— zengjinyan.spaces.live.com — 　　2008年10月10日中午，胡佳从天津潮白监狱转到北京市监狱。转监狱后不到30天的时间里，监狱通知他做了两次的抽血化验。一次在10月份，一次在11月12日。按照常规，抽血化验后一周内可以知道检验结果。时至今日（2008年12月5日），虽然我们多次要求，胡佳和我们家属，都没有收到任何关于化验结果的通知，没有看到相关报告。考虑到胡佳已经服用抗病毒药拉米夫定2年8个月的时间，身体有可能已经产生耐药性，目前的治疗方案有可能对他已经无效。因为不能获知胡佳的化验结果，我们有理由推测他的健康恶化，更加忧虑胡佳的身体状况。 乙肝携带者、患者权益维护活跃人士 陆军 先生就胡佳健康情况给出以下建议： .. ...

The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — Kottke applies the theory to virtual spaces: Much of the tone of discourse online is governed by the level of moderation and to what extent people are encouraged to "own" their words. When forums, message boards, and blog comment threads with more than a handful of participants are unmoderated, bad behavior follows. The appearance of one troll encourages others. Undeleted hateful or ad hominem comments are an indication that that sort of thing is allowable behavior and encourages more of the same. Those commenters who are normally respectable ...

Remainders: New look
Ben Smith's Blog — Trolls, too, respond to the broken windows theory. Pfeiffer says Obama's still for the Employee Free Choice Act. Curtly. Last booze call will be 5.am in DC on inauguration week. Change we can believe in. Bill Richardson can now be a secret emissary. Cillizza thinks he was sending secret signals to Hillary. Judicial Watch doesn't believe in the Saxbe Fix. Barack Obama has a holiday in Alabama. Fox News finally got to ask a question, having been put in its place. ...

Trolls and other objectionable Commenters
The Political Carnival — ... just trying to stir up trouble. Those are usually the ones accusing trusted and long time users of promoting censorship and trollish behavior.
