nasty comments
The internet still has pockets of very nasty comments in some very public places. It sounds reasonable to insist that if enough people object, the comments will be removed and the commenters will have to improve their behavior, but that doesn't seem to happen. If enough comments are nasty enough, the site is left to an in-group that appreciates foul language, and is pleased to have a site all to itself, as a little world of its own. Some sites that are very popular really have no way to flag an obscene or extremely rude comment. They seem to have a process for this, but you may be stuck in neverland if you attempt to use it. And who wants to spend time telling rude people to stop? Maybe we could each give it an hour a week, or something like that.
