The trolls didn't, the thin-skinned whiners did.
But a lot of what is being referred to are cases in which, let's say, a drunk teenager wraps a car around a light pole and kills a pa.s.senger. I will comment on the stupidity of drinking and driving and that it needs to be blasted from the mountaintops how dumb that was. Then I will get yelled at for not being nice "cause what if the driver's family is reading this?" Which types of comments go away? The ones deemed "not nice" or the ones calling me not nice?
Why does one need protection from comments? If they are already in the news, I fail to see how "protection" on a message board is going to make a difference. Sounds more like the pc patrol is what you want.
Does this mean the end to the unending "thoughts and prayers" and "what if their mom was on here reading this drivel?"
What about when facebook decided to "upgrade" its privacy settings. They never tell the users they are about to do this, so for days my account and kids pictures and such will be open to all. I have no problem with the person I am talking to knowing who I am, but I do NOT trust all the people I have seen commenting to leave it at a discourse level, and to NOT use the info to threaten my family. How is this being addressed?
Please list the pros and cons that were debated. That would give us (the people that use this that drive the advertising revenues) a much clearer picture as to why this is a better system.
No, he's not. I have several friends who do not comment on here after receiving threats because someone did not like their posts. Some of the folks that troll here are not what we would call decent folks.
Would that it were possible for the helicopter to be inverted when he jumps out....
Well, the weather is getting warmer, so more time will be spent outdoors..... It was bound to happen!
Again, very true and I agree with you completely.
