This is certainly a great idea, in theory.  However,
if you think abusive spirited comments are bad, wait
until these same people find out all they have to do
to Zap everyone else's comments is get 4 other
locations to vote them down.

Remember that a huge part of the "mean spirited
comments" are probably intentional sabatoge of what we
are doing at our site.  Allowing viewers to voted down
other's comments would be an avenue of sabatoge that
would probably be used, which could cause even more
havock than what we are doing now.

ONE thing we might consider, is requiring people to
"log on" before posting a reply.  (Some IMCs do this.)
 I am not convinced of the value of totally annonomys
contributions, particularly because of the various
"Dear Karen" posts.
