Abandoned!

This script is now abandoned, since I don't read the Guardian "comment is free" pages any more. It doesn't seem to work on the recent new format anyway. Sorry!

What it does

This script enables you to ignore comments from disagreeable people (referred to here as "bozos") from The Guardian comment pages such as "Comment is free" and "Guardian blogs". The script adds a "bozo button" to each commenter. If you press the bozo button, all of the bozo's comments disappear, and all future comments by the bozo will be deleted automatically.

I recommend using this function sparingly, on the worst bozos only.

Restoring a bozo

To undelete a bozo, edit the entry in "about:config". Open a new window in your browser, type "about:config" in the address of the web page, and then type "greasemonkey.scripts" in the filter section. Then find the entry for this script, right-click it, and use either "modify" to edit to remove one or more bozos, or "reset" to delete the entire list and start again.
