Even with a famous blogger like Billmon, I often learned more from the comments than from the post itself. I was dismayed when Billmon turned off the comments - but of course it was understandable from his point of view. On the other hand, when Margo Kingston added a comments feature to her webdiary on the Sydney Morning Herald, it was not long before I found the flamewars too discouraging and I don't go to that site much now. So it seems it can work either way. I think what is important is that we are aware of the pros and cons of having comments and that we think about these in relation to what we want to achieve, and review our choice from time to time in terms of the actual outcomes. Thanks for setting the arguments out so well.

With comments, a 2 way dialogue starts between individuals who have 'background' experience through reading eachother's writings. When an indiviual reads a blog it reflects the traditional writer -> reader experience. Introduce comments and you have writer reader. Discussions can lead to backtracking, emailing and a number of other symbiotic links. Treat the Trolls like graffitti, erase their comments and move on. Comments are a part of the media, we just have to keep refining the process. I believe comments are an integral aspect of community creation.
