I’d be there too, but my commenting is kind of sporadic. So you would be mostly all alone with them.

Oh, lord… I didn’t think of that… If he banned all the BSG commenters it’d just be me and hordes of teenage vampire romance fans Time would force Lev to pander to…

Hear, hear! Drives me freakin’ nuts. I’m ready to switch to Firefox only for this blog and adblock the hell out of it. I already have a Time subscription that shows up a day or two late every week. You hear me, Time? No ad revenue from me!
