Their most recent issues at the height of the Obama Defunding debate were the last straw for me – that isn’t even in the top 5, there are even bigger issues at hand.

I don’t know the whole shebang about Disqus, but I would betcha that those who use it on several sites have their whole package of comments from all of these related and unrelated places wrapped up with a tidy bow for those who compensate Disqus for their efforts.

I have no doubt about that – problem is it’s becoming more pervasive across the web.

I was trying to add my $.02 to the conversation on Obamacare trainwreck and was shut out for various reasons – imagine if that system controlled most of the conversation?

Take a look at a number of web-sites including http://www.cnsnews.com/ http://www.investors.com http://dailycaller.com/ http://michellemalkin.com/ http://twitchy.com/ http://www.cnsnews.com/ http://washingtonexaminer.com/ http://www.washingtontimes.com/ http://thehill.com/ http://www.politico.com/ etc., etc. and you’ll see that http://disqus.com/ is the only way for someone to provide feedback.

That gives this outfit a great deal of power to influence events – something that needs to be looked at given their checkered track record.

It’s a communist/islamist outfit hosting people who ought to be flayed and their skins nailed on outhouse doors.

Just a couple of examples:

http://www.cnsnews.com/ http://www.investors.com http://dailycaller.com/ http://michellemalkin.com/ http://twitchy.com/ http://www.cnsnews.com/ http://washingtonexaminer.com/ http://www.washingtontimes.com/ http://thehill.com/ http://www.politico.com/ etc., etc.

http://disqus.com/ is the only way for someone to provide feedback and participate in the debate.

The only problem there is that it would stink up the outhouse.

I don’t even bother with that – but I’m seeing a dangerous trend here.

You also can’t post a link, limiting the ability to either inform people or justify your position.

But I think that’s the point of Disqus- to allow loudmouth trolls to shout reasonable people down, and harass them off the site, and not allow factual discussions. It’s very Democrat, very left, very Alinsky.

You enter a liberal environment to debate then whine it’s not “fair”?

Really?

Whenever I go somewhere that has disqus, I notice I can also use FACEBOOK instead.

About two years ago I set up a completely bogus facebook account. My fictitios person went to a particular large east coast high school, graduated about 25 years later than I graduated, went to a large northeastern university and now works for a large midwestern company. My fictitious person accepts any and all friend requests and has more friends than my real account.

The sole reason for setting it up is to use it as the facebook account behind my comments on various internet sites that require some sort of accountability.

Oh, and due to the racial makeup of the american high school I chose, most of my “friends” post in swahili. I kid you not. I had to use Google translate to figure out what language it was.

You can on some sites – but that is a good point.

It just really bothered me yesterday that were that system in most places, they could easily shut down debate whenever they want – on top of all the other issues they have.

If you really want to get in the “Mind” of a certain loathsome troll that infests that system – this is a link to that stalker’s dashboard on disqus:

http://disqus.com/MacIovin/

That particular reprobate is currently Stalking 246 people – meaning it picks up all the postings of those 246 people and then harangues them into silence.

Can you imagine a few Leftist trolls like that dominating Every conversation on the web?

As you said, that is exactly what trolls like it do every day – shout down and reasonable people and drive them away leaving only a Leftist-Commie echo chamber.

Explain what is “Fair” about someone shouting down the Opposition?
Explain what is “Fair” about someone incessantly hounding others just for the purpose of driving them away?
Explain what is “Fair” about someone hacking a system to get around it’s security measures?
