Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 30, 2024

Heh, heh, heh. ‘Comments section’.

As if Wiley ever reads the little pearls we leave for him.

Magat comments will do that.

That must be the troll’s rest room.

And here we are in the toture chamber.

That’s why there’s no commenting on the Political Cartoons recently…I miss those comments!

Ouch!

A troll has gotta troll.

The most anti-social place on earth is social media.

I’m offended by that! ;)

we are tired and anyway, it’s not funny anymore

There are a few comment sections right here on gocomics that can get ugly

A few comics have had to have their comment sectionn pulled

That should be a warning to Trolls, but Trolls can’t stop being Trolls

What .. comments section in the torture chamber .. ? “No, no, don’t do it – I’ll tell you anything!!”

Personally, I rather like to let the Trolls spew. It gives me a chance to unload facts on them, and to help educate those who are undecided and trying to understand why voting for Donald Dump and his MAGAt Chorus is a losing proposition, whether he wins or not.

Now I’m afraid to make a comment.

Reading through the literature on pyromania and substituting troller for pyro seems to work.

“The psychology of arson is complex and can be linked to a variety of factors, including mental health issues, personality disorders, and substance abuse ….”

‘National Geographic Magazine’ briefly printed a Letters from Readers section a few years ago. It tried to print comments on both sides of issues. It quickly took on a nasty tone from adamant science deniers who boldly thought political views should trump data accumulated through years of research data.

I have a subscription to NGM back to 1962. It was most unpleasant to read — as if turning the page to come across poison ivy mixed with broken glass. It seemed as if polluted miasma arose.

This was a time, also, when National Geographic and its various science and entertainment divisions were on the brink of being sold to Fox. So there was a lot of irritation simmering on both sides.

Thank goodness Disney stepped in to buy it.

I just go for the jokes. Vitriol isn’t funny and neither is politics

Now we know why the call it Yelp!

Good morning, boys and girls. It’s a beautiful day here on the Southcoast of Massachusetts. If you can, get out and soak up some Vitamin D. If my legs feel OK, I’ll go for a stroll.

No comment!

HA HA HA HA! Especially on some of Wiley’s. I mean, flaming comments are one thing, but some of the flames are like hellfire! Well, allowing for the fact that some words are censored.

need another door for REPLIES

Rarely feel a need to comment here as it usually echoes my sentiments.

Just as long as they don’t ask for feedback or review

Only peer behind the comment door occasionally.

Trolls are mean, wicked, evil, stupid, bad and nasty. They love their own trollness.

Them that don’t like the comments shouldn’t read them.

The decision to disable comments on the editorial cartoons was cowardice on steroids. Yes, trolls are stupid on steroids (and in some cases on meth), and should be ignored completely. But comments by worthwhile people out-numbered comments by trolls.

Heard recently that comments all over the internet are now being made/generated by computers using AI….think about it…..all your vitriol spewing being wasted against a computer somewhere……yuk,yuk,yuk…..maybe I’m a computer…..

Good one, Wiley.

Welcome! Please be patient. Someone to disagree with you will be here shortly.

I’m guessing it doesn’t get a lot of likes.

Boomer and comment sections, I mean…. what could go wrong ! ;-)

It sounds to me the legal department got cold tootsies. This is a site dedicated to cartooning. It should THRIVE on anarchy, not fear it.

Consider adding a tip

com·ment /ˈkäˌment/ An excuse to publicize your ideas to others that you claim you don’t care about.

Oh the Humanity!

“Please take a few moments to fill out our survey: 1) How satisfied were you with the pain level?…”

GC certainly has no obligation to allow comments but they have clearly taken away something that most people found entertaining and maybe informative. I wonder if there was pressure from the right to end the practice or maybe the majority of comments were not in line with upper management’s political views.

Feel the fiery wrath of the flaming idjit trolls.

Use to write an editorial about once a week to the various papers, if an article solicits a position on a subject then there should be comments allowed; if they are not they are not worth visiting or supporting; lived in enough foreign countries to recognize the various gimmicks employed when dictatorships are developing.

The horror, the horror.

If I want flaming opinions, I’ll ask Danae
