Those same trolls have now moved over to the patoday.ca site, I had to tell one off yesterday...

Wouldn't want anyone to be offended by something. Thank you for saving us from all the bad words.

Guest, it's not a matter of being offended by 'bad words'. It's a matter of discussion. The paLive was supposed to be a chat-ish place where we could discuss things. Discussions, real and potentially productive ones, don't resort to name-calling, profanity or other personal attacks. It was getting to the point where information, especially on things like school closures or bus cancellations didn't have a chance to stay on the page to be seen because others were treating paLive as they would a Facebook chatroom. And Heaven help anyone who interrupted their conversation with a request for information or assistance!

No, if they've gone elsewhere, I'm okay with that. PAToday may have the resources to monitor the chat area 24/7. paNOW has better things to do, I think.

As it has happened so many times in the past, the few spoil it for the many!

I have nothing against, open, honest debate, but when people only know how to use racist remarks and nasty language to get their point across...what is the point of furthering the discussion. Sad!

No, Mr. H, you didn't have to do anything of the sort. It's not your place. Go mod your own dealio and quit trying to control everything you touch

Glad to see it go personally. It became the FB of the news world. If it was used as an information exchange as people claim, that would be great. Unfortunately it turned into hearing about what was happening in people's day, etc. Chat room stuff and that is what FB is for, not PANow.
