Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

    Can't you hide them by browsing at a different score level - or have I missed the point again? The children of a comment that has been modded 'down to oblivion' surely make no sense on their own?

    There a sometimes some very good things in threads including trolls (or mis-modded comments).
    Keeping the tree structure in place while hiding the actual "bad" comment would be a bit more readable than the current version. I can abstract all the "you're dumb" replies, which also make more sense as a structure than dumped to the root of the comment tree.
    JMHO.
