Why does the USA and Canada media react the same way when the subject is women's parts or sex?

Are these subjects so odd?

nah. this was just one a$$hole troll who kept baiting everyone and then flagging their comments... people responded in kind flagging his comments and it appears the freep just got sick of having to deal with the fighting.

Lindor Reynalds has her column on this - So many idiots writing in comments, and the comments seem to be staying published.

Papers are changing to keep their readers so a more interactive thing is a good idea...but it requires an effort to be put into it.



The FREEP appears to be taking the easy way out imo.

The tools the freep have put in place, and their editorial policies, make engaged debate on their website difficult.

Then there are the trolls. The sun is rife with the worst kind of trolls. Two extremes.

I'm of the mind to just let it go...leave it as a free-for-all. Soon it'll police itself, or they could just filter certain people. But it takes a real effort to be put into the idea.

apparently it was a bot trolling the site and flood spamming it. Only way was apparently to shut down the conversation.

Plus well there was that "university" fellow who is a nutjob troll to the extreme.

I have never understood the point of trolling. What does the troller get out of it?
