer possible to see if there was a point or not.
I haven’t read any of the comments or the post itself but I’d like to comment anyway. So, I’ll state some stuff about things not related to this post or any comments. Then I’ll put some stuff in here that others have already said. Then I’ll link it to my own blog, in hopes off sucking off some traffic to my blog. Maybe a dash of spam for flavor.
This comment was posted days or months after the original post having traveled here via Stumbleupon. It responds to the 6th post (as far the reader got to a page this long) knowing very well that noone will likely ever read, much less notice that this post was done. The commenter then hits Stumbleupon again, never to return.
Ceci n’est pas une pipe.
This comment totally misses the humor in a previous comment and rather condescendingly informs them that The Onion/Colbert Report are actually satire, not serious.
This poster hasn’t bothered to do anything except scan the article and ignore all other posts so they repeat points made in both without bringing anything new to the discussion.
This comment is not concerned with the discussion, nor does the author really understand the context of anything that has been written prior. However, the author finds the visual design of the OP’s blog pleasing and desirable, and wishes for the OP to email it to them, using an email address included unobfuscated in the comment body.
This comment quotes the entire original post because the commenter believes that no one is actually paying attention to the important message of the original post any more.
This comment goes on to report that if you take the first letter of each line of the original post, and translate those letters to ancient Hebrew, then convert them to their numerical equivalents, then you will see the that you have the precise coordinates for each of the stars in the original Mayan Zodiac. This comment does not explain why this matters. That should be self evident, if you care about the original topic.
This comment quotes far too much of the earlier comment, before saying “QFT.”
THIS IS A SENTENCE!!! THIS IS ALSO A SENTENCE!!!!!
This post references multiple other posts by time. Regardless of the fact that previous posters are looking for their name not the time they commented.
This comment is highly amused by some authors descent into unknowing self-parody.
This comment invokes unpopular military leaders of the past century, and then compares the poster and commentors to them.
This comment asks if you all have jobs.
This comment exists solely for irony.
This comment is the first of approximately ten to inform the OP that their article has been reproduced without permission on the website of a larger, commercial publication without attribution. The commenter offers the OP sincere, far reaching services in retribution, such as posting about the injustice to Twitter, andlaterretweeting.
This post describes how the poster came by this site for the first time today, and is looking forward to continuing reading the blog.
This sentence accuses the blog writer of political bias and employs gross generalizations and straw man logic to defend his argument without checking his facts for accuracy. This sentence unfavorably compares the blog writer to Hitler.
And this post is submitted because the poster forgot something in their comment, which, hoefully, is immediately above.
And this post is submitted to correct a typographical error in the previous post, and to apologize for the serial comments.
This comment declares loudly that the writer of this article must be a misogynist to have such an opinion. It then goes into a long rant about feminism, with several pokes about the author obviously having problems with his Mother. It also claims that anyone who disagrees with this comment must also be a chauvinistic pig and a misogynist. It will probably toss in the article’s obvious disdain for abortion and anything that allows a woman to control her own body, neglecting condoms and birth control pills and cervical caps and IUDs and any other form of birth control besides abortion. It will then toss out examples of rape and incest, and tie the whole comment together with a signature containing a link to a pro-feminism website and a vegan website.
And this post tells the reader, more not less, that it’s ok to get fired up over nothing because it is all ‘self-inflammatory’.
I can’t believe I read this far comment.
This post uses profanity and explicit language to make no point at all.
This sentence accuses anyone who agrees with the blog writer of drinking the Kool-Aid. This sentence congratulates its own commenter for having the courage to stand up to the intentionally exaggerated agenda of the blog writer. This sentence quotes a song lyric. This sentence remarks upon how true the hackneyed sentiment of the lyric is, and how the world would be a better place if we just took the lyric’s message to heart. This sentence condescendingly pities the blog writer for not getting it.
Number!
This comment no verb.
This comment starts by claiming not to have read all the comments, because the poster is much too busy for that, but then alludes to the post made by Big Sigh on 01/26 at 04:57 AM. Then it makes a point that has been made multiple times, and drags in an irrelevancy.
