Hey! Scottie's discovered nut-picking. Or saw it linked, which is
much
likelier than the thought of him studiously examining the many kos
diaries.

Why are there so many kos diaries? What is the point letting
the loonies vent?
BTW, which one is yours?

I don't read dailykos,

So Huffington Post is your home.

Let's cut this short: you can tell from my cites what sites I read.

Did you cite something? I must have missed it.

I cite, so, yes, you must have missed it.

Did you hear her on Ingraham where she said she has to employ
30 full time moderators to keep vile crap off the message boards?
What does that say about the left?

No. How much of that "vile crap" is due to right-wing trolls?

Little to none as it is mostly directed against conservatives.

Is it Huffington or Ingraham who employees thirty moderators? You aren't
clear.

On the
other hand, some famous right-wing blogs don't have comments at all.

Yup, because they don't want to have to police the lefties who come
on and pollute the place.

No, the ones that do have comments have no trouble banning unwanted
posters.

Maybe you've noticed how LGF handles it. Brief opportunities to register
in limited numbers.
Constant monitoring with a quick hook. Keeps the loonies out.

Yes, that's the kind of thing I meant.

In order to make groupthink testable, Irving Janis devised eight
symptoms that are indicative of groupthink (1977).

1. Illusions of invulnerability creating excessive optimism and
encouraging risk taking.
2. Rationalising warnings that might challenge the group¹s assumptions.
3. Unquestioned belief in the morality of the group, causing members to
ignore the consequences of their actions.
4. Stereotyping those who are opposed to the group as weak, evil,
disfigured, impotent, or stupid.
5. Direct pressure to conform placed on any member who questions the
group, couched in terms of ³disloyalty².
6. Self censorship of ideas that deviate from the apparent group
consensus.
7. Illusions of unanimity among group members, silence is viewed as
agreement.
8. Mindguards ? self-appointed members who shield the group from
dissenting information.
