It’s time for our second installment of “Edmonton Journal anonymous comments make us look like the worst.”
Ugh.

no surprise this fire started on a native reserve…got out of control with all the somewhat empty whiskey bottles tossed in amongst the garbage

Paula, you are fat, get a life, you want a crappy sprawled out city, go write for the Herald.
Edmonton Needs this Project and it needs it now, today, no more waiting.
- This is your response to a well-written, cogent, eloquent argument against City Council passing Katz’s zoning application? Maybe you should be the one getting a life.
So, here’s what we do, Edmonton. We all get signed-up to Canada.com’s system (It’s your standard name, e-mail, password…) and we start posting smart, informed, sarcastic comments that make those people look even worse.
Oh, and we flag them for being angry, racist, hate-filled Internet trolls and knock them right out of the comment section.
That combination of flagging stupid comments and shouting down the idiots should help keep things in order until the Journal gets better moderation, and less anonymity.
Update: After writing all that stuff up there, I went and commented on a story. That’s me at 4:59pm on April 21, 2010. Why it still says “anonymous” is beyond me. I’m just trying to help you, Edmonton Journal!
Something around here smells like poop, and I think it’s The Edmontonian!
theedmontonian.com, you are fat, get a life, you want a crappy sprawled out city, go write for the thecalgarian.com.
The Journal Needs These awful comments and it needs it now, today, no more waiting.
About an hour ago I took a survey on the journal site (pop-ups may need to be enabled).
One of the questions asked was “what other news sources do I use” The Edmontonian was listed in the check all that apply query.
There was also an open ended question asking for suggestions. I had a few including the horrible comments
Stu, they acknowledged our existence?!
O.M.G.
Wait, they probably meant Edmontonians.
;)
what? Jeff, this isn’t edmontonians?
I AM OUT!
To get your name to show up, you have to upgrade your membership. Instructions are on the FAQ. Intuitive? No. Convenient? No. The system we’re saddled with? Yes, for now. Change is coming, slowly, so stay tuned.
FAQ…I never read those…
But I did ponder what the “My Community” tab was all about. Perhaps next time I’ll take my pondering to the next level and actually look.
Thanks Karen!
Wait…if Karen is here commenting, who’s looking after edmontonjournal.com?!
Hurry back, the Sun could be spam-bombing you right now!!
