I find it remarkable that the "Anonymous commenting turns people into idiots" theroy has finally made its way into the field of sports blogs. This has all happend before in others venues. Take a look at the work of Dr Jonathan Gabriel for further study.

"I've been on the air for more than a decade in radio, and the only thing I've ever regretted in my life is The Big Lead thing," he says. "My dad was a small-business owner, and I would never in a million years inhibit a small-business owner's ability to operate. It was very off-the-cuff. ... I regret it. I felt terrible about it."

Well, at least he says he feel bad about it.
