OTV: Love To See Racist Trolls Outed
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.
DFO: In her column Monday, Seattle Times columnist Nicole Brodeur cited “John Gabriel’s Greater Internet (Expletive) Theory.” It goes: “Normal person+Anonymity +Audience=Total (Expletive).” Are you bolder writing online under a pseudonym than you are in person?
