Article relevant to gender, technology and language change on 'comments'

Comments below articles and other user-generated texts can be a very interesting area to study and comments (like the ones I have asked for in a previous post) can raise everyone's engagement with a text by highlighting issues, giving new perspectives or simply showing interest. But here's an argument to do away with them on journalistic sites because of trolling, flaming etc.  In this particular case it is anti-feminist unpleasantness (of an extreme kind - trigger warning).
