Many Web commenters are just bullies

It's happening again. The inane banter and skewed logic being strewn across the comment threads is reaching another crescendo. When will it end?

The facts, the well-thought, well-expressed comments, are being squeezed out by the "who can attack clandestinely," and "my thoughts are more important than yours" entries. It's getting worse than confusing, it's downright ignorant.

Perhaps those who insist on continuing to find loopholes, in every facet of the online Terms of Service, would do well to concentrate their efforts toward a campaign that would better inform? Rather, these chosen few effectively take away from imparting knowledge in their raucous attempts to cast themselves the know-it-alls that they expose themselves to be. Fitting, but futile.

Who screams loudest isn't always the winner. I thought we passed the schoolyard bully mentality by the time we reach adulthood.
