sheila (mcclear, i’ve learned) on gawker, a n.y. gossip blog, makes the argument that newspapers should not be in the business of comments.
Newspapers have more important things to do than worry about comments—like, say, report the stories that blogs so desperately need in their 24-7 quest for content!
well, we’re happy to have comments back after a months-long hiatus. the register star encourages community conversation, though you now see our “pool rules” sign before you can post.
i’m sure some of the people across the country who have to scan, warn and ban the “idiot” posters of the world probably got more than a chuckle from sheila’s idea. and they could relate to nerd world’s take on the cruelty of anonymous posters.