Then it beats the point to death in several paragraphs.
After reaching a disproportionately emotional peak considering the topic, the comment exclaims that a female commenter is a fat slut or a dried-up celibate.
this comment starts out discussing how meta this post is but then goes on to discuss how a meta comment discussing how a post is itself meta. this comment then discusses the implications of this in relation to the existence of god and then the comment slowly fades off as the point raised in the comment becomes too circular to expand on…
This comment is the space for a Your momma joke ...
This comment adds what you forgot to include in the last post.
This comment is from smirking after seeing how good what you wrote looks and it actually got posted.
This post never meta-comment it didn’t like!
This comment occurs hours after posting the original reply where no one has been offended by your first comment.
This comment has nothing to contribute to the discussion and posts this instead:

This post castigates “Smiley” for using “subtely” when he meant “subtly”, but is unsure whether to classify that as grammatical, spelling or typographical erring. The *poster*, however, is making the classical, internet flamewar-starting goof of misattribution.
The post continues, rambling interminably about irrelevancies under the mistaken, possibly half-correct, impression that they are witticisms of great originality and humour.
It then points to several barely literate “Wikipedia” articles on subjects tangentially related to something a post several months old mentioned, and offers proof that the Lemurian lizard-kings who defeated the Atlantean priest-kings do not live in flying saucers in the hole at the pole, but in the tunnel-cities under Tibet, which are *linked* to the Holes Under The Poles. So there.
And it blames the AGW/Planet X hoax on these Lemurians and their puppet agents in Washington and London.
Then the post wanders off to find the little blue one, little pink ones and odious green and yellow stripy ones which it thinks it has forgotten to take for the last week or so.
Meanwhile, “Stumpy”, “Smiley”, “Buff-girl2” and the Poster who *did* use “subtley” erroneously are dragged into a flamewar that devastates entire Usenet hierarchies.
No comment.
Comment by a random pre-teen who found the page by accident through Yahoo - “I like pie”
This comment is amazed that you forgot the most obvious example of whatever the post was about.
This comment has been made after careful reading of all the previous comments, and developing a feel for the views held by the majority of the previous commenters. Although this commenter does not personally hold the views expressed in this comment, it has been carefully crafted to elicit a flurry of indignant replies from others, who will be deliberately offended by this comment.
After the frequency and vehemence of these replies appears to have dwindled, a second comment, even more inflammatory than this one will be posted. This subsequent comment shall include speculations on the ancestry, personal habits, sexual preference, intelligence, and character of the commenters who respond to this comment. This commenter will consider himself to have been gloriously entertained if he can elicit threats of physical violence from one or more of the previous commenters.
Solitary comment about on one of the authors continuing the personal flame war between them from another thread - “u suck ballz”
This comment is a poorly thought out string of swears, racial slurs, and personal attacks not at all pertaining to the contents of the post.
This comment reports that all of the commenter’s best jokes have already been taken by previous commenters. The commenter bemoans having been too BUSY doing important things to comment earlier.
This comment invokes Poe’s Law, thus showing his views are even more extreme than the original poster’s.
This comment makes a pass at the last poster to use their own pic as an avatar.
Chuck Norris wrote this post. With his beard.
This comment was written by Chuck Norris using only his beard.
This comment exposes the commenter’s lack of net-savvy through his making a new post for every witty thing he’s got to say.
This comment says that the post is the type of typical nonsense one can expect of a member of the poster’s social, political or cultural group, galvanized with sharp, obscure witticisms to drive the point home and parade this author’s intellectual superiority over the poster, his supporters and even a few of his detractors, and even includes a sop in an attempt to prove this author is unbiased.
.... and was also written by someone who doesn’t know how to use the “submit” button.
This comment was written by someone who’s embarrassed now.
This sentence states how I should be the next American Idol.
.. and written on a portable I-“whatever”
This comment agrees with the poster and blames the problem on taking God out of school, and the decline of America as a Christian Nation.
