>It's always a train wreck.
I take the opposite view. When it's a disaster comment section, I see it as: this is actually how some people think. Until there were options, like comments, that gave everyone a platform, it was impossible to tell what people thought about the message being delivered. Good or bad.
Most sites, including this one, the commentary has the best insight.
- nsxwolf 13y agoBut if you look carefully, it's often a relatively small group of trolls burning down the entire section. Take Drudge-linked stories, for instance. There are about 6 super-trolls that aggressively post on every single linked story (the "Feds Made Sarah Palin" guy, the guy that talks like Zippy the Pinhead with all the CAPS). The normal, level-headed people probably aren't posting at all, and they greatly outnumber the trolls who do.
