H.I.F.

I dislike online comments sections. They are pits of slime and nasty bile, not to mention of typos, misspellings, and, in general, a level of sub-illiteracy that almost makes you wish people had to pass a grammar test in order to get a license to drive the Internet.

Nevertheless, I descend into those pits occasionally and find something decent. Mostly, I do so at Reddit, which seems to do a pretty good job at keeping their comment pits relatively cordial. I most recently ran across this exchange at a Reddit pit. The lengthy one at the end does a nice job of summing up the reasons I incline more toward anarchism than favor for the current government. I don't agree with all of it (and the gentleman needs to learn how to use a semi-colon when grappling with serial commas), but it's a good, if only partial, summary of complaints.
