Healthcare conversations of the week
by Tony Chen
Joel Spolsky wrote an article about comments on blog posts that closely relates to the RateMDs issue you bring up above:
When a blog allows comments right below the writer’s post, what you get is a bunch of interesting ideas, carefully constructed, followed by a long spew of noise, filth, and anonymous rubbish that nobody … nobody … would say out loud if they had to take ownership of their words.
I think there’s value to free discussion, but I’m thinking more and more that the value is lost when folks are allowed to post anonymously.