This comment is an excuse to get readers to click through to my blog.
This comment says that the poster got it all wrong, and explains in 2000 words continued onto a second post what he really meant, in a fashion that is functionally identical, with some minor nitpicky difference that could have been summed up in a single interrogative for clarification.
This sentence angrily calls out commenter @# 142 for blatently repeating comment @# 86 without proper attribution. This sentence confuses libel and slander, though neither pertain to the complaint. This sentence insists that the blog host delete all comments from the person @# 142. This sentence references Obama for no apparent reason. This next sentence clarifies the relevance of Obama…no, actually it doesn’t. Tangent. This sentence keeps digging, no sign of treasure. Sewer line breached.
This comment tries to express how its author tried to read through all the comments. This sentence starts ok, but then slips into some tirade that ends with the author asking what in the world is meant by ‘meta’ anyway.
This sentence shows an obvious change in tone as the author tries to take a breath. The comment continues with hand-waving away the original post and all the comments. Some sort of vow is included in this sentence suggesting the author will continue blogging regardless of how incoherent other bloggers might be.
This comment ends with two famous words that the self-deluded author wants to believe finish every argument in his favour:
” ‘Nuff said! ”
This comment avers that never again will the comment author smoke pot and drink a case of beer while reading all the comments on a post like this ... moreover, he fully admits that he has, by now, forgotten the import of the original idea expressed in this post and what particular ‘wisdom nugget’ he was lay. Also, hee is beggining to miss-spell words all the while wondering if the smoke he smells is his cig burning a hole in his carpet? He then spills his last beer on keyboard, sobs quietly, vows to get a life and opts to leave dthis thread without contributing anything of substance - but does so by closing with much unnecessaary punctuation!!!
This comment states that everyone reading the incendiary post is well aware of the half-truths, mis-statements, bull$#!+ and flat out lies inherent in it. If anyone expresses interest in what this actually means, I shall retort with, “Just think about it. You’re smarter than that.” I will deem this to be a satisfactory debate from my lofty intellectual tower.
This sentence contains an unprovocative statement that doesn’t attracts the readers attention, but has everything to do with the topic of the blog post.
lol, i used the term nipple in a blog title - that made for a four fold increase in traffic, but i actually did talk about nipples. prob commenting about nipples here will increase this post’s hits. those darn nipples! okay for guys to show their nipples, but taboo for girls nips to see the light of day
anyway, incendiary comments can exist too, let us know if nipples is one of the search terms leading to this post =D
This comment is to point out that the OP has been thoroughly aped here: http://www.tnr.com/blog/the-spine/maybe-i’m-getting-paranoid-…-about-obama
It is obvious that my head is about to explode from how everyone else has missed the obvious
This comment is late to the punch and offers a lame addition to the list of much wittier comments in an attemtp to seem as witty and adding something of value but is in reality quite banal.
I wish to respond with indignation to the poster who wrote (in part):
“This comment has been made after careful reading of all the previous comments, and developing a feel for the views held by the majority of the previous commenters. Although this commenter does not personally hold the views expressed in this comment, it has been carefully crafted to elicit a flurry of indignant replies from others, who will be deliberately offended by this comment.”
... waiting to relish in the “...second comment, [that is] even more inflammatory than this one will be posted.”
This comment expresses disbelief that the word Viagra has not yet appeared in this thread.
this commenter is gaping like a toad - WTF jus happened?
This comment references one comment deep in the stack of comments, but doesn’t link back to it, and doesn’t even mention the poster by name, but it questions the intelligence and sexuality of that commenter before referencing other un-cited and out-of-context comments as proof and support.
THIS comment was POSTD by the one and Only NEIL C. REINHARDT!!!!!!
This sentance makes SOME indignant remark TO A previous poster WITH RANDOM use of all CAPS. This sentance continues the DIATRIBE, and includes reference to ONE OF mANY conspiracies to which NEIL subscribes (and vehemently denfends).
This sentance is followed by several other one-line paragraphs attacking various aspects of the OP or another poster, including the religeous views, education/INTELLEGNEC {sic}, penis size, etc. of such.
