wow, that cnn article marks the first time that reading all the comments in a news post didn't piss me off. i strongly disagreed with many of the viewpoints, but at the very least, none of them were stark raving stupidity. normally i'm against censorship, but i guess moderating public response for something like this is the way to go. ...and it does make me happy that they didn't seem to moderate with a bias for or against any particular viewpoint.
It's not that they're necessarily LOUDER, but just that they, on average, spend a larger proportion of their time talking. The rest of us are thinking about what to say.
