Be careful what you wish for. I’ve got a comment flamer on my site. He’s the world’s worst houseguest. He invites himself in, then proceeds to flame other commenters and me. That’s okay. I wrote a post on first amendment rights and I’ve asked him participate further.

He made one more comment to my invitation, and hasn’t been back again.

Cathartic? Don’t know. I do get catharsis from most of my readers’ comments — just not his.
