Three Maine newspapers have halted online comments on stories posted on their websites.
MaineToday Media CEO Richard Connor said what was aimed as a public forum for civil discourse devolved into "a forum for vile, crude, insensitive, and vicious postings." In his words, "No story subject seems safe from hurtful and vulgar comments."
Translation: "We got tired of having BULLSH*T shouted at us every time we obediently posted whatever Corporations and the rich and Israel paid us to post."
