Is anyone else getting a glitch where words are missing from posts, or sometimes every post appears almost entirely blank? Or is that just me?

I actually had a wee exchange with a Disqus anti-feminist troll (with, literally, three orders of magnitude fewer posts than me) in the Geek Girl thread: was bracing, in a way. Especially the bit where he said I was probably unsuccessful IRL because I comment on The Old Country a lot... and called me a liar when I explained just how untrue that is. Comedy gold. I stand by my statement that all GamerGate-like antifem male discourse can always be reduced to EW, COOTIES. And that Disqus has substantially lowered the discourse at AVC (with a few happy exceptions) - a state which will get worse when/if The Onion sells.

It's just not the same as the old familiar handful of trolls. Now it could be anyone.

Someone accused me yesterday of supporting the African slave trade. That was a refreshingly original conversational turn.

@cub was the first person to follow me on disqus! @cub is my only follower on disqus, and the reason I'm on this forum - I saw her here and thought, hey, why not? I know Cub likes me! Now I learn that she only followed me because I "liked" a comment she made years ago .......

I don't like following people on disqus because all those notifications overwhelm me.
That's also why I hate email.

Is it only me or is AVC not displaying the new layout (nor comments) in Firefox? I'm finding the site increasingly frustrating to use lately. Comments don't display in Firefox, videos won't play in Safari, etc.

That Beetlejuice person called me a "sadist" and told me that I "should've joined the Nazi party" because I'm not pro-Polanski.

He also said Twin Peaks and The Wire were 'dark antihero dramas' (despite freely admitting to having only seen an episode of both), while saying anyone who liked those shows, or shows like The Shield or The Sopranos are sadists and secret Republicans. I hope you made a fool out of that fool. Also, great to see you here!

I work in a church so November and December and full for me so I wasn't online as much. I pretty much only posted at The Dissolve, because I could only keep up with one site.

He's a complete prick and even more irritating is how, despite ample stupidity and baiting comments, he never actually does anything (yet) that merits a banning. I wish more people who just disengage with him. But, so it goes…

I wish that ZMF would have been around to see Beetlejuice insult the Shield, the fallout from that would have been amazing.

Ah ZMF, one of the most boring manchildren I've ever had the displeasure of seeing be worshipped without merit. *yawn* He shows up sometimes on my Twitter when people RT him and every time I roll my eyes.

As one of those people on Twitter who occasionally retweets him, I apologize. I probably won't stop, though.

Well, in the wake of my own *cough* harassment issues, I've timed how long it takes Disqus to remove a post, and delete an account.
Comment deletion (average time): 7 minutes
Account deletion (average time): 18 minutes
Amount of time elapsed before I feel violated: immediately violated, 0 minutes
So at least the accounts are removed fairly quickly, point Disqus (+1). However the fact that the accounts are so fucking easy to make in the first place, and the fact that it is apparently super easy to get around a ban, means that Disqus is docked a point for every harassing comment that I've received (-117). So the score evens out to a resounding negative 116.
Nicely done Disqus.
