      "We’ve made a habit out of telling people not to read the comments online. But what started as a cynical in-joke has become a bad habit, and an excuse for enabling abuse across the web."

      Just pointing out that while comments are terrible, it's Huffington Post that enables them to happen unchecked.

      > (they're not a tech company)

      Is that a nod to Anil Dash's post[1] arguing that there is no tech industry as such?
