We're fine with critical commentary -- it keeps us on our toes and the site (and our comment threads) would be poorer without it.

It's easy to call comments "trollish" once you've deleted the ones you don't like.  "Trollish" comments not critical of Engadget are just fine though, right?  Surely you aren't suggesting that you remove all such remarks or that you are even qualified to know...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[craig]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2007 12:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Maker Faire, Austin: you going?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/maker-faire-austin-you-going/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/maker-faire-austin-you-going/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sounds like you don't quite understand how moderated comments work. People who leave good, interesting, even critical comments get to go about their business; those who leave trollish comments -- about anything, including Engadget -- are liable to have theirs removed.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ryan Block]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2007 1:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Maker Faire, Austin: you going?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/maker-faire-austin-you-going/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/maker-faire-austin-you-going/</guid><description><![CDATA[Being a moderator on another site, I think I do.  Reading Engadget pretty regularly, I don't buy your explanation.  There's plenty of trolling, namecalling, flaming, and spamming going on that passes all the time.  I've had at least three of my comments removed from Engadget and all were critical of Engadget's work.  The fact is that Engadget is far more sensitive to comments about Engadget than it is to hostility among its readership.  If Engadget moderated to remove trolls, many of its own trollish editorial comments would get censored.  In fact, some of its articles, namely to ones flaming Apple clone manufacturers, wouldn't exist at all.  Engadget not only allows trolling, it participates in it.  If Engadget could refrain from juvenile, insulting, and judgemental comments from its editors I doubt I'd have ever had a comment removed at all.<br><br>Why don't you give me an example of how critical commentary has kept Engadget on it's toes, Ryan?  Sounds like nothing more than PR to me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[craig]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2007 1:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Maker Faire, Austin: you going?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/maker-faire-austin-you-going/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/maker-faire-austin-you-going/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wonder if the robo pony can be reprogrammed and have sexual organs retro-fitted so furries the world over can finally have the perfect sex partner?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tanais]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2007 4:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Maker Faire, Austin: you going?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/maker-faire-austin-you-going/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/maker-faire-austin-you-going/</guid><description><![CDATA[Dude.
