## Description

The WordPress community was understandably polarized by the shocking abuses of power
represented by the `capital_P_dangit()` function inserted in core with version 3.0.
Personally, I felt like it didn’t go far enough. The same week, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert
posted his incoherent “open letter” to NBA.com, cut-and-pasted from Microsoft Word
with all the Word formatting spans still intact – including a font-family: Comic
Sans declaration. Watching the world’s reaction, I realized that WP site admins 
needed a filter which could prevent this.

## FAQ

#### What do you have against Comic Sans?

If you have to ask…

#### Any future upgrades planned?

Funny you should ask… If anyone’s interested, the obvious corollary to this is an
option to moderate hostile comments by setting them in Comic Sans. I’ll add that
in if there’s any interest.
