In reply to the discussion: Adios Huffington Post [View all]Dash87
(3,220 posts)I joined in 2006 when it was still only for college students, and I've hated it ever since they've allowed every pedophile, racist, and creep to join. I still have an account, but never go on anymore. Part of the problem I was having with the non-edu Facebook was creepy people messaging me and weirding me out. I still use my account sometimes, or otherwise I would just delete it.
So, my question is, why would I want to subject myself to this on the internet, where trolls are lurking in every corner? Who in their right mind, especially on a site like HuffPo, would want anonymous creepers knowing their real names so that they can stalk them, or have their picture out there for weirdos to find? That would make me nervous, especially given the wackos that frequent sites like that.
I stopped going to HuffPo anyways, though, due to their crappy journalism and poor site moderation.
