Trolls School Brand X Moderator

At Brand X Blog Central, moderator “Chris” is having a hard time keeping the inmates from taking over the prison. He interjects in a thread re: Mary Souza’s latest column :

“Okay … Corralling content for topic relevance is not our purpose. We do track individuals who seem to troll up threads with inane comments. But generally we look to keep personal conflicts between posters to a minimum and to remove offensive posts that contain a wide and creative variety of profanity. Even staying within such simple guidelines we’re routinely accused of bias, etc. … My suggestion would be to ignore the foolish content and respond to the pertinent material.”

He posted this after an anonymous commenter responding to “Ugh” wrote: “You OBVIOUSLY have not worked for a woman on the rag! If you cannot keep your emotions or hormones out of business decisions then DONT BE IN BUSINESS!” The Berry Picker who alerted me to the thread commented: “I guess referencing women ‘on the rag’ is considered relevant and/or not offensive to Souza’s column.”
