One of the main reasons I love the Sift is the comment exchange. I am curious as to how other Siftites deal with the comment section on this here video sharing site. I know poll answers are always limited, so feel free to expand below (hey, that is NOT a salacious pun, put that thing away you perv!).

Other - All
Why is there no "All" option? I don't want to be lumped in with "not long copy pastie ones"
And yes i really do read most all comments when I'm looking at a video.


That was what the first option was for. I added the parentheses for those who have our resident crazies on "hide" but read everything else, but you can tick if you read them too

I tend to read what the writer has read into the comment. Hardly ever do I take any comment at face value, especially here on the VS. Agenda and world-view clashes make my dick hard, and it's a weak-minded thug who cowers at the occasional exercise in heated confrontation.

What has always pissed me off here and internet-wide, esp. after having been (and remain in the limited framework of many users minds) accused, convicted by kangaroo court and jury and labeled a troll???.... People using labels that other monkeys can grunt in unison to, should they face having to actually think and engage in discourse.

I have always here engaged in discussions at length either through PM's or offsite in chat(especially when someone has taken issue with my free-will exercized) here on Videosift.....I'd rather chat than offer back and fourth quips, and ANYONE'S ONE SENTENCE QUIP, hip or not, clever or not, qualifies as trollish behavior in my estimation.....YOU ARE ALL TROLLS LIVING IN DENIAL!!!


Popularity is an illusion, I come here for the infamy.

My feelings are that the comments are part of the video post. I always read the comments.

The nice parts of commenting is that the style/design of the way comments are presented makes it easy for us all to be part of the conversation and participate. Kind of like all being in the same room talking with a coffee in our hand. (even if we do argue a bit. )

I have to agree you're not a troll, choggie, though I have made numerous tongue-in-cheek statements to the contrary.

Trolls drop bait and wait to see who takes it. When you're stirring shit up, you harass specific targets. Trolls are passive-aggressive; You are just aggressive. That's not trolling, that's instigating.

I've just realised how biased this poll is: only people who tend to read the comments (and generally take interest in the community) would look at a poll in the first place... I has failed at polling

Now, now... *takes her into his arms and pats her head* we all make mistakes sometimes; the important thing is to learn from them, though.
Oh, one more lesson:
*shoves her into the swimming pool and starts to dance and sing broadway-style*
Everyone's a dick on the Internet!
Every single one you meet is a jerk!
And if it's not a vid of kitties,
it's a vid filled to the brim with titties!

Thank you, thank you... I'll be here all day.

Heheh, the internet equivalent of the road sign that says "Pay attention to road signs"
