From the tipbox:

More comment fascism from DCist… I guess Sommer Mathis can’t handle criticism. Maybe she should chose a new profession instead of stifling free speech!

Indeed, Mathis says within the post that guest comments are often insulting and/or obnoxious — thus, the site is limiting them. She adds that the DCist site will “probably” do away with guest comments altogether in the future.

And guest commenters are furious. For instance:

i am done reading dcist. way to go sommer! go back to writing drivel about how cops are the bad guys, and how cool shaw is.

She’s suffering through a midlife crisis, kids. And it’s scary!

Figuring out how to manage to have someone spend the night with you for the first time in one of those thin, weird twin mattresses is a right of passage in this great country of ours. Kids these days are soft enough as it is without schools choosing to coddle them into believing they deserve to sleep comfortably. This is an outrage of the first order.

Wow! Who’s she sleeping with now???

Oh my! It’s come to Big Head DC’s attention that Endless Simmer writer Stefanie Gans is the Michael Vick of the DC food scene.  Why?

Well, because she eats dogs!  Just look at her “about” page where she writes she likes eating “egg and cheese on a begal” and a “begal and cream cheese.”  Anyone who eats Snoopy has got to be just plain mean.

And! On her MySpace photos comments, a friend writes about how people used to debate whether she wore a bra to class. Maybe if she’d paid more attention to both the letters on her bra size and the letters in the alphabet, well, Snoopy might be alive and well. It’s sad how a typo can result in a dead dog.

Herein lies the problem with MySpace. Just because YOU keep your pics clean, Stafanie, doesn’t mean an IDIOT FRIEND won’t post a revealing one of you when they make a comment.  That’s Stefanie flashing (stage right). Apparently, she also works for some women’s business group, so the pic is pretty much all the proof you need to know how to get ahead in Washington.

Again, poor Snoopy!
