NoScript and similar are self-inflicted pain. Yes, content should work without JavaScript where possible, but at the same time, comments about it really don't need to show up on unrelated articles. In this case, the site in question is constructed entirely client-side using JavaScript. I'm not a huge fan of that approach, but complaining about it here (as opposed to with the site in question) is not helpful. The same comment could appear attached to any number of articles posted here, and it'd be equally content-free there.


I would, except that I couldn't without JS. Interesting catch-22 there.

(Like people looking at website statistics collected using JS and then saying "see? Everyone runs JS")

JS;DR - nice, I'll be borrowing that one in future.
