不文明的话语在美国修辞中越来越受到关注，这一趋势已经从传统媒体扩展到在线来源，如观众评论。使用一个代表美国人口的样本实验，我们研究了网络不文明对一个特定问题的看法的影响，一个新兴的技术，纳米技术。我们发现，暴露于不文明的博客评论可以使纳米技术的看法沿着宗教信仰和问题支持的路线。
Uncivil discourse is a growing concern in American rhetoric, and this trend has expanded beyond traditional media to online sources, such as audience comments. Using an experiment given to a sample representative of the U.S. population, we examine the effects online incivility on perceptions toward a particular issuenamely, an emerging technology, nanotechnology. We found that exposure to uncivil blog comments can polarize risk perceptions of nanotechnology along the lines of religiosity and issue support.
