Need to check

Let's take it one step further. A lot of webmasters cherrish trolls. That would NEVER ban them, except when they might get the webmasters themselves into legal trouble. I could name a couple of news sites in my country that would not be so popular without trolls. People presenting radical opinions as fact are a great way to convince more people to sign up and give their own 'opinion'. That becomes a nice home for more trolls and before you know it, page hits and advertisement revenue are booming.

Blah, opinions... what we call an opinion these days is just the first thought that comes into the ill informed person's head and makes its way into a YouTube comment box. Let's ban having an opinion, then who dares to still speak out is someone I'd be willing to listen to!
