"Oh look, a comment that slightly deviates from THE RULES of the site? Better jump into the guidelines and copy-paste the relevant passage to prove how vile the poster is. When he reads my comment, he will certainly drown in guilt and despair and refrain from posting something like that again. That will show him!"
> people had started to post obscene ASCII drawings, were using various curse words, and there were many, many repetitive comments across the ~400 comments posted
Sounds like an appropriate and commensurate response to this terrible idea.
The kind of dismaying comments I am interested in are those that made you think "this sounds awful but it's probably true", not "whoever posted this garbage is an awful person".
You can't comment like this here, regardless of how strongly you feel about the wrong others have done. We ban accounts that post like this, so please don't do it again.

somebody at wapo said yea these are great comments and approved them ^ ( every comment goes through moderation before publication) , at the same time wailing about how horrible comment section is horrible and ' is especially true for women and minorities.'[1].
Yeah, that's a disgusting comment and it's far worse that it received upvotes if that screenshot is accurate. Nevertheless, it is legal free speech, even if it makes me very angry.
The comment in question has been edited. It originally started with something like "Downvote me to hell but I couldn't hate this more." Of course, you only have my word for that.
