public ActionResult AddComment(CommentAddModel model)
{
    return 
        IfNotValidModelStateViewContent(model) ?? 
        IfNotKnownHumanViewCommentCaptcha(model) ?? 
        AddCommentThenViewReciept(model);
}

private ActionResult IfNotValidModelStateViewContent(CommentAddModel model)
{
    var contentItem = _repository.FindById<ContentItem>(model.Id);
    return !ModelState.IsValid ? View(contentItem, model) : null;
}

private ActionResult IfNotKnownHumanViewCommentCaptcha(CommentAddModel model)
{
    var sessionId = _httpContextProvider.Current.Session.SessionID;
    var isKnownHuman = _captchaService.IsKnownHuman(sessionId);
    return !isKnownHuman ? ViewCommentCaptcha(sessionId, model) : null;
}

private ActionResult AddCommentThenViewReciept(CommentAddModel model)
{
    var contentItem = _repository.FindById<ContentItem>(model.Id);
    _commentService.AddCommentToEntity(contentItem, model.Body, model.AuthorName, model.AuthorEmailAddress);
    _repository.Save(contentItem);
    return ViewCommentReceipt(contentItem.Url);
}
