It looks like there is a global war on comments sections in online media, not just in South Africa.

It appears that comments change people's opinions.

The kind of people that vote conservative are often the kind of people that spout hate online. Suprise? No.

“Most comment sections are vats of poison, filled with grammatically questionable rants at best and violent hate speech at worst.”

Hate speech bollocks.

Too many just believed they were not allowed to be offended.

It does. You can do the experiment yourself here on MyBB. Pick two article threads where you are the first "responder". Be positive in the one and negative ion the other one and see how the drones follow your opinion for a the first couple of posts.

Yeah I once blamed "cANCer" for something. I don't know what it was. But all the posts above me seemed to think so.

Same here, it was more of a dig at Patrick, as he has a known tendancy to ignore any and all rational arguments.

Unless it is abzo's opinion of course :twisted:

I thought Fox News was the right-wing propoganda machine?

I think he is saying that Breitbart is so far to the crazy right it makes Fox news look liberal by comparison.

Look all people spout some kind of hotel online

All people spout hate online, it's just that its all in the eye/ear of the beholder.
