It pointed out the issue and actually provided a solution. I agree with Brock that commentators have become "shouting matches only tangent to the political topics". All to often, I find myself looking at comments before the actual piece of literature. I also like your Jim Carrey quote. Do you think that the reason people ridicule each other is become of the anonymity? Anyways, great article!Lisa P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01054861439344074989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291315950274968437.post-1643368732049137532012-10-09T10:24:35.180-07:002012-10-09T10:24:35.180-07:00I appreciated your analysis of uncivilized blog co...I appreciated your analysis of uncivilized blog comments. I especially liked how you talked about the way in which people attempt to "prove" their political points using name-calling and completely irrelevant evidence. It makes me realize that most of these outrageous blog comments have almost no substance. Rather than real arguments that have gotten out of hand, they often seem to be shouting matches only tangent to the political topics they claim to be about. Again, I thought your analysis was thought-provoking and your inclusion of comics and actual examples helped frame your argument nicely.
