When the equivalent of this picture happens in a thread and it becomes a top story, there's no more letting it sink beneath new posts now. It's just lingers there like a trainwreck with no clean up crew. Not only does it make it harder for those involved to move on from a shitty thread, it lends the opportunity to re-ignite the shitstorm, which I won't do here by linking to the thread.

On the other hand, it does allow you to browse articles you might have missed through out the day/week. But DasWarto did that for us just fine, and he did it without giving shitstorms even more attention than they already got.

We had the eqvivalent of that in the commenting systems 5.0 and so on before Kinja. Every story had a "featured thread" that was usually the one with the most replies. Obviously giving trolls the grand stage once they had stirred up enough shit. Best way always is to never feed the troll.
