Ah yes, that anonymity is a bugger, isn’t it…?

the web, and its anonymity factor, lends itself to the worst in people.

take for instance youtube and its unmoderated comments, advertisers are foolish for letting themselves be tarred and feathered while paying a handsome fee.

back around the first of the year chevy was a sponsor, i stupidly posted about buying an 07 equinox (for my 16 year old daughter) and how the 100k warranty was a deciding factor.

needless to say, that comment was attacked by several who i guessed couldn’t afford 1 let alone 60 of the payments.

it’s a good thing i didn’t mention my daughter in the comment; she probably would have been attacked likewise.

oy!

I don’t think I’ve ever been through a redesign - newscasts included - where people didn’t complain. Nothing new. It says more about the non-constructive posters than it does about Wired - which has always taken risks, always heard from the whiners, and always succeeded.
