Kinda funny, forcing them into Facebook and most of them leave :p And of course, there's plenty of complaints about all the trolls there

Could not have happened to a better website.

It also requires Facebook verification, which requires a cell phone number.

Let me get this straight....Facefarque requires you to have a cellphone?

I know I see all these airheads frantically tapping away at their phones 24/7, but geez. I guess they know their audience?

Joining Facebook would be like a Body cavity search in the parking lot as you step from your car before you enter the mall

But I bet they continue to defend voting without ID to the death!

That will screen out privacy advocates, for sure. Sort of narrows the focus a bit.

They didn’t want to leave any breadcrumbs to track them down when they troll.

That is funny. Huff Post has paranoid left wingers as its base. Imagine requiring these lunatics to identify themselves before they post. Policy will soon be discontinued.

up until a week ago I was going on HP to basically post headlines of news stories that HP did not (would not) post. It was entertaining for me to see the vitriolic comments posted in response to the mere presentation of FACT.
That was when I could use a phoney email.
I’ll have to get those jollies elsewhere somehow now.

Several online news sites have converted to Facebook member comments. Can’t think of the last time someone commented in the local rag. Crickets.

I'm proud to say I'm one of the trolls there. I love to push the buttons of the radical liberals there.

“Soni said about 75 percent of comments are rejected because they contain “unpublishable levels of vitriol.”

That quote is crap and he knows it. Their legions of censors delete posts from the more conservative of us on a regular basis.

They allow their liberal posters to spew as the please, using catchphrases such as monkey-Bush, Bush-Hitler, Teabagger, ect. If a conservative uses any thing to put their messiah, the man behind the curtain, the Great and Wonderful OZbama (I would be deleted for that), in a bad light you get the boot. Any derivative of Liberal like libnut, libtard, Dimocrap, ect, is booted. Republicants, Repugnicans, all good. Obumble, Odumble, booted.

No matter what spin they put on it, Huff-N-Puff, as I refer to it, is an extremely radical liberal ultra-left leaning site, permeated with a wide range of America haters who live in a universe totally bereft of commonsense.

All in all I love to go there just to confront their unbelievable naivety with facts and proof. It really confuses then and sometimes a head might explode. It's fun.

Well, perhaps that they assume that all the trolls are not fellow-travelers, so getting rid of the leaves just the choir to preach to, and get all the names of the gullible social media types to sell the info to boiler room operations and the DNC.

This way, it's 1968 all over, and they can say "I don't know any one who didn't vote Dim".

I have some posters mention doing something similar here on FR. I hope it never happens.

Gannett did the same thing with the reional newspaper here. Monday morning, looking to make comments... nope! The newspaper demanded that I create a Facebook account, to read the comments.

Here’s the kicker. My published article showed on the Saturday before that Monday! I could not go see if folks had placed comments at my own published article, without the creation of a Facebook page.

I informed the Features Editor, that this new system, locked me out of my own article. As to her response, I refused the rights to any of my articles, withdrew any future articles that I WAS going to submit, and of course, gave her directions how to get there.

And in the time since, the CIA has admitted, that it was THEY who devised Facebook!!

The new system requires people to sign in through Facebook if they want to comment on any of the stories.

Our local Gannett newsrag did that a couple of years ago. The kinds of opinion columns and letters to the editor that used to get hundreds of responses in the online forum now get a dozen or so, and those which garnered dozens in the past get a few or none. Says something about FB.
