No, I'm not talking about the 'Tim Blair Makes Fun of Margo's Appearance' debate. I'm referring to this:
PROVOCATIVE ONE-LETTER POST INTENDED TO LURE COMMENTS
j
Really! One letter posts? It might have seemed like a fun idea at the time, but it's not too difficult to imagine what might happen. Soon people might be posting a 'g', or a 'f' or even single items of punctuation such as '?', ',' and '-' - for the sole purpose of stimulating comments. Soon, offensive messages such as -
'hgoenh[lkdwlm'
might be posted on the internet.
Oh, sure, there's nothing wrong with a 'j' - but think of where it might lead. It's a slippery slope, people!

I suggest he didn't go far enough. Why did the post contain any letters at all? I demand more NO letter posts. Including the heading.
How about posts containing only half-a-letter? Or posts which contain only items of punctuation? For instance:
!!!
or the thought provoking:
?
Or what about:
&
Never neglect the literary power of the ampersand!