This sentance states that the ENTIRE post has been filled with vicious, prodigious use of profanity (almost art-like!).
This sentance suggests violence against the poster(s) with whom Neil C. Reinhardt is flaming.
(poster’s note: if you are unfamiliar with Neil C. Reinhardt, he has quite a following, try Google)
This comment has nothing to do with the blog or the content of any comments, existing merely to compliment one of the commenters on his or her user image. It is likely that the image is only understandable by a select subset of readers, typically members of a particular fandom.
This, my FINAL comment, vehemently agrees with my own earlier comments.
This comment promises to PM you later, to discuss.
This comment accuses “sonofsockpuppet” of being a sockpuppet and demands he be relegated to the dungeon.
This commenter then reposts this demand so much he gets himself banned from commenting.
This comment delivers another your momma insult.
MEGO after about paragraph two. The joke would have worked better as a Mad Lib.
This comment finally, definitively, brings all this discussions to a close with a firm and final statement.
Josh
This comment is self-referential.
This comment tries to point out the logical flaws in the origingal blogpost, unaware of the flame war in comments that has preceded.
This comment was inadvertently posted twice.
This comment was inadvertently posted twice.
ITS not IT’S! Jesus Christ, when will you people learn the cocking difference.
This comment took hours to compose.
This comment is just glad it has been made -finally!
This comment is by someone who flounced out 50 comments ago and has returned to defend themselves against those who mocked their flounce. Indignation is feigned and a further flounce threatened.
This comment expresses severe disappointment at having arrived to the party so late. The preceding sentence is followed by an excessive number of ellipses between numerous line breaks. This sentence claims that the commenter has now read all comments, and arrives at the conclusion that Ecclesiastes was right after all.
Following a completely unnecessary blank line, the commenter claims a desire to end his/her life, and sarcastically congratulates the preceding commenters for ruining his/her once-bright future. It then links to a possibly incongruous music video, implying that the preceding sentence may have to be interpreted as insincere. The commenter ponders whether he/she has posted too much already, and blames the comment entry box for its excessive size demanding to be filled. In an attempt to become more noticeable, the commenter includes snippets of classic USENET signatures, before complaining that he/she feels like a dinosaur among all these young people.
A semi-obscure reference to 1970s counterculture rounds off the comment with a smug sense of satisfaction.
This comment claims that the commenter hasn’t had time to read all the comments, and then repeats several points made in the first 20 comments.
this suit is NOT black
This comment opens with a breezy salutation, followed by a breathless admiration of OP, its author, and the stunning plethora of comments. This is immediately obscured by a series of references to family members and events common only to poster and OP author.
This paragraph makes note of a particularly delightsome biscuit which was served at said recent family event, and offers to share the recipe, which was mistakenly purchased by Great Aunt Adah for a frightful sum.
This segment contains the famous and dearly bought recipe for whole wheat vegan organic nonfat high fibre low carb Banana and Carob Chip Biscuits, followed by familial well-wishing and a string of animated emoticons.
Ceci n’est pas un commentaire.
This comment is the blog’s owner obsequiously agreeing with the threatened flouncer, telling him that he is quite right to be offended by whomever up thread that had the gall to point out an actual fact that contradicted said flouncer’s point.
This comment smugly refutes the veracity of the painfully purchased bakery recipe, citing several references from Snopes.
Comment concludes with a crumb or two of false humility, feigning an interest in Enlightening the Unwashed Masses, thus concealing a certain shame over the inability to address the original topic.
A previous commenter returns after several dozen listenings of new-age music. He/she promptly condemns the entirety of the blog, as well as “far too much” of the Internet, for being written in English, and elevates the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to axiomatic status. The commenter preens him/herself, proudly proclaiming fluency in seven different languages.
After a line-break, several Unicode escape sequences can be seen. (These are promptly followed by parenthetical, italicised and occasionally bolded utter outrage at the poor Unicode implementation in the blogger’s software. (In a nested parenthesis, the commenter congratulates him/herself for his/her stubborn refusal to descend into all-caps. The commenter refuses to believe that using the original Mosaic browser may have anything to do with this matter.))
