JuicyCampus' endless threads of anonymous innuendo have been a popular Web destination on the seven college campuses where the site launched last fall, including Duke, UCLA and Loyola Marymount. It recently expanded to 50 more, and many of the postings show they've been viewed hundreds and even thousands of times.

I think it's positive that so many students are speaking out against this type of thing. I don't necessarily agree with filtering, but suspect that in many cases, it's a good thing. The target age group is a tumultuous enough time; dealing with gossip and rumors can be brutal. It's scary how much venom anonymity will invoke!
