"...we have been forced to participate in a silly and futile system of reviewing other people's comments, regardless if we have any interest in the topic, or have even read the article in question."

It doesn't matter whether you have read the article or have an interest in the topic. You don't even have to agree with the comment. You are being asked to review the comment and assert that is civil and free from profanity, bigotry and personal insults.