This paragraph remarks on the strange beauty of nested parentheses, and deplores the commenter’s utterly factual view that kids these days seem to all use a variety of obfuscated Perl to communicate, rather than the Queen’s English he/she had to painstakingly learn.
A string of curses in numerous natural as well as artificial languages, some of the commenter’s own creation and most completely misspelled, ends the metalinguistic soliloquy.
The comment originates from one of the better-known bloggers the OP has linked to. It expresses thanks for the link, but regretfully has to point out that the OP has woefully misunderstood the point. In fact, far from agreeing, the better-known blogger was saying something else entirely. The comment continues by noting that the OP has omitted the important argument of X, which is explained in full detail on the better-known blogger’s blog. It finishes by encouraging the handful of readers of OP’s blog to join the debate over at the better-known blog.
This comment is an apology for the grammar error in the previously made post, and futily tries to salvage the point made in said comment which was watered down by the error.
このコメントを日本語で書かれています。
This comment is written in despair more than in anger.
This comment makes an irrelevant reference to self-referentiality in other media and makes self-conscious although ultimately spurious comparisons to the work of French filmmakers such as Alain Resnais or the novelist Robbe-Grillet.
This comment is written despite a vague sense of disappointment that nobody has yet responded to a wry comment the poster left previously, despite the fact that the person who left the comment has thus far only granted others approximately six minutes to reply. It expresses a reluctance on the part of the poster to admit that perhaps his previous comment was not worth responding to.
This comment is a follow-up to a previous off-topic comment that notes Robbe-Grillet’s first name is also ‘Alain’.
This comment has found the gender politics angle, and expresses a grossly exaggerated sense of shock at the commenter’s alleged misandric or misogynistic tendencies.
This comment references a Snopes page, and calls the OP an urban legend being propagated by morons who refuse to fact check.
This comment smugly shares an in-joke with regular posters, all of whom have just had their posts ‘recommended’ by the current poster regardless of the content of said posts.
[dancing paper clip]
It looks like you’re trying to write an incendiary blogpost….
This comment expresses its author’s dismay that Reb already said what this author intended to say.

a sentence fragment.
Worst comment ever!
This comment is the first in a series of 12 pingbacks written on 12 consecutive blog posts saying why the author is an idiot, as a result of the author not allowing previously attempted comments to be published.
This comment makes it clear that its author has skipped to the end of the comments without reading any of them, and has barely grasped what the fuck is going on in their own head, much less out in the wider world. It also makes it clear that they like videos of cats playing the piano.
At the end of the day, it’s all Clinton’s fault, really.

This sentence ends unexpectedly after 13 words because enter was accidently hit whilst
THis sentence contains an excuse for the abrupt end of the previous comment. This sentence contains a curse towards a particular type keyboard. This sentence cuts an end to this comment by making some allusions on flaws in the internet in general, in order to cover the fact that it’s author has already forgotten what he wanted to say in his previous comment.
This comment hopes to be the last word on the matter.
This is not a comment, but a letter to this commenter’s grandchildren thanking them for having set up her computer. It shares an embarrassing amount of detail, including the commenter’s postal address and telephone number. This comment will soon be removed at the request of a more computer-literate relative.
This comment brings up bacon and forces other commenters to comment about vegan potluck.
This comment is average.
This comment is a hit and run blog-whore by a blogger who has never heard of your blog but has seen the links on higher traffic blogs and came over to “check it out”. This sentence is a brief comment on the post, it is either favorable or unfavorable. This sentence invites everyone to discuss this further at the commenter’s own blog where this topic is regularly discussed (it has a link to the commenter’s blog’s homepage). This sentence either praises or insults the blog author. This sentence concludes the comment by stating either this blog has been added to their blogroll (inviting the blog author to reciprocate), or mocks the blogs puny traffic according to Sitemeter.
