There are some amazing minds out there contribute great content to the web and sharing their videos, photos, life experiences and opinions and the majority of comments coming from anonymous cowards are completely negative and they lack grammar or common English principles. <\/p>\n<p>The answer to this is requiring tools like Facebook Connect be used to ensure that people commenting are who they say they are. Today, add Disqus or Facebook Connect to your blog and force your readers to be human and be real. Your comments will improve, a community will thrive and you will get fair and respectful commentary instead of the shit that people exclaim without thinking. <\/p>\n<p>If you need help, let me know and I&#8217;ll set it up for you. This has to be stopped and the answer is forcing people to be who they really are.
