If you visit 4chan, you see the sick trolling don't-give-a-fuck community and act similarly in order to fit in. When we take our daughter to a loud restaurant, she tends to act out. She will scream, yell and sing and even run around the place. That said, when we take her to a quieter place, she acts accordingly. The culture of a website means a lot. You are right about the Huffington Post, the quality of content there is pretty horrible. Why they think their comments would be better than their content is beyond me.
