Nothing At All Suspicious About These Blog Comments…

One of the less awesome parts of the internet is the veil of anonymity that so many people take advantage of by writing things they'd never say in person. We've all been guilty of it at one point or another.


The other side of that is that people think they're being slick when they leave a bunch of comments on an old post with a clear agenda. It's why I don't envy TripAdvisor's job for having to weed out fake reviews. Often when I review hotels in smaller cities where there are only a couple of competitors, something like a year later I'll randomly get five new comments over a week on the review bashing the hotel.


But here's a unique one. Yesterday some "random" comments were left on some posts about the Korean Air nut rage incident, all from the same IP.
