Did Phil Faint?
Phil Bronstein wrote this terrible piece, which got unanimous comments at sfgate. One of them which captured accurately the vibe was along the lines of:
Bush: zombie. Obama: vampire. Bronstein: idiot
We wrote our own little comment, similar in essence to the post linked above (or situated just below), which was among the most popular comments for a while. We were flattered, even though there were only a handful of comments (honestly, nobody cares about what Phil writes unless they display it prominently on the main sfgate.com page).
But now, no comments, zilch, nada. And if you try to insert a new comment, you get an error message. Connection reset.
So we're curious. Did the pointed comments tickle Phil enough that he had them removed? If that's a technical issue, how come it's happening to this little commented page and not to the rest? Is the page now closed to comment?
Come on, Phil, the premise of the piece (Bush: zombie. Obama: vampire. Bronstein: idiot) is ridiculous enough that you did not expect to be praised for it, didn't you? Plus, the right wingers whose approval you were fishing for, you have to give them a little time, they don't work on all cylinders, you now.
