I had a quick look at using the hnsearch api to build some kind of filtered return of comments, which removed posts from any user who had just created the account (or had a <1 avg karma), IE: drive by accounts.
I couldn't work it out quick enough to warrant further time investment, because I'm not convinced if it is actually a good solution.
Having not been in the same situation as Dave Winer I don't know how I'd actually respond. I like to think that I've been on the internet long enough to realize that toxic anon comments should roll off like water on a duck. But maybe I'd get super depressed and go cry in a corner.
I probably won't find out any time soon, because I have nothing which would gather a huge focus on HN.
Final question on the end of my ramble, is this all #famouspeopleproblems?
