My official announcement: I am boycotting Huffington Post, for good. (Updated) [View all]

For these reasons, I no longer will EVER go to a Huffer Post link, anymore.

1. Huffington Post brass screw their writers.

2. The page takes too long to load, when it actually DOES load.
I just tried reading an article there, and my anti-virus blocked THREE attempts at shoving malware/adware/viruses into my computer.
After the page stopped dead the third time, I gave up.

3. Huffington Post is a unabashed advocate for the worst quacks.
Anti-vaxxers, dubious (at best) "treatments," if a quack advocates it, Huffington Post will run it.
And not be critical of it either.

Update: Adding an article from the "Encyclopedia of Americans Loons."
