 * When I submit a comment while logged in and with text in the comment, I get an
   error message and the console shows that the AJAX post to wp-comments-post.php
   returned a 500 error.
 * However when I refresh the page, that comments shows up as having been posted.

 * Returning a 500 error is the way WordPress handles comment form submits with 
   invalid data (i.e. invalid email addresses or empty comments). So this does not
   have to be a problem.
 * Could you please send me a link to your site where I can reproduce the problem?
 * Best regards,

   to help! Your plugin is awesome.