This comment refers to some biblical passage and it implications to the new world order and evolution. Hitler is referenced within context of comparison to present political heads of state.
This paragraph notes that Ayn Rand already thought of this, and urges everyone to read Atlas Shrugged.
This paragraph derides the author for having a three-word sentence that contains more than three words, and will conclude with a sentence of just one word, “FAIL”.
This comment begins as an attempt to unsubscribe from follow-up comments on this post. It goes on to encourage commentors to read Chris’s many other excellent posts here on Coyote Crossing.
DUDE UR TITLE IS HAWT
This comment is a threat to the author that if his quality doesn’t stop going so obviously downhill, he will lose one reader.
This comment is to express disapointment regarding the average-ness of #1 Dinosaur’s comment
This comment is insisting that there are 40 different sockpuppets leaving the comments agreeing with the OP and insisting IP evidence exists.
This sentence takes issue with the OP’s proposal that anyone who might disagree with its wildly overgeneralized condemnation is, by so disagreeing, actually proving the OPs point, thereby proving the OP’s point even more strongly in precisely the way the OP said it would. This sentence then follows by ironically affirming that its author, for one, welcomes our new wildly overgeneralizing overlords, thereby laying claim to one of the few remaining Simpsons references not already used upthread. And this sentence points out that Gary Farber wrote something very like this incendiary blog post in late 2002, and reminds everyone that Gary could use your help.
Dieser Kommentar kommentiert den Kommentar, der ganz auf Deutsch verfat war. Er wird auch von keinem verstanden, selbst nicht von dem ursprnglichen Kommentator, weil der nicht wieder zu diesem Blog zurckgekehrt ist.
This comment is a belated drive-by intervention.
This post states that the last dozen posters were unoriginal, pathetic worthless nancies, acting as meatpuppets for the other side, and clearly only here because of the agitation of poster #245, and that they should be banned from teh intarwebs for this. This sentence begs the OP to take the step of banning them from this blog. This sentence states that free speech exists, BUT! it doesn’t apply to people who make statements like that, and anyway, this is a private blog, so who cares?
This post contradicts banning the offensive posters, because allowing them to rant just makes their side look like the whining douchebags they are.
Comment subject that doesn’t describe comment
Confusingly Titled Meta Story
This comment bemoans the increasing prevalance of japanese comment spam and wonders if this is somehow connected to anthropogenic global warming and further speculates whether a research grant might be obtainable to study the phenomenon. It then realises that it is off topic but decides it doesn’t really care that much so posts it anyway while wondering if there is a critical threshold for self-referencing blog comments that could cause a rift in the fabric of spacetime.
Expression of irritation at constant repetition of “this sentence…” and “this comment…”. Plea to rewrite with directly labeled statements, albeit without subject/verb agreement, but without annoying repetition (a la certain bits of dialogue in Soderbergh’s, “Schizopolis” for example). Enticement to agree? Further Begging?

This comment notes the length of this thread and describes it as “epic.” This sentence laments the fact that the commenter didn’t get to the thread early enough to make an original point. This sentence is used to make the unoriginal point anyway. This sentence reflects that if the internet was more like this thread, the world would be a better place. This sentence is completely superfluous.
This comment is an accusation that one of the other commenters has actually commented on his own comment to bolster it using any number of other names.
This comment further claims that the accused commenter “is up to his old tricks again” and links to another blog that proves the point.
This comment restates what has already been said at least 6 times in previous comments by someone who didn’t take the time to read any earlier comments, but is convinced his comment is so insightful that no one else will have thought of it before now.

This comment asks when you’re going to finally release the details you know about Trig’s birth so the world can know once and for all that he isn’t really Sarah Palin’s baby.
This comment makes a clumsy Star Trek analogy to part of the OP, hoping to derail the thread into a discussion of Trek or science fiction in general.
This comment starts by stating that the commenter has read all the comments, a statement made in the belief that this will increase the likelihood that the commenter will be seen as Serious and Thorough instead of just someone with nothing better to do for an hour. This sentence will use the phrase “the marketplace of ideas.” This sentence will pompously chastise the OP for being incendiary and for criticizing other commenters for not seeing the OP’s entire thesis. This sentence will have no relevance to the the OP because the commenter can read but cannot think.
