Muhammad Saleem writes: if you’ve contributed to any of the major social news sites, you are probably aware of the fact that the commenters on these sites are not the most articulate or the most civil members of the social web. in fact, in many cases, on sites like digg, the commenters are juvenile and downright abusive.

good article, but anyone who’s tried to make a sane point heard on Digg, or called someone out, knows that it is a losing battle. You can’t win an arguement with someone to whom logic, reason and civility are unknown concepts.

True story. Just got my third death threat on StumbleUpon yesterday, by a user who "liked" below 30 pages since 2006 (compared to almost 5k after 6 months that I "liked").

Speaking of abusive - NEVER submit a story of israeli’s nuking palestine to Digg or vice versa to Propeller - I’m warning you :D
