1. You *cannot* disable comments on your entries. Period. I don't like it, it seems trollish. I don't know if you've done this before or after the fact, and I don't care.
2. I don't mind icon rants, in general. I've got some of those myself. But they don't belong in this community. If you really want to put it in here, stick it behind a cut and include an icon or two, or an icon request. If this leads to drama, that's your own business. You need to deal with your own messes. By this I mean, grow up and learn to ignore people who are irritating you. I don't want to spend my life searching for comment threads to freeze and comments to delete, and I'm not *going* to. You need to tell somebody (me or Jazzy) if a comment is very offensive. (On a similar note, I don't want people deleting other people's comments. If a comment really is that bad, and it's on your entry, you can screen it and inform me or
dandelion and we'll deal with it as we see fit.)
3. Normally, when I delete posts, I follow it up by an explanation in this comm, or in somebody's journal. I didn't do that this time, and I apologise.
