Better title would be "Suggest & Ban".

Wonder if Marco's sudden anti-comments stance has anything to do with the shitty, unfriendly beautiful, simple new "blogging platform" he's developed? It doesn't yet support commenting, natch.

(bynkii also indefensible, but it's nice to see them all fighting)
Not sure if bynkii.com is a site I can read & trust.
