I'm kinda floored by the comments on the story on NPR. Even if you don't like'em, they're managing to pull off something not everyone can. I've enjoyed Pomplamoose for a while now. Glad to see they're doing well.

Then again, I guess it's just as shocking that I'm still surprised by the vitriolic tone of commenters on the internet.



You should see some of the Youtube comments.

I think, from here on out, anyone who hopes to break the mold in any way via the web will just have to ignore 99.9% of all comments. Too many people get their rocks off anonymously tearing people down, and sites just don't care enough about building a thoughtful community to combat it.


I think everyone online should learn to ignore 99.9% of all comments. I'd like to hope most of us already had.


Once again, Gabe and Tycho have the important insight: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/
