I've long been baffled by the general level of idiocy of the comments in The Guardian's Comment is Free section. Take Peter Hallward's humane and intelligent analysis of the West's culpability in Haiti's fucked economy and social structure, for example, which meets a barrage of imbecilic abuse. As Mark Fisher argues, the majority of these comments are both wilfully ignorant and simplistically unaware of their own ideological position - the default setting for all conservatives who believe that ideology is something that other people suffer from. Anyway, Mark's post has said all this better already so go read it....

How can anybody post negative comments on such a human tragedy. What I have noticed is there are are lot of angry people who randomly use comment boards to have a good old rant! BTW great photo blogspace
