The HISTalk site, a vendor-supported health IT "gossip" site, has a lower standard for its reader comments than more responsible healthcare blogs and websites such as HCRenewal, allowing anonymous ad hominem and other forms of hysterical or irrational argumentation to be posted without refutation.
In a way, this is good, because such posts may reveal sentiments held by a number of people but rarely expressed, except in an anonymous forum.
