From the article…

Repeat violators or discourteous agitators will be grouped elsewhere or blocked outright. Comments of first-timers will be screened by a human being.

But we “aren’t going to moderate comments,” oh no, that would be a violation of your freedom of speech. We will block some and put others into a category where you have to ask to be able to see their comments, but it isn’t like we are moderating or anything…

WTF, you would think a newspaper would know better than to try to use the political doubletalk they constantly decry on it’s own readers. What a bunch of crap.
