Don't Read the Comments

Taken from the Nørwegian Style blog: Oh no… you went and did it again. You’re sitting there reading the comments. The news article itself was actually pretty interesting… so why the hell didn’t you just leave it? Why did you enter this realm of trolling, strawmen, false dichotomies, badly concealed agendas, and ideological sewage? It’s too late now. You feel yourself being drawn into it. Into the comment itself. That one, on the screen, there. It’s not just somebody’s warped, malicious, imbecilic and ignorant idea anymore. Now it’s reality. And you’re inside it. Luckily, you brought your friends.
