Let's say I create another website that allows people to share things and other people to comment on those things, pray do tell how do I prevent ignorant comments? Should only people who have Mensa certification be allowed to comment? Does Mensa alone rule out all cases of error possible in human brain? Does any metric in fact? How about the other way, how does having 87IQ prove that this person cannot say something profound sometimes?

Virtually everyone makes ignorant comments from time to time--even the most brilliant people. The issue is vicious comments--and the solution is to terminate their ability to post after the first vicious comment.
