Doesn't excuse them? They're under obligation to provide you a voice on their Web site now? Your insight is so invaluable that sites are obligated to provide a commentary mechanism? Just look at the comments on this announcement. "State run media." You need someone full time to delete drivel like that, and you're saying they're obligated to do so and have no excuse not to? I'm tired of this opinion that one deserves a chance to speak in a comments section. While I understand the irony of my saying this here: I have never once in my entire life found value from an Internet comment on some random site. Some discussion communities, a few on Reddit and barely this one, sure, but the comments on CNN? Fox News? Joe's blog? Even your beloved TechCrunch? If you have something to say, develop an audience using your own resources. Personally, I'm tired of every site on the Internet having a comment form because they are always a cesspool of spam, idiocy, and a waste of pixels. I've come close several times to extending my browser to remove Disqus and other comment systems. (Also I find it really odd that your claim to fame, as you say, is TechCrunch comments. Is that some kind of badge of honor for you?)
