Here are CS researchers blogging partially anonymously.
http://blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2011/12/what-is-breakthrough.html#comment-form http://blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2011/12/what-is-brea... . Similar nastiness can be found on Scott Aaronson's blog.
Is it strange that almost all of the nasty comments are anonymous?
As an honest researcher, you can't just delete the criticism, even if it's unproductive, hostile, and borderline trolling.
To be fair, there is some nastiness from people who post their real names. But I don't think that moderation is the solution.
- mikeash 15y agoWhy can't an honest researcher delete unproductive and hostile criticism? If their criticism really needs to be read, they can go and post it on their own blog. Comments are a way to allow participation, but nothing requires them to be a free for all.
