I am finally getting recognition for my work, even if it was ruining the Internet for everyone.

When Ted Kennedy died I remember the 900+ comments at the Mpls Star & Tribune website with most saying negative things about him. They were true statements but the next day they were all replaced by positive comments. The site changed their policy by having you subscribe to the paper and also deciding when not to allow any comments for stories they know will generate a lot of negative comments.
Dear Mr. Huffman: Sod off, Swampy.
Freedom of speech is a God-given right; and all the more precious when it sends little snowflakes like you into a full-fledged case of the vapours.
