I think the favoriting button solves a lot of the problems that an ignore user button would address since it allows you to focus on comments from people you are interested in. You might miss an insightful one-off comment that got buried in the Latest Comments section, but if you scroll through articles that you're interested in, you'll likely come across those same comments anyway.

Thanks for the link, Mike. The Giant Pool of Money story by This American Life that is linked to in your link is also a must-listen to understand how the whole sub-prime meltdown happened (Spoiler Alert: it involves a Giant Pool of Money).

Very sad news. I remember going here with the parents and sibs so many times after it opened that I basically had that series of pictures that was always projected onto the wall memorized (I don't think they ever changed it). I'll have to stop in for one last devil roll before it closes.

What about allowing users to customize the size of the Latest Comments box to view more/less comments and, correspondingly, to customize the size of the other interfaces on the site in response? For all I know, this would be a coding nightmare, but it's a thought.
