A user (I’m thinking it was NorasMom, but it could’ve been you) did mention that WECT and WNCT had terrible comment sections as well.
It might have been me. I swear the WECT Facebook comments sections are partially what drove me away from Wilmington.

You need to explain to me what the appeal is. Every comments section I've seen for news outlets is a ****show and it's clear that it's become a forum for trolls. Do you think it's funny, or is it more that you like when people you don't agree with get ripped apart? Something else? I'm totally serious, I'm not trolling you.
verbal jousting

As a card carrying millennial who has been all over the internet you come to appreciate the artistry of trying to get reactions from people

The best trolling is when you emphasize a fact but amplify it in a controversial way

So basically, it's entertainment. Thanks for explaining.

I never related to it or enjoyed it. It's a shame when it takes over actual intelligent conversation or someone requesting help, just for the sake of the troll getting attention. At least, that's the way I look at it.

No reduction, initial price, but maybe looking for multiple bids. Grr, they could have gotten more, I'm sure of it.

Maybe the selling price will be better, if they prompt a bidding war.

Just watched a toad orgy at Duke Gardens. It was fascinating.

Just watched a crane lift roof trusses up to a crew to nail down on a new home. It was fascinating

Costco was out of Regular tonight, so they were selling Premium at the price of Regular.

I filled up there last weekend and it was something like $2.29 for Regular, IIRC. Today it was $2.43. That's a huge leap from just a few days ago. Their website says Premium is $2.89.

Easter travel, something else happening?

Pure evil in there.
Never read the comments. And those people in the comments are your coworkers, your neighbors, your police officers, your government employees, your elected officials , etc... Good ol’ US of A.

The comment sections on most news outlet websites make the Politics and other Controversies section of C-D forums look like a 5 year old's princess tea party.
