Yep, the more vicious and "sensational" the comments, the more people expect such to be noticed. My father used to call it "yellow journalism". It actually has the opposite effect, in my opinion. People get desensitized to this stuff and simply ignore it. I am always interested in reading legitimate opinions by others, even if they disagree with me; but when I see the vicious and obviously slanted stuff, I simply ignore it. Best, Bob Robert A.
