An anonymous blog-stuffing butthead was busy over the Memorial Day weekend, sending senseless comments to "Would We Lie?" and other Daily News sites.
The butthead (or buttheads) filled our comment section with hundreds of "messages" dealing with "insest," "beastiality" and "rape."
At first we were tempted to leave them alone. After all, anyone who puts great stock in the number of comments a blog receives would be impressed: More than 335 comments in three days!
But then we realized we were serious journalists out to do a serious job. Would readers take us seriously if they checked a comment that promised "father daughter rape by dog with side salad"?
We think not.
Thus, they are gone.
And we encourage the sender(s) to get back to school right away. You should be able to spell an aberrant act before you practice it -- or promote it.
