This prevents pointless comments and flamewars--of course, it also means I probably won't let you flame me baselessly in my blog comments, but there's no free speech on a private website anyways.
- blasdel 17y agoThere is free speech, it just belongs to the publisher :)
- jbrennan 17y agoThere wouldn't be free speech on the private site, but there's nothing stopping a would-be commenter from writing their own rebuttal article, were comments disabled. I like this better because there's a much smaller chance of a flamewar happening, and the responses will generally be well thought out.
