&#62;I suggest you consult the dictionary on the definition of 'drivel'.<p>I <i>meant</i> drivel. The linked post starts with:<p>&#62; <i>So, I went with, “fuckyourwhoremotherinheronegoodear.”</i><p>Drivel is "childish talk" (mom insults, anyone?)

For me, intelligent debate does not talk about fucking anyone's whore mother in their ear. If that is what I was looking for, I'd read YouTube comments.<p>edit: admittedly, tptacek does have a point re: the flag button vs. blacklist.
