Over the years OnlineAthens has turned into a halfway decent news source for those of us living in Athens, GA. But unfortunately it’s overrun by the worst sort of commenters — racists, bigots and all-around assholes.

There are the occasional rational discussions, but sometimes you have to throw the baby out with the bath water. If you’ve been wanting to read the Banner Herald without comments, these extensions are for you.

If you use Firefox, install the Firefox extension by clicking the button:

If you’re a Google Chrome user, just click this link:

If you use another browser, like say Internet Explorer, well, you’ll have to use this bookmarklet. Just drag the button to your bookmarks bar and then click it on a Banner Hearld article and comments will disappear

(If anyone has experience building Internet Explorer extensions and wants to put together something fancier, just e-mail me.)
