This week, Onward State will be implementing a pilot program to see how our website’s community would benefit from Facebook integration with our comment system. We have a hunch that Facebook integration will bring forth a new dawn of accountability and thusly raise the level of discourse on our website. You’re still welcome to accuse Kevin Horne of being a virgin in our comment section (encouraged, even), but just know that now we’re going to “poke” you when you do.