This comment’s nauseating stench is a direct result of the commenter’s transparent attempt at brown-nosing the blogger. It’s followed by a lame inside joke unsuccessfully designed to make the commenter look like she’s part of the blogger’s inner circle.
Reference to the theme to It’s Garry Shandling’s Show.

this comment begins in all lowercase with three periods following every sentence…this sentence makes use of CAPITAL letters for terms describing the regard with which the commenter holds the writer…this sentence ascribes the blog writer to the same social movement as some political figure… this little piggy stayed home.
this sentence provides a hyperlink to capitalized alleged PROOF that the sentence before last is true. isn’t a complete sentence or grammatically coherent. this sentence puts the apostrophe in the wrong place in it’s use of the word its. THIS SENTENCE JUST GOES OFF THE FUCKING RAILS ANGRY ABOUT I DONT FUCKING KNOW OR CARE WHAT, ASSHOLES.
THIS MOTHER-FUCKING SENTENCE CONTINUES THE ALL-FUCKING-CAPITALIZED ANGRY RANT THAT BEGAN AT THE FUCKING END OF THE PREVIOUS FUCKING PARAGRAPH.

This sentence quotes a famous person saying something irrelevant and not witty enough to justify its inclusion in the footer.

This comment points out that an entire subthread above is based on a straw man argument and then continues to explain why, in the process making it entirely clear that the poster has no clear understanding of what a straw man argument is or why it is a bad thing.
This comment is an exact copy of the 13th, 42nd, and yet to be written 124th comments
This comment mentions Hitler for no apparent reason other than to satisfy Godwin’s Law.
This comment contains repeated (sp?) second-guessings of speling (sp?), despite those squigly red lines that indecate whether a word is real. This comment is also posted several times due to the commenter’s incompetance (sp?) with simple buttons. (sp?)

This comment, ergo sum.
This comment accuses the original author of constructing a straw man argument, and in doing so demonstrates that;
a) the term “straw man’ is almost universally misunderstood, and certainly is by the commenter
b) the commenter has read several other comments on blogs which use the phrase and thinks it will make him/her look erudite, and
c) any blog post, on any blog, on any subject, can have this accusation thrown at it.
This is the comment where Goodwins law is invoked and cites a prior commenter as citing an argument that Hitler would have posted
meow!
This comment indicates the low temperature of the article and declaims familial fraternity with the original author.
This comment feeds the trolls
This comment reminds commenters not to feed the trolls, while clearly being one.
This sentence has three exclamation marks but asks a question about the status of thought about children.
This comment is from a Canadian who believes her country already resolved the controversy in the late 80’s.
this comment erroneously declares itself to be the last.
This sentence is guilty of self-reference, and is sentenced to reading technical manuals for a period of not less than one blog entry nor greater than the life of this blog-ripple chain. However, the sentence is suspended, pending the completion of an eight hour course from an appoved linguistics training school.
This comment points out spelling errors in the previous comment. This sentence makes a snarky comment about a particular spelling error in the previous comment. This sentence uses the mis-spelled word to state something ridiculous that the previous commenter did not intend to say but which this commenter is amused by.
This comment uses catchphrases from another blog in order demonstrate insider knowledge.
GOATS ON FIRE!
Thanks for the snarky comment, but I know it was meant to be positively snarky. I can’t type because I don’t have opposable wings. I like your tux, but what are you drinking?
This comment apologizes for requesting bunnification of a really nasty and homophobic commenter on another blog where the original post’s author used to guest post, thus seeming to help the author decide not to guest post there anymore.
This comment then deploys an emoticon.
:-/
This comment asks that this commenter’s prior comment be deleted from the comment thread. And then this comment deploys another emoticon. :-O
this comment suggests that the author stop commenting so that his thousands of readers who have been sent here from other blogs enraged by the hit count can actually get a comment in edge-wise.
