So why did Yahoo News drop their comments feature?

I admit, it was usually full of nasty comments.

1. It was so full of nasty comments that there wasn't room for substantive ones. n/t

3. That's kind of what I figured.

There were some real a-holes posting there on a regular basis.

2. Because they were wasting valuable bandwidth giving dingbats a place to comment

Before I came to DU I use to post alot on Yahoo articles.

But it was frustrating and there are alot of stupid people out there in this world, even some on our side of the political spectrum.

Even our local newspaper took away the comments section and instead you have to post with your facebook account. Suddenly the comments dropped way off and again, it was mostly dumbass people from the right-wing trying to instill fear into the masses.
