OrangeTV: If we just turn off the acrid, narrow-minded comments, I'm afraid the racism would just fester and grow in the dark. That comments board shines a light on these morons and gives people a chance to confront them and hopefully get across the message that they speak for a very small minority of Idahoans. Unfortunately,in an anonymous forum, these cockroaches seem immune to the spotlight and don't easily scatter. i'd love to see what those trolls would do if someone traced their IP addresses and published their comments under their real names. They'd shrivel up like slugs in salt.