This comment is a DEMAND for NESTED COMMENTS.
This sentence contains a link to YouTube.
This comment is a link to an internet phishing scam.
This comment is a Rick-roll.
It was only a few seconds ago that the commenter realized that in setting up the above link, she took so long that she herself ended up listening to much of the song from youtube and has essentially Rick-roll’d herself.
This comment is a game changer
this comment is a plea to the OP to consider writing about something completely unrelated to the subject at hand, but may or may not be relevant to the theme of the blog, along with a half-hearted apology for being OT.
This comment sucks.
And concludes by saying all other comments suck too.
This comment protests that the previous comment was deleted while it was clearly on-topic and did not contain any ad hominems or profanity

This Comment is Quite idiosyncratically Capitalized and Styled with an Abundance of Emphatic Signifiers, which defeats the Purpose of using emphasis, WHILE ALSO making it MUCH More Difficult to Read.
This comment has nothing to do with the subject whatsoever, but opportunistically links to an outside product.
This comment was only partially written when the poster accidentally submitted it by hitting the
This comment is an attack phrased as a series of questions, allowing the poster to put forward an aura of faux objectivity, though careful readers can clearly see through the pose.
This comment starts off by strongly agreeing with the above blog post, but then goes on to summarize the blog thesis in such a way that it becomes clear the commenter thought the blog author was making exactly the opposite point of that which was actually written.
This comment is a bemused and self-congratulatory recognition of how the entire thread of previous comments provides a perfected example of the poor quality of discussion found everywhere on the Internet.
This comment is written by a well known writer who has a regular column at the New Republic but who feels deeply threatened by the thesis of the above blog post and who is, therefore, posting here anonymously to suggest that the blog author here is utterly wrong and immoral, whereas decent, well meaning people tend to agree with the writers at the New Republic. When it becomes publicly known that this New Republic writer is posting comments using false identities, their career as a writer will suffer a terrible setback, from which they will never recover.
This comment points out that anyone who wants to do anything about the issue described in the above blog post is, paradoxically, a hypocrite, because, for this issue, the laws of unintended consequences work in such strangely ironic ways that, in fact, the best thing we can possibly do about this issue is to do nothing at all.
This comment is posted by a troll who is well known, and utterly hated, by those readers who frequent this blog. The troll comments on every post on this blog.
This comment is made by a regular reader of the blog who hates the troll who just posted the previous comment. The regular reader now begs the owner of this blog to permanently ban the troll forever. The regular reader appeals to the others who post comments on this blog to agree that the troll never contributes anything useful to any conversation on this blog.
This comment expresses outrage that the author of the blog post should be writing about this particular issue, when, in fact, the author of the blog post has never written about the suffering of the people of East Timor, which is clearly a much larger and more important issue, effecting many more people. The poster of this comment suggests that no one will ever take the author seriously, until the author has written about all of those other issues, of which East Timor is only an example, which are clearly more important than the issue raised here.
This comment parses the words of the original post, and parses them again and again and again, using clever rhetorical tricks to falsely “prove” that the words mean something very different than what they first appear to mean. This comment then urges reader not to fall for the innocent, naive impression they may have been left with after first reading the blog post, but rather, to see deeper, and thus understand the hideous, monstrous, secret aims of the author of the blog post.
THIS COMMENT IS WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS AND CONTAINS AN EXHORTATION TO “WAKE UP.” IT CONTAINS A REFERENCE TO ABORTION, NO MATTER WHAT THE TOPIC OF THE THREAD IS.
This comment is written by a hardened veteran of blog comment flame wars but who, hoping to gain the credibility of an objective innocent, claims “This is my very time posting a comment to a blog.” They then disagree with the blog post and point out that they know of absolutely no one, anywhere, who would agree with the blog post.
...This comment inserts an IMG link to a unicorn chaser embed.
This comment is written by someone who clearly arrived on this site after having searched on Google for a term that just happens to appear in the title of the blog post. They then ask “Where can I buy incendiaries?”
