Please don't break everyone's formatting by writing something quite so long that won't wrap. Thanks.

People, if you install a comment collapser like the greasemonkey script on this page, you can hide the above post.

I happen to like this comment, it gets the point across.

Can someone delete this comment please? I'd like to read the other comments here but this one means I've got to scroll back and forth for each line :(

For a temporary solution, try right-clicking on it, select "inspect element" or something to that effect and deleting the text.

I use a bookmarklet that comes in handy in cases like this:

  javascript:(function()%7Bfunction callback()%7B(function(%24)%7Bvar jQuery%3D%24%3B%3B%24('*').on("contextmenu"%2C function(evt) %7Bevt.preventDefault()%3B%7D)%3B%24('*').mousedown(function(evt)%7Bif(evt.which%3D%3D%3D3)%7Bevt.srcElement.remove()%3B%7D%7D)%7D)(jQuery.noConflict(true))%7Dvar s%3Ddocument.createElement("script")%3Bs.src%3D"https%3A%2F%2Fajax.googleapis.com%2Fajax%2Flibs%2Fjquery%2F1.7.1%2Fjquery.min.js"%3Bif(s.addEventListener)%7Bs.addEventListener("load"%2Ccallback%2Cfalse)%7Delse if(s.readyState)%7Bs.onreadystatechange%3Dcallback%7Ddocument.body.appendChild(s)%3B%7D)()

After clicking the bookmarklet, you can right-click on any element to remove it.

You know what man, FUCK YOU. You broke the layout of the discussion for everyone and it's next to impossible to follow the conversation without a ton of horizontal scrolling. Take your trolling elsewhere, it's not welcome here.

Whoa, please don't. This comment would be fine if it were just the second sentence.
