These folks used to get their "Jollies" writing in places like on restroom walls but now they can score a larger audience online.

I got into an argument with a guy on Facebook saying the same crap the other day, and he had his full name and picture displayed and everything. This is Alabama. People don't care.

Anonymity doesn't prevent valuable dialog. Openness doesn't ensure civility. Proper moderation is the key.

If they switched to Facebook comments, it would certainly help. Yes, a lot of people (and a few on this message board) don't see anything wrong with racist, homophobic, or sexist comments but it would cut down on a LOT of the crap on al.com

So what are you saying ?
Are you saying the inbred, walmart tube sock inspecting, full size 1980's van with a hover-round on the back owning, trailer park trash members of the Aryan Brotherhood don't have facebook accounts ?
