OT: For those of you that use Azcentral

[MaryvalesFinest]

First to anyone who doesn't know what azcentral is it's basically the site for the local Phoenix metro area paper that lists news from things that happen across the globe to Phoenix Suns related news.

http://www.azcentral.com/

I was just going to say does anyone else notice the increase in lunatics using that website?

Not so much on Phoenix Suns or other sports related articles but mostly on the political articles or other news happening around the country or world. There were a few lunatics that used it before of course but does anyone else notice the increase?

It seems lately there has been an influx of conspiracy theorists, neo-nazis, misfits, trolls, rejects and what ever other nuts that make crazy comments on some of the articles but it seems azcentral doesn't do much to remove their comments. At times it seems like a white supremacist website with a Suns news section...

Just wondering if I'm just being paranoid or is anyone else who uses that site notice this?

Also I hope you guys arn't any one of those people I just described

I never read political post on any site anywhere, because that is all you get from people hiding behind computer screens, why do that to yourself?? When there is violence perpetrated against people, some people will say hooray to piss you off or they might actually agree with the hate, sexism, racism and any other ism's, either way the are distrubed. So people are a**holes, don't let them get you down, the little 's

[WTFsunsFTW]

I regret to inform you this is no recent phenomenon. I am still, to this day, utterly baffled that AZCentral allows comments on their articles.

Yeah, Im not a fan of the comments sections because of the morons on every post there. by the way mary, I have read some of yours and would state they are a little out there too. Many might say that about me. There is also a trend in how this website and news organization publishes news. They tend to love to get on certain subjects that get a lot of hits. That is politics, religion, sports and crimes. I have been sick and tired how they tend to report on certain issues and have called them out on it many times.

but lets get this straight about the comments. If the website is going to allow it, it is free speech if it is under their rules. It is not one set of group as you are tending to paint here. Just because your political views might be one way, others might feel the same that you are a lunatic and moron. If you look at it, there are horrible post from racism, sexism, politics, religion, and so forth. It comes from all sides and fronts.

From when Bush was president and the nut jobs that would comment about him as president to Obama now, it is the same. If you give people a soapbox, especially a screen name and platform, you are going to get all type of nut jobs in there. Just what happens.

I usually laugh and move on because it does not affect me. I do think they should not allow most articles to have comment sections because that is when it gets ugly. In a way, its kind of a dirty business.

Yeah I know people did it before but it seems like the past few weeks it's got out of hand and wondering if anyone else noticed the same thing.

AZ Republic IS a troll haven, especially from La Raza.

haha... That is WHY I read AZC. (Kind of makes me miss the good ol days with Culburn Castleberry, who could bring such havoc you'd cry for a hundred JMacs* and MVFs )

Each site has its own offerings. Pity though that they seem to put forth such miniscule effort to enforce their own rules.



* Don't bunch up yer briefs... you've been stick pokin an already agitated hornet's nest... bound to get stung a few times. You'll heal with a little spit and mud.

My posts are excellent. The problem is, when I post, I use such good evidence to support my point of view, people tend to question theirs and that causes self doubt, insecurities and anger toward themselves, which leads to people lashing out at me to express their emotional state. I never post topics with the intent to start a riot. I can't help it if people respond as such. People normally get frustrated when they can't prove their point.

BTW, I really loved that whole " My posts are excellent. People can't handle the brilliance and insight of my arguments and this causes self-doubt, anxiety and fear." (paraphrase)

Yes, we can't handle the truth. And in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is in for an ass-kicking.

[WTFsunsFTW]

JMac you should consider doing the opposite of your instincts for a week and see if life is easier for you.
