(32,822 posts)3. Each article has a comments section at the bottom.
Normally it's a collection of fairly reasonable people with the occasional incursion by a Freeper who gets shouted down.
Today most of the threads are wall-to-wall Freeper.

(33,688 posts)7. HuffPo is overrun by really nasty trolls and has been for a while.
I spent a year and a half over there before coming back to DU, where trolls are tombstoned with extreme prejudice.
They're like roaches over at HP.

(39,451 posts)9. I spend alot of time on HuffPo - just ignore them.
They do attract alot of gopers.
One day I had one respond to 3 of my comments! I finally asked him if he was stalking me.
Creepers.
Ignore. It's just a comment page, not a place where you are going to be able to have an adult conversation -
especially with the type of creepers that post on a left-leaning news site.
