Any website that I've read that uses Facebook comments on a topic that is even slightly charged (politics, religion, or just mundane cultural phenomena) ends up very trollish and antagonistic. Maybe real IDs keep the spamminess down a bit, but the antagonism is right there front and center. Often times it is YouTube level discourse with the vocabulary of a 7th grader instead of a 4th grader.
