Who use their real name, would be willing to post a nasty "troll like" posting? Betting many wouldn't if they have to take the consequences with it.

it would cut down on the number of disgusting posts. Not really. It seems there are a lot of horrible people out there and they don't care who knows it.

Also, it seems that many bloggers say that they were cached in.

Even without that 1% sleaze I found Huffington Post to be irritating, esp. when the owner Arianna Huffington would play the role of "liberal pundit" on TV.

has burned my last nerve. I barely go there anymore. DU is much better. When I have time, I'd rather read reddit.

a few years ago because I and other people would post well thought out responses but they would get deleted by their moderators. The nasty attack right wing posts would be left alone. I realized that dozens of people a day would complain about this fact but nothing was done. So, fuck it, I quit reading and posting on HuffPo.
