On a different note, the second Techcrunch commenter says

"Reads like a high school essay. Too long. Didn't finish. Boring. Lift your game."

Now this may be true or not. But this is definitely mean and doesn't add any real value to the conversation.

I thought FB comments are supposed to keep out mean people under the assumption that mean attacks (true or not) come from people who hide behind an anonymous name. And they wouldn't do it with real identity.

So the question is what if people will still be mean even with their real identity attached? Does it hurt more if the attack comes from a real person?

At least to me, the attack doesn't hurt any more coming from a facebook account than from anonymous. Either way I feel like a real person wrote it. In my experience, true online trolls are also true real life trolls.
