I don't see the need to be so sensitive about it. Presumably you come to read the news, primarily, not the comments? Also, the idea of the comments section, I would have thought, is so that you can post your own views for people to see - not specifically to change everybody else's views - and you are not forced to agree with anyone else's views. With the comments section comes the inherent idea that some comments you disagree with, some comments you won't like, and some people you won't like. But that's life - and it would be (more) boring otherwise.

Well, I love reading what other people say. It's when you have to decipher what they are saying first that gets me down. It makes me lose all faith in humanity. On a more basic level, it makes it hard to understand the point that someone is trying to get across. It might be the most valid, life-changing point in the world, but if it's ill-written and needs translating, then the point may be lost and the world may never be the better place it could have been.I have to say I admire SuperSaiyan4 for trying to make it clearer. See, I believe if you live and let live, then nobody will learn from their mistakes. But if heavy criticism is taken the right way- e.g. "I am going to show these bastards they are WRONG about me!" - then it may mean that one matures and grows in a positive direction in the face of arrogant negativity.I for one know that I can be a picky bastard, but I don't mean no harm really guv'nor. I just like to dish out a bit of tough love from time to time. SS4 is definitely maturing in attitude and commentary; all we need to do now is teach him/her how to do grammar right and the world will be an idyllic utopia. I believe that it's possible that SS4 may even rise to be President of such a utopia. Stranger things have happened...
