I'm speaking of course of the (mercifully infrequent) comments by a certain troll who never has a kind word to offer and only deals in insults and negativity. Every time I see a comment from this individual, I pray it will be their last. I hope that I'm not encouraging them by commenting here, but it's been hard enough ignoring them up to this point that I just couldn't stay silent any longer. And since admonishing this individual would almost certainly fail to positively influence them, I'd instead like to take this opportunity to thank everyone ELSE in the comments section for their consistently positive and intelligent contributions.
