    trolls

    It's not likely. The repetative letter writter is glued to its monitor in anticipation of the new Modern World strip every week. I can imagine it refreshing its browser minute after minute as the midnight hour strikes... yearning to sound its weekly manichaean cry of "First Post!".

    It's a troll. There's a saying about not feeding the net trolls. It found a button to push and it makes it giggle to push it over and over again every week. It was supposed to use the phrase "phoned it in", though... I'm very dissapointed to not see that this week *shakes head*. You better promise to do better next week, youngster! *wags finger sternly at the troll*

    See... Salon.com may be a "librul" news site but it's one that tries to promote enlightened discussion. He posts the same comment and he gets the same attention every week... some of it in the sincere "librul" fashion of promoting discourse... other attention as a knee jerk reaction to a perceived attack.

    Whatever.

    He probably makes his weekly rounds visiting the NRA website, earnestly declaring that they should embrace Michael Moore... or the Gay-Lesbian-Transgendered websites saying that they need to find salvation through Jesus.

    We can cleverly discern its Trollish motivations by it's failure to contribute meaningfully to any opportunities for discourse presented.
