So, you believe you should judge the quality of comments, and put a stop to the ones you deem to have low quality, even if the participants disagree with you. And further, you think it is your role to protect people from "wasting time" by voluntarily reading comments of their choosing. You further ridicule the comments you disapprove of as "yes-i-did-no-you-didn't" style comments, knowing that isn't literally true in some cases.

You still haven't shown a good counterexample. Until then, I'm inclined to take him at his word, since I've never seen anything of the sort myself.

  What about the parenting thread I linked? PS YC and searchyc are both very slow for me. It's hard to find anything. If I could just search for posts by pg with certain keywords then I would give you better links, but I can't.

Anyone else see the irony in this thread becoming a "yes-i-did-no-you-didn't" thread?

  What makes you think it is one? I think you are illustrating why that is a bad criterion.

    Because your response makes me want to respond in kind...tit for tat. And, it's apparent that you're in that mode, as well, having to have the last word with every reply from pg and others. Neither one of us is saying anything, at this point, except, "It is" or "No, it isn't". That's the kind of thing that pg is talking about.

      I agree with you that you are saying things without any serious content, and that you are in troll mode. Please note that your accusations against me are covered under this, so can be safely disregarded. No doubt you will complain that I am arguing pointlessly. But I think this is fun, and that my comment is true. It is logical that if you admit to posting badly, then your claims in that very post shouldn't be accepted.
